Founded in 2020 at Florida International University.

Pozdin Lab develops next-generation thin-film sensing technologies for health monitoring, with a focus on long-term, unobtrusive measurement and advanced AI-enabled data analysis. Our research aims to create robust sensing platforms that can operate reliably in real-world environments while extracting meaningful physiological information from complex data streams.

In parallel, we integrate sensing platforms into instrumented microphysiological systems to study physiological responses to external stimuli in cell culture models.Some of our sensors find their way onto pigs.  We are also actively working to get out sensors inside tortoises of South Florida.

By combining materials, devices, and data science, Pozdin Lab advances tools for translational health monitoring, in vitro biological studies, and intelligent sensing at the interface of engineering and medicine.

Pozdin Lab & AI-ReHaB @ MRS 2025

I spent some time with 2025 AI-ReHaB alumna, Kandice Mathews, at the 2025 MRS Fall Meeting in Boston. She presented her work on portable spectrometers, while I showed our progress on biodegradable circuit.
