NSF CAREER Proposal What is an NSF CAREER proposal? Is it the same as the regular NSF proposals?

NSF CAREER Proposal A roadmap

NSF CAREER Proposal A roadmap Where am I now? Where do I want to go? Which path to take?

NSF CAREER Proposal A roadmap Who am I and where am I now? What is my long-term CAREER goal? How to reach my goal?

My Long Term CARER Goal Become a leader in the optical sensing area.

Who Am I? Education Training M.S., Ph.D., Electrical and Computer Engineering Virginia Tech. Certificate, Future Professoriate, Virginia Tech. B.S., Electrical and Computer Engineering, Zhongshan University, Guangzhou, China. Training Combination of expertise in electrical engineering, optics, and sensor technology.

Research Activities in VT Biosensors “an oligonucleotide functionalized fiber probe with a miniature protrusion for label-free DNA sequence detection” won Paul E. Torgerson Research Excellence Award (2006) from Virginia Tech (VT). Sensors for harsh environment applications successfully verified near the fan of a turbine engine 6 VT invention disclosures; 1 licensed to a company (Prime Photonics) for commercialization.

Research Activities in UML Biosensors Massachusetts Life Science Center (MLSC) New Investigator Research Award Optical fiber tip blood pressure sensor Sponsored by UMass Commercial Ventures and Intellectual Property (CVIP) 1 provisional patent Optical temperature sensor an NSF collaborative grant Miniature optical acoustic sensors using MEMS technology Sponsored by Army Research Lab (ARL) 1 US patent

PressureWire® (St. Jude Medical)** Blood Pressure Sensor Photo of the a blood pressure sensor inserted in a guidewire. Initial market thrust: angioplasty $8 billion/year. Broad applications: pressure measurements in lung, brain, intestines and other areas. PCT International Application for filling in the US receiving office, Application No. PCT/US10/40460 (29 June 2010) Comparison with current pressure sensor The pressure sensor in the left anterior descending coronary artery UML Sensor PressureWire® (St. Jude Medical)** Optical Electrical Immune to EMI Susceptible to EMI Biocompatible material Electrical wires inside the patient body ~ $50 ~ $600 ** http://www.radi.se/home.aspx?n=8&m=6&s=8&r=1

Blood Pressure Sensor Fractional flow reserve (FFR) Pressure decreased from 50 mmHg to 45 mmHg, caused by complete occlusion of coronary vessel Plaque: Pa/Pd = 0.7 No plaque: Pa/Pd = 1 Blast event measurement (Fast response) Add the helmet picture to better understand the applications. Done. Blast wave response comparison. The rise time of our sensor is 0.4 μs. The reference sensor is 12 μs. Rise time of our sensor is 0.4 μs Rise time of the reference sensor is 12 μs

Relationship between CAREER goal and prior funding support? CAREER topic?

CAREER Proposal Topic Principle Application and Marketing Novel Mechanism for Generation and Receiving of Ultrasound on a Single Fiber Using Nanoparticles. CAREER Proposal Topic Principle The ultrasonic wave is steered by the phased array technique. Application and Marketing Comparison with current ultrasonic transducer Optical Electrical Miniature Size? 125 µm diameter Millimeter size Safety to patients for in-vivo applications? Yes. Biocompatible material. Depends on packaging. Electrical wires inside the patient body. Work in strong electromagnetic environments? Yes. Immune to EMI. No. Susceptible to EMI High Temperature Survivability? Up to 600 ºC No. Higher frequency? >30MHz <10MHz Higher freq.? Done. Phased array? Coronary intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for coronary artery disease diagnosis

Intellectual Merits 1) This proposal will be the first attempt to explore nanoparticles for photoacoustic generation in an ultrasound probe, which is expected to enhance the ultrasound generation efficiency. 2) The outcome of this research will open up a new avenue for research on integration of ultrasound generation and receiving on a single optical fiber tip. 3) The research will be the first attempt to optically steer the direction of ultrasound generated in an optical fiber which could allow fast 360-degree cross section view and defect detection in any angle.

Relationship between CAREER goal and prior funding support
