Research Interest

Dr. Slaughter·s interests are in the areas of sensor-processor integration to realize ultrafast and ultralow-power integrated signal processing hardware that covers biological systems, wireless network communications, bioelectronics design and theory, microprocessors and microcontrollers (embedded systems), enzyme-based biosensors, the design of implantable biosensors systems, static and dynamic cell-based biosensors, and the applications of artificial neural network (ANN) for pattern recognition of pharmacological agents or neurotoxins. Additional interest include chemical and biosensor devices based on redox-active and electroconductive polymers; thin film polymer films fabricated on metallic and semiconductor device; and AC impedance spectroscopy.
