CEM Faculty member Len Brillson was awarded, in conjunction with Profs. Wu Lu and Stephen C. Lee, a Lumley Interdisciplinary Research Award. The three professors, members of the Departments of Electrical & Computer Engineering (Brillson, Lu) and Biomedical Engineering (Lee), have worked together to research the use of Field-effect Transistors (FETs) as protein sensors for biomedical applications. The development of this technology may lead to faster and cheaper diagnostics in clinical, biotechnological, and environmental applications.
The Lumley Interdisciplinary Research award was established in honor of John H. Lumley, a 1927 graduate of ceramic engineering, in 2002 to recognize interdisciplinary research accomplishments of College of Engineering faculty and research staff.
Congratulations Len!
