Jinjing Han Awarded the 2022-2023 ECE Distinguished Dissertation Award

MSAL graduate student Jinjing Han was selected as the recipient of the 2022-2023 ECE Distinguished Dissertation Award. His dissertation titled "Minimally Invasive Neurochemical Sensing System for ex vivo and in vivo Investigation of Serotonergic Modulation" utilizes advancements in nanomaterials, ICs, and additive manufacturing techniques to design and fabricate electrochemical sensing systems for neurotransmitter detection in varying conditions: (1) a portable system for 5-HT detection in body fluids, and (2) a wearable system for continuous in vivo DA and 5-HT monitoring.

Jinjing joined the University of Maryland, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in August 2017 to pursue his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and joined MSAL in the spring of 2019. His current research interests are in the development of an in vivo serotonin monitoring microsystem. (3 - May / 2023)
