Faculty and Staff
Stephen E. Saddow, PhD
Research Interests
Dr. Saddow's research at the nexus of material science and biomedical engineering works to improve existing biomedical devices by harnessing the properties of bio- and hemo-compatible silicon carbide (SiC) materials to allow for new and improved in-vivo medical devices. He is an expert in SiC CVD, characterization and device fabrication.
Biography
Dr. Saddow holds a Ph.D. from the University of Maryland-College Park and is currently a guest researcher in the Molecular Imaging Branch, National Cancer Institute (NIH) where he is applying SiC nanoparticles to treat deep-tissue cancer. Prior to joining USF he was a senior electronics engineering (GS-14) at the Army Research Laboratory working on mitigating the effects of directed-energy weapons.
Teaching
Dr. Saddow is an active member of the micro/nano, wami and biomedical systems tracks. He teaches but core and elective courses in all three areas with the more recent classes being Electromagnetic Field Theory, Semiconductor Devices, Bioelectronics and has taught graduate courses in Semiconductor Characterization, Wide Bandgap Semiconductors, Compound Semiconductors and Electronics I.
