Stephen SaddowS. E. Saddow is currently a Professor of electrical engineering and of molecular pharmacology and physiology in the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of South Florida (USF), Tampa. In 2009, he was jointly appointed in the USF College o Medicine to facilitate the development of 3C–SiC-based neuronal activation devices for insertion into the central nervous system. His group has demonstrated the biocompatibility of SiC and graphene to numerous cell lines in vitro and to the central nervous system of wild-type mice to 3C–SiC in vivo. He has more than 100 publications on SiC materials and devices and edited a book on SiC entitled Advances in Silicon Carbide Processing and Applications (2004). His research interests include the development of silicon carbide (SiC) thin films for high-field and high-power device applications. His most recent work has focused on the use of SiC for biomedical and MEMS applications.,Prof. Saddow is a Charter Member of the National Academy of Inventors. Read More Read Less
