This $385,755 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) is supporting research to develop a non-invasive, wearable sensor capable of precisely measuring internal body temperature, with a focus on monitoring brain temperature during cardiac surgeries.

The key objectives of the project are to: 1) improve the spatial resolution of internal body temperature measurements using near-field microwave radiometry techniques, 2) design specialized receiver hardware, near-field antennas, and signal processing algorithms to implement the new measurement approach, and 3) investigate an alternative active, low-power technique for internal temperature sensing based on the temperature-dependent tissue permittivity. If successful, this research could significantly reduce mortality rates and cognitive impairment risks for patients undergoing aortic dissection repair procedures, with potential for broader applications in monitoring conditions like sepsis and heat stroke. The award period runs from May 2025 through April 2028 and does not include any planned sub-awards.
