    Biodegradable Sensors for the Brain: Intracranial Pressure Monitor for Traumatic Brain Injury

    Newly developed brain sensors have the capability to biodegrade: that is, all the sensor materials dissolves away in cerebrospinal fluid over a controlled time period. Secondary surgery to remove implants becomes unnecessary and a nidus of infection, bleeding, and surgical risk is removed. The sensors’ wireless operation provides a fully implantable brain monitor in real time, eliminating the need for hospital visits for for additional treatment. The pressure sensors have 3D microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) structure exploiting piezoresistivity of Si nanomembranes, flexibility of biodegradable polymer (PLGA), and nano-porous or Mg foil structural materials.

Welcome to Multi-Dimensional Materials Laboratory

Our philosophy...

We explore real solutions for society issues including bio-healthcare, environment, safety and reliability problems through understanding, exploiting and sharing multidisciplinary science and engineering in materials science, chemistry, mechanics, electronics, bioengineering, biology and other emerging engineering. We develop and apply multi-dimension electronic materials to provide the bio and environmentally friendly devices for early diagnosis of safety issue in daily life to contribute toward these ultimate goals.

Our vision...

We live in 4D spaces (3D Geometry with Time Space)! We can manipulate the wide range of properties of materials by controlling the materials dimension and its time dependent characteristic. We are seeking the materials design to customize the materials dimension, geometry, morphology and structure from 0D to 4D and tune the degradation, transformation, transition, and sustainability. All aspect of experience in materials design, fabrication and prototype demonstration reveal the leadership in convergent research era.

Our research...

We in the Multi-Dimensional Materials (MDM) Lab focus on materials development for Bio, Environment, and Safety Technologies (BEST) including 1. Biodegradable and minimum-invasive implants offering quick, safe medical treatment at complex levels of surgical care, and reducing the need for surgery, 2. Environmental friendly and waste-free green electronic providing efficient energy harvesting system and bio/eco-compatible resources with zero waste stream, 3. Safety and reliability of devices and structure suggesting convergent prediction and monitoring method to preventing the industrial accident.
