Prof. Dr. Isaac Macwan

Dr. Macwan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at Fairfield University. He received his MS (Electrical Engineering) and PhD (Computer Science and Engineering) from the University of Bridgeport in 2008 and 2014, respectively. He received his Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering from the University of Pune (India) in 2005. He is a member of BMES, MRS, IEEE and ASEE. He is interested in developing bioelectronic devices and under-standing the interactions at the interface of biological macro-molecules and nanoparticles. He studies the stability and energetics of proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids through molecular dynamics to solve the problems in biomedical engineering such as inhibition of cellular communications in case of tumor cells and enzymes and understanding the nature of interface between biological molecules and carbon-based nanoparticles. He has published over 20 articles in peer-reviewed journals and given over 40 presentations at the national, regional and local conferences.
