Dr. Weiss’ current research interests include the multidisciplinary areas of
tissue engineering and MEMS-based chemical and biological sensors. In the
area of tissue engineering, Dr. Weiss applies inkjet deposition technologies
to create 2D and 3D engineered patterns of hormones and native extracellular
matrix materials in order to study biological patterning and to deliver these
patterns as clinically-relevant therapies. He also uses inkjet deposition to
manufacture chemical sensors by selectively depositing chemically sensitive
polymers with MEMS-based transducers. Dr. Weiss’ research involves collaborations
with faculty from The Robotics Institute, The Carnegie Institute of Technology,
and The Mellon College of Sciences.
Lee received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering in 1972 from The University of Pittsburgh,
M.S. in Bioengineering in 1976 from Carnegie Mellon University,
and Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 1984 from Carnegie Mellon University.
