Dr. Shih’s research interest lies in combining her science and engineering background with biology to create unconventional, low-cost biomedical devices to serve a wider population that otherwise have little or no access to the conventional facilities. The following are examples of her research areas:

  • Piezoelectric Plate Sensor (PEPS)
  • Piezoelectric Finger (PEF)
  • Aqueous Quantum Dots (AQDs) Molecular Probe
  • Instant Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (iAST)
