Congratulations Henry!

Really happy to have been invited to be part of a panel of exceptional speakers and have the opportunity to present our work on bioimpedance wearable sensing at the 2021 IEEE EMBC Mini-Symposium on Recent Advances in Wearable Device Detection and Machine Learning for Biomechanics.

We are very excited for Elaine to join our lab! She will be exploring different aspects of machine learning applied to neuromuscular disorders.

Rik Pintelon was born in Gent, Belgium, on December 4, 1959. He received a master’s degree in electrical engineering in 1982, a PhD in engineering in 1988, at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussels, Belgium. Over the course of his long career, Pintelon was coauthor of 4 books on System Identification and published more than 260 articles and gave countless lectures. He received numerous awards in recognition of his contributions, including the 2012 IEEE Joseph F. Keithley Award in Instrumentation and Measurement (IEEE Technical Field Award).

He received the 2008 IOP outstanding paper award (best paper in Measurement Science & Technology), the 2014 Martin Black prize (best paper in Physiological Measurement), the 2014 Andy Chi award (best paper in IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement), the 2020 Silver Medal for being the second most published author of all time in the IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, and several honorary positions.

As a scientist, Pintelon was best known for many studies related to system identification, signal processing, and measurement techniques. He developed and provided important theoretical insights for building mathematical models of dynamic systems from experimental data. A man of honesty and positive energy, Pintelon touched the lives of his many colleagues and students, including myself. Thank you Rik for being my mentor, you were a source of inspiration. Today is a sad day for me.

Rest in peace.

Congratulations to Henry Crandall for being awarded with the 2021 Achievement Rewards for College Scientists PhD Fellowship by the College of Engineering!

On Monday 4/26 we will be presenting the UTA technology to the Head and Neck Surgery Division at the University of Utah. This novel intraoperative real-time electrical impedance sensing technology has the potential to provide an accurate, rapid, and efficient method for gauging the contrast between the electrical properties of healthy tissue and oral squamous cell carcinomas located in the tongue.

We are very excited for Ye Zhou to join the lab! She will be developing a new IoT device for measuring the tongue. Welcome Ye! We are also very excited for Gia-Bao Ha to join our lab Fall 2021! He will be exploring different aspects of multisensor data fusion for noninvasive, continuous stress monitoring. Welcome Gia-Bao!

My lab has openings for graduate research scholars. I am looking for a highly motivated students for leveraging advanced electromagnetics approaches to design and develop the new generation of smarter wearable sensors that provide medically accurate data. The ideal candidate will be a recent and motivated undergraduate in Electrical Engineering or Biomedical Engineering with strong academic records. The candidate will be expected to develop state-of-the-art wearable technologies to sense, perceive and control biological systems in unison with a talented group of researchers at the University of Utah. This work will contribute to the development of novel electromagnetic technologies to create innovative and impactful solutions. Send us an email if interested!

The Office of Undergraduate Research provides undergraduate students the opportunity to have a 10-week research experience and gain research experience in health diagnostics. The deadline to submit an application is is January 31, 2021. More information click here!
