Efficient Hydrogen Production

Research Associate Anand Tiwari, PhD student Saifur Rahman, and Professor Will Scheideler co-authored "3D Printed Microlattices of Transition Metal/Metal Oxides for Highly Stable and Efficient Water Splitting" published in Advanced Materials Technologies. The paper presents a novel 3D printing method to create low-cost and efficient electrodes for electrocatalytic hydrogen production. "The resulting materials have shown exceptional durability and electrocatalytic activity, making them promising for large-scale water splitting and sustainable hydrogen fuel production," said Rahman

EIT for Early Bleed Detection

PhD students Spencer Bertsch Th'19 and Navid Rashedi, alum Yifei Sun Th'22, and Professors Ethan Murphy (first author), Jonathan Elliott, Ryan Halter, and Vikrant Vaze—along with DHMC and Mayo Clinic researchers—co-authored "Non-invasive biomarkers for detecting progression toward hypovolemic cardiovascular instability in a lower body negative pressure model" published in Scientific Reports. The paper summarizes how electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can be used as a novel marker for early bleed detection.

Guarini 2024 Best Poster Award

PhD student Huan Zhao won the best poster award at Guarini's 2024 Graduate Student Poster Session. Titled "Additively Manufactured Metamaterial using Piezoceramic-Polymer Composite," the poster presented an innovative way to fabricate piezoelectric composites with improved mechanical, thermal, and electrical performance. This research—part of Yan Li's Group and supported by NASA—addresses the need for damage monitoring and process control for future in-space manufacturing.

Liquid Metal Wires for Wearable Electronics

PhD students Saifur Rahman and Simon Agnew '22, Research Associate Anand Tiwari, and Professor Will Scheideler co-authored "3D Woven Liquid Metals for Radio-Frequency Stretchable Circuits" published in Advanced Materials Technologies. "We've developed a new way to make better, more comfortable wearable electronics. The key is a special type of interwoven wire made from liquid metal that can stretch and bend without losing its ability to transmit signals."

Evolving Ontologies

Professor Eugene Santos co-authored "Bayesian-knowledge driven ontologies: A framework for fusion of semantic knowledge under uncertainty and incompleteness" published in PLOS ONE. The paper describes how to fuse multiple conflicting ontologies into a single knowledge base. "Biomedicine's rapid advancement is inundating us with new words, labels, and concepts that can be duplicative or even contradictory," says Santos.

Interface Design for Bioelectronic Implants

Professor Alex Boys co-authored "Bioelectronic interfacial matching for superior implant design" published in Cell Reports Physical Science, including discussion of the relevance of different mechanical and electronic factors. "Interface design is an important aspect for any material that is implanted into the body," says Boys, "and we wanted to provide a framework for researchers who work on bioelectronics to think about this important issue."
