JMI Professor Awarded a Patent for Revolutionary Device Ensuring Material Purity

Professor Khan, from the Department of Electrical Engineering, JMI, and his dedicated team have received this prestigious patent from the Government of India for their groundbreaking invention. This device, which can analyse materials in solid, fluid, and powder forms, promises to be a transformative tool in the healthcare industry.

This patent marks Professor Khan’s sixth in healthcare innovation, further establishing his reputation as a leading figure in the field. The newly patented device uses advanced acoustic resonance technology to identify and characterise materials. It works by inducing vibrations in the material using a V-shaped solid quartz strip with piezoelectric transducers, capturing the acoustic signals generated, and analyzing them through a machine-learning model. This approach provides a simpler, more cost-effective, and safer alternative to traditional methods like chromatography and laser emission, which often involve complex equipment and the risk of harmful radiation exposure.

JMI’s Officiating Vice Chancellor, Professor Mohammad Shakeel, congratulated Professor Khan and his team, expressing pride in their achievement and wishing them continued success. The team behind this breakthrough includes Dr. Kashif I. K. Sherwani, Dr. Md Qaiser Reza, Dr. Shaila P. S. M. A. Sirdeshmukh, and Dr. Ashok Kumar Salhan from the Department of Electrical Engineering, JMI. Dr. Salhan has also served as Scientist G at the Defence Institute of Physiology and Sciences (DIPAS), DRDO.

This patent is not only a significant academic accomplishment but also a major step forward for the healthcare industry, which increasingly relies on innovations like Professor Khan’s to drive personalized medical solutions. The device’s ability to analyse materials without requiring sample preparation or exposure to harmful radiation makes it especially valuable in clinical settings where precision and safety are critical.

Professor Khan’s previous patents highlight his significant contributions to healthcare technology, including innovations in wound healing, therapeutic devices for posture and balance, force measurement systems for masticatory muscles, and a portable cotton ball plucking device. Each invention has played a crucial role in advancing medical technology with potential for widespread application and commercialisation.

This latest patent strengthens JMI’s intellectual property portfolio and positions the university at the forefront of healthcare innovation. The institution looks forward to collaborating with industries to bring these technologies to market, ensuring that Professor Khan’s inventions contribute to improved healthcare outcomes on a global scale.
