Gregory T Roman
![]()
Research_Fellow
Greg is currently a postdoctoral research fellow in the Chemistry Department working under the direction of Dr. Robert Kennedy. Greg recently graduated from Kansas State University with a PhD in Chemistry where he specialized in microfluidic technologies for bioanalytical applications. Greg's current research revolves around developing micro-total analysis systems in conjunction with CNCT probes for neurochemical study. These devices aim at further elucidating neurochemical networks that are associated with behavior, addiction, and chronic pain.

Research_Fellow
Mohammadreza received his B.Sc. in mechanical engineering and M.Sc. in biomedical engineering from the Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran. He received his Ph.D. in biomedical engineering in February 2007 with a major in biomaterials. In his Ph.D. research, he designed and developed novel bioactive coating methods and drug delivery strategies using conducting polymer nanomaterials and polymer nanofibers for extending the long-term performance of neural microelectrodes. His article in Advanced Materials (Conducting polymer nanotubes for controlled drug release. (2006), Adv. Mater., 18 (4), 405-409) was selected for cover page of journal and was hilghlited as the most accessed articles in 2006. He is currently a postdoctoral research fellow in the biomedical engineering department working under the direction of Dr. Daryl Kipke.

Research_Fellow
Dr. Chris Bjornsson directs the Microscopy & Imaging Core within the Center for Biotechnology & Interdisciplinary Studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY. Chris received his Ph.D. in developmental cell biology in 2003 from the University of Manitoba. He taught histology at the Department of Zoology at the University of Manitoba, as well as at Albany Medical College. Dr. Bjornsson’s recent postdoctoral research with Dr. William Shain focused on characterizing and minimizing the brain’s reactive responses to neuroprosthetic devices, specifically the role of vascular damage in determining the extent of injury. Additionally, Dr. Bjornsson assisted in the development of multilabel immunohistochemistry and automated image analysis techniques to maximize the amount of information that can be derived from single tissue sections. This approach is an imprtant contribution for working with human deep brain stimulation (DBS) tissue.
