PhD Candidate
Mr. Kyle Hrubecky has joined our research team as a PhD Candidate. He will work on just-awarded NIH R01 grant, developing new zinc alloys for medical applications. Kyle worked with us in the past as undergraduate researcher, during his junior … Read More »NIH R01 Grant
The U.S. National Institute of Health has awarded us with R01 funding. Our laboratory has been working to refine the composition and microstructure of biodegradable Zn-based binary alloys and test their behavior in the vascular environment over the last four … Read More »Surface Effect on Biocompatibility
Our new paper entitled In Vitro Corrosion and in Vivo Response to Zinc Implants with Electropolished and Anodized Surfaces has been published in the ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces journal. Roger Guillory, PhD candidate, and Prof. Jeremy Goldman from Biomedical … Read More » |
Bioabsorbable Stents We search for new biodegradable alloys that could revolutionize cardiovascular stent industry. |
 |
Antibacterial Materials We invented new inexpensive antibacterial material and explore its potential applications in water filtration, food packaging, and many others. |
 |
RHX Ceramic Dating We study the rates of rehydration and rehydroxylation processes for fired clay-based ceramics as a tool for dating ceramic archeological artifacts. |
 |
Smart Surfaces We architecture nanostructures, nanotubes, and molecular layers to control wetting or other properties of surfaces. |
 |
Mineral and Materials Processing We have a long tradition of development and testing physical separation technologies for selective recovery of minerals from ores, plastics from waste, and cellulose fibers from wastepaper. |
