Brian DeHority
Research
Brian works with stent-based bioelectronic interfaces to more easily monitor biological signals from within the vasculature. As a result of the implantation procedure and scale of blood vessels, conventional power and data links are infeasible, necessitating the use of ultrasound as a means of powering and communicating with the implanted device. Brian has focused his research on these data-links, improving the speed and accuracy with which they communicate.
Brian is a PhD student in the Bioelectronics Lab and was born in Charlotte, North Carolina. He graduated from Cooper Union in 2021. While there, he worked for the Nanoelectronics and Sensors Laboratory at Clemson University, and for the Sinai Biodesign Lab at Mt Sinai Hospital. The summer before he began as a student under Dr. Shepard, he worked for the startup Quicksilver Biosciences, which was founded by Bioelectronics Lab graduates. Brian is the vice-president of Graduate Electrical Engineering at Columbia, the student board for improving the academic, professional, and social lives of EE grad students at Columbia.
