Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Julie A. Stenken's research program focuses on the design and application of advanced microsampling devices, particularly for neuroscience and environmental studies. She has received funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke for a project focused on developing a portable microsampling backpack with an integrated sensing system, totaling $269,205. Her work involves the fabrication of these devices using 3D printing technologies, including multi-scale two-photon polymerization (2PP) and LCD printing, to create high-resolution, membrane-integrated microfluidic chips and customizable microsampling probes.

Stenken's publications demonstrate a range of applications for her developed technologies. These include their use in neuroscience for sampling, and in environmental science for quantifying nitrogen dynamics in soil. Furthermore, her lab investigates the attachment and optimization of bacterial biofilms, such as *Staphylococcus aureus*, *Staphylococcus epidermidis*, and *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*, to 3D printed lattices, indicating a focus on biomaterials and microbial interactions. She collaborates with other researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Patrick M. Pysz and Julia K. Hoskins, on shared publications.

With an h-index of 23 and over 1,785 citations across 80 publications, Stenken is recognized as a highly cited researcher. Her expertise spans microfluidics, 3D printing for biomedical applications, and neuroscience sampling techniques.
