Rosemary Smith

Education

  • PhD Bioengineering, University of Utah, 1982

Research Interests

The theme of Professor Smith’s research is the application of interdisciplinary knowledge to solving measurement problems. Many of her current projects are related to the creation of new micro or nanofabricated devices for biomedical applications. Current projects include the fabrication, packaging and testing of both chemical and physical biomedical microsensors and technology development for analytical microinstruments.
