Dr. Splinter built his career as a scientist and technology manager in biomedical engineering. His work is dedicated to resolving issues in device development, with a particular focus on medicine and biology through development of novel diagnostic techniques and treatment methods using all multidisciplinary aspects of engineering and applied physics. He cofounded several companies in biomedical engineering and worked for several established metrology and medical device companies. In addition, Dr. Splinter worked in clinical settings, prototyping, and validating devices using the full practical and theoretical knowledge of physics, engineering, electrical engineering, chemistry, and biology. He is an associate professor (Adj.) in the Department of Physics at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
