Seeking Solutions
Monday, October 3, 2011
J.-C. Chiao takes a practical approach to research. When
doctors tell him they have a problem, he figures out a solution. This mindset
has resulted in several inventions that could aid millions of people suffering
from cancer and other diseases. He and his team have developed a sensor implant
that helps patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease, a closed-loop implant
system that inhibits pain, and a miniature gastrostimulator to treat
gastroparesis in people battling diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Add to the list
his project to develop a device to predict prostate cancer metastasis, and it’s
easy to see why the Jenkins Garrett Professor of Electrical Engineering
continues to win prestigious awards.
Last year Dr. Chiao became UT Arlington’s first recipient of the O’Donnell Award in Engineering from The Academy of Medicine, Engineering and Science of Texas. He also was named a 2011 Tech Titan by the Metroplex Technology Business Council. “UT Arlington is not just a top-tier institute for scientific discoveries,” he says, “but also a university full of synergy between research and commercialization.”
