Dr Saad Bhamla is an Assistant Professor at Georgia Tech’s School of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering. His interdisciplinary research in the physics of living systems uncovers the principles underlying ultrafast movements in biology and informs the design of bioinspired robotics. He is also at the vanguard of the emerging field of frugal science, to develop affordable and accessible tools for global health.

 

Frugal Science: From paper centrifuges to hearing aids to vaccine delivery patches

Dr Saad Bhamla, Georgia Tech

Thursday 1st of February | 13.00 - 14.00 | C0.02 IAS Seminar Room

In this talk, I will share our philosophy of frugal science, on building accessible and affordable tools for global health. I will discuss three examples of devices that all cost less than a cup of coffee (<$1). I will share how we designed a paper centrifuge for malaria diagnostics inspired by a children’s toy, a hearing aid built by open electronics for presbycusis, and finally, a nucleic acid vaccine delivery device inspired by a BBQ-lighter. Toward the end, I will share some comments on translating these devices for field studies in human users as well as through startups for commercialization.
