معرفی
John F. Currie is a Professor of Physics at Georgetown University, where he leads research in health microsystems and device physics. He holds a B.Sc. from the University of Toronto and a Ph.D. from Cornell University, with postdoctoral training at MIT. His work focuses on transdermal biosensors, thin-film materials, and solid-state technologies for medical applications. Currie has supervised over 30 Ph.D./M.Sc. students and pioneered DARPA-funded projects developing non-invasive biomonitoring devices. His lab employs advanced fabrication techniques like sputtering and electrochemical deposition, supported by SEM/TEM/AFM characterization. Collaborations extend to defense and industrial sectors, with patents on drug delivery systems and wireless monitoring devices. Current projects aim to expand quantitative measurement of biomolecules in living tissues for disease detection and management.
