John P. Seymour
Graduate_Student
I received a B.S. in Engineering Physics from the Ohio State University in 1996. Then I worked in industry for five years in healthcare product development. My previous experience included designing printed circuit boards, analog circuits, and testing for electromagnetic compatibility
My research interests: - Long-term sensing in vivo, particularly neural recording in the CNS
- Materials and techniques for improving biocompatibility
- Combination devices, such as passive drug delivery and biosensing
- Microfabrication of medical devices, i.e. BioMEMS
- Bioelectrical performance of polymer substrates (issues of microdelamination, water uptake, manufacturability, etc.)
My PhD thesis topic is "Advanced neural probe design for long-term sensing". So far, we have shown reduced encapsulation for a novel geometry of neural probes (Biomaterials, 2007). Fabricating these polymer devices for long-term functionality has a whole other set of issues, but we've made great progress by using new poly(para-xylylene) materials in collaboration with Joerg Lahann's group. Finally, I hope to integrate the new geometry and fabrication methods into a new design to be tested in vivo as soon as possible.

Kip Ludwig
Graduate_Student
Kip received his B.S. in Biocellular/Biomolecular/Biochemical Engineering at Arizona State University. A Whitaker Fellow at the University of Michigan, Kip completed his Masters in Bioelectric Engineering in 2005. Kip's work is currently focused on how electrode design parameters affect the information content of a recorded local field potential.
