Careers
Research Associate
Graduated from: Krieger School of Arts and Sciences
Degree: PhD
Dr. Mauk, a Hopkins alum who graduated from the master’s in Biotechnology program, provides an overview of his current research interests in biosensors, microfluids and “lab on a chip” technologies. Rapid technological advances in the field of biosensors are allowing this technology to cater to an extensive range of applications including medical and bio-defense applications.
Michael G. Mauk is a Research Associate in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania. His current research interests include microfluidics (‘lab on a chip’) for medical diagnostics, biosensors, energy conversion devices, and optoelectronics. Dr. Mauk has Bachelor of Engineering degrees in Chemical Engineering and Electrical Engineering, and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Delaware, as well as an M.S. in Biotechnology from Johns Hopkins. From 1986 to 1988 he was a Researcher at the Interuniversity Microelectronics Center in Leuven, Belgium. From 1989 to 2003 he was a Research Engineer at AstroPower, Inc. in Newark, Delaware. From 1994, he has been an Adjunct Professor of Materials Science and a Lecturer in Electrical Engineering at the University of Delaware. Dr. Mauk has been the Principal Investigator on numerous Research and Development Projects sponsored by NSF, DARPA, the Air Force, Navy, and Army, NIST, and DOE. He has ten U.S. Patents.
This Spring (2006) Dr. Mauk will be teaching a new course on Microfludics and Biosensors designed for Biotechnology students. The class will held on alternate Saturdays at the Homewood campus. Interested students are invited to contact Dr. Mauk at mgmauk@yahoo.com for more information.
