(b) Close-up view of the shank of a two-contact NC probe, with the gold traces and electrode contacts visible.In August 2010, Dr. Capadona began a tenure track appointment in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Case Western Reserve University. Dr. Capadona has co-authored 3 patents, 2 book chapters, over 100 scientific abstracts and over 40 peer reviewed scientific manuscripts, including one in Science and another that received the cover of Nature Nanotechnology.  His research articles have been cited over 3700 times. Dr. Capadona’s recent awards include: Crain's 40 Under 40 (2015), the Case School of Engineering Faculty Research Award, multiple graduate student mentoring awards, and the 2011 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE).
