Biography
Professor Mannoor鈥檚 research interests focuses on the integration of biological sciences
with electronics and mechanical engineering concepts. This interdisciplinary research
builds up on Dr. Mannoor鈥檚 highly interdisciplinary academic training bridging across
the fields of Electronics & Communications Engineering Biomedical Engineering and
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Dr. Mannoor鈥檚 research work in the areas of
bionic organs and nanobionic sensors has been highlighted by major scientific journals
such as Science, Nature and Nature Nanotechnology and popular media outlets, including
being featured as 鈥渁n innovation that will change your tomorrow鈥� by New York Times
Magazine and one of the inventions in The CNN 10: Inventions. His research has led
to publications in major journals, significant patent applications and numerous presentations
and invited talks. Dr. Mannoor鈥檚 research was also recognized by a number of awards,
most prominently, the Material Research Society (MRS) Gold Award (2012) for outstanding
graduate research and the Emerging Alumni Scholars Award (2013) by Princeton University
鈥渇or the excellence of his dissertation work and the merits of his distinguished career
at Princeton鈥�. Dr. Mannoor鈥檚 teaching efforts has also been recognized by the Luigi
Crocco Award for Teaching Excellence for the undergraduate instruction (MAE 306, Mathematics
in Engineering) at Princeton. Dr. Mannoor worked as a Research Assistant at the Microelectronics
Research Center, class 10 clean room facility at NJIT from 2006-2008 and as a Principal
Research Engineer at Rational Affinity Devices LLC, a New Jersey based bio-tech Company
from 2007-2009, where he conducted research for the development of Aptamer based nano-gap
dielectric sensors for biosensing applications.
