Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Terry Howell's research focuses on the detection and control of foodborne pathogens and microbial contamination. His work has investigated the antimicrobial efficacy of gaseous chlorine dioxide for inactivating Salmonella and Enterococcus faecium on dried basil leaves. Howell has also explored advanced biosensing technologies for rapid pathogen identification, including portable broadband dielectric impedance immunosensors for E. coli detection and palm-size wireless piezoelectric immune-biosensing systems for E. coli O157:H7. More recently, his research has incorporated deep learning for automated coherent-light diffraction systems to achieve high-speed and accurate strain-specific foodborne bacterial recognition. Howell collaborates with several faculty members at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Jeyamkondan Subbiah and Ziyu Liu.
