About
Joshua Levy received his Bachelors degrees in Engineering Physics and Chemistry from Binghamton University in Spring 2020. His previous research studied the effects of processing conditions on the sintering of Ag nanoparticle-based electrical interconnects, specifically investigating microstructural changes using electron microscopy. He then joined the Materials Science & Engineering Department at the University of Maryland, College Park in the fall of 2020. His current research interests have transitioned to the domain of biomedical devices, where he is working on micro- and meso-scale actuation components for focused drug delivery from ingestible electronic devices.
