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 internationally recognized in the field of Silicon Carbide (SiC) Biomedical Technology as one of the first scientists to demonstrate its biocompatibility and bio-versatility, and he has engineered more than a dozen related patented devices and technologies. This research led to a paradigm shift for in-vivo medical devices, as he proved SiC can replace silicon-based devices given its chemical resilience and bio/hemo-compatibility. He holds 15 patents and has published over 250 articles and books. He is a Fellow of the AIMBE, a Senior Member of IEEE and the National Academy of Inventors and was named IEEE Florida Engineering Educator of the Year. He 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.
