معرفی
Lia Stanciu is Professor of Materials Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University, serving as Interim Head of the School of Materials Engineering. She holds additional appointments in Global Engineering Programs and directs the Nanobioengineering Laboratory. Dr. Stanciu earned her Ph.D. in Materials Engineering from UC Davis in 2003, followed by postdoctoral research at Baylor College of Medicine before joining Purdue in 2005 where she progressed from Assistant to Associate and Full Professor.
Her research focuses on interdisciplinary nanobioengineering with emphasis on:
- Chemical/biological sensing platforms for food safety and medical diagnostics
- Nanomanufacturing of inkjet-printed biosensors and roll-to-roll fabricated devices
- 2D materials (MXenes, TMDs) for gas/VOC detection
- Biologically inspired materials synthesis and biointerface engineering
- Battery ceramics and bioresorbable metals for medical implants
Publication analysis reveals strong focus on aptamer-based detection systems (70%), nanomaterial-enabled sensors (60%), point-of-care diagnostics (50%), with emerging work in machine learning for sensor data interpretation and flexible/wearable platforms. Research applications span food safety, environmental monitoring, and medical diagnostics.
Dr. Stanciu teaches undergraduate and graduate courses including MSE 527 (Introduction to Biomaterials), MSE 335 (Materials Characterization Laboratory), MSE 367 (Materials Processing Laboratory), and MSE 430/440 (Senior Design). She currently advises six graduate students in her research group.
