Dr. Richard Fair is working with other researchers from Duke University and University of California (Riverside) to develop an inexpensive field diagnostic to detect active malaria infection in a remote field setting where little electricity or medical expertise is available. The diagnostic tool uses microfluidics, nanotechnology, and genomics to diagnose the type and drug resistance of malaria parasites in humans.
Dr. Fair is a Fellow of the IEEE and a Fellow of the Electrochemical Society. He has served as Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices (1990-1993) and is past Editor-In-Chief of the Proceedings of the IEEE (1993-2000). He received the IEEE Third Millennium Medal in 2000, and the 2003 Solid State Science and Technology Award from the Electrochemical Society. His nano-related research interests include
- Droplet-based microfluidics
- Biomedical applications of microfluidics
- Semiconductor devices and processing
- Semiconductor process modeling
Awards
- "Outstanding Young Electrical Engineer of the Year" Award, 1974 -National Award from Eta Kappa Nu.
- Fellow Award, IEEE, 1990 Fellow Award, Electrochemical Society, 1994
- Professor James F. Gibbons Achievement Award, 4th International Conference on Advanced Thermal Processing, 1996
