Feb 9, 2026 • By Catherine Meyers

UMBC researchers led by Mehdi Kiani, a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, are at the frontiers of these changes. They recently teamed up with colleagues at New York Institute of Technology and Pennsylvania State University to develop a system that combines state-of-the-art, millimeter-sized medical implants, computational models, and machine learning to better monitor and treat stomach disorders.
