Professional Summary
Dr. Hoilett is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. He graduated from Purdue University in 2021 with a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering and from Vanderbilt University in 2014 with a Bachelor of Engineering also in Biomedical Engineering. His academic interests involve developing wearable sensors for mobile health platforms and creating engaging engineering design activities for undergraduate and graduate students. He has several years of experience with analog circuit design and embedded systems. His previous work includes developing a wearable opioid overdose monitor for substance use disorder patients and developing an impedance analyzer for a microfluidic blood-brain barrier model among other projects. On the education side, he has designed several lab activities for first-year and junior level Biomedical Engineering students. He was instrumental in developing the Milestones Program at Purdue, a certificate-granting series of workshops providing students with professional engineering skills utilized in rapid prototyping and industrial applications. At the University of Cincinnati, Dr. Hoilett’s lab will continue developing low-cost diagnostics and sensors for improving patient care in high-resource and low-resource settings, tackling healthcare disparities and unmet clinical needs worldwide.
