Biography
Vladimir Pozdin is an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Florida International University, with a secondary appointment in the Department of Mechanical & Materials Engineering.
His research focuses on health-monitoring sensors for humans, animals and microphysiological systems. Trained as a materials scientist with expertise in organic semiconducting materials, Pozdin developed health-monitoring systems during my postdoctoral work with the NSF ERC for ASSIST and expanded into microphysiological platforms for biological sensing.
His experience includes cell culture and instrumented microphysiological systems as alternatives to human-subject experiments, microfluidic models of vascular networks, and studies of hypoxia and blood-brain barrier interactions.
At FIU, his lab advances enabling materials for flexible devices, including a polymeric circuit-board architecture that delivers ultra-thin, on-body sensing circuits used for wound health and cognition assessment. We also investigate biodegradable sensors, hybrid electronics, and ultra-thin hermetic coatings.
