The Electronics and Natural Sciences Research Lab (ENSRL) is home to Prof. Campbell’s research in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Boise State University. Prof. Campbell enjoys applying electrical engineering solutions to biocentrically themed topics and systems through the integration of semiconductor technology, microelectronics, machine learning and signal processing. All of our research involves microfabrication of semiconductor-based devices to create and engineer new technologies in a diverse set of areas, ranging from neuromorphic computing, PFAS chemical sensing, and as selector devices that can be used to access electronic-based memory cells using light. Please email Dr. Campbell if you have questions or are interested in more information about her research: kriscampbell ‘at’ boisestate.edu.
Highlight: Currently Active Research Area!
For the past two years, Dr. Campbell’s students have been creating (in the Idaho Microfabrication Laboratory) novel semiconductor devices capable of detecting Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Tests performed using prototype devices based on this new device technology (patent pending) have been used to successfully detect PFOA in real-time!
