Rafael V. Davalos received his B.S. in mechanical
engineering from Cornell University, Ithaca, NY
in 1994 and M.S. in mechanical engineering in
1995 from the University of California, Berkeley.
He completed his Ph.D. in bioengineering from
the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the
University of California, Berkeley in 2002.
He is currently a Senior Member of the Technical
Staff in the Microsystems Division at Sandia National
Laboratories, Livermore, CA. His main research
interests lie in feedback control mechanisms for
molecular medicine, medical imaging, in vivo and
in vitro cell electrical manipulation, BioMEMS
and Microsystems.
