Congratulations to Joseph Potkay, PhD who will receive a VA Rehabilitation Research and Development Merit award titled Automated Control of Artificial Lung Systems to Meet Patient Metabolic Needs. This is a 3-year, $900K project that will develop and evaluate the first smart artificial lung control system that can automatically respond to the changing respiratory and metabolic needs of the patient. The smart controller will be integrated into various artificial lung life support systems to improve patient activity and comfort and may improve outcomes for the many Veterans suffering from lung disease.
Dr. Potkay also received a 2-year, $1.7M subaward from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence's Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) titled Advanced Microscale Collector-Injector (µCOIN) that started in August. As Co-Principal Investigator, Dr. Potkay's team will develop a microfabricated passive chemical collection and injection system that will serve as a low power front end for a battery powered, autonomous and small forensic quality chemical identification system. The system is being developed by SRI International and developed for the IARPA Molecular Analyzer for Efficient Gas-phase Low-power INterrogation (MAEGLIN) Phase 2 program. This system has medically-related applications, particularly for workplace/environmental monitoring for exposure to volatile organic chemical (VOCs) and for detecting disease.
