Introduction
Khalil Moussi received the B.S. degree in electromechanical engineering with excellence and the M.S. degree in Robotics from the National Engineering School of Sfax (ENIS), Tunisia, in 2013 and 2014,
respectively. His master project was on the energy harvesting using magnetostrictive/piezoelectric materials. the project led to the publication of a conference paper entitled "Analytical Model of Magnetostrictive/Piezoelectric laminate Composites" in 2014.
He is currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). His research is focused on the design and fabrication of an implantable MEMS devices for drug delivery.

Bellows membranes are essential elements in many actuator devices. Currently, the size, shape, and dimensions of bellows membranes are limited by the fabrication process constraints. Miniaturizing the bellows membranes is a prerequisite for the development of integrated systems with novel capabilities as needed, for example, in advanced biomedical...
A miniaturized drug delivery system suitable for in-vivo biomedical applications is presented. The system consists of an electrolytic pump driving a micro bellows membrane as an actuator for delivery through
microneedles. A two-photon polymerization 3D printing technique was used to fabricate a reservoir equipped with microneedles. Analytical chara...
Microneedles (MNs) are playing an increasingly important role in biomedical applications, where minimally invasive methods are being developed that require imperceptible tissue penetration and drug delivery. To improve the integration of MNs in microelectromechanical devices, a high‐resolution 3D printing technique is implemented. A reservoir with...
A high‐resolution 3D printing technique is used to create a delivery platform with microneedles and reservoir in a single fabrication step, which enables customization of shape, dimensions, needle count, volume etc. The platform is biocompatible and its capabilities are evaluated by penetration and delivery into different layers of mouse skin. Furt...
A miniaturized 3D printed drug delivery device powered wirelessly is presented. The device is composed of an electrochemical micropump, a 3D printed reservoir with microneedles, and a wireless powering unit. The electrochemical pump features an expandable (up to 300%) Parylene C microbellows membrane fabricated by mold casting, using a twophoton po...
A smart scheduling system designed for a single-machine manufacturing shop is presented. Using a 3D printer as a case study, the system integrates two predictive models: the first to predict the 3D printer's energy consumption based on job parameters and the second to predict solar energy production based on weather forecasts. With the user's abili...
Balloon Catheter
In article number 2100037, Khalil Moussi and colleagues propose a novel concept for endovascular drug delivery using 3D printed microneedles on a balloon catheter. This solution provides site-specific delivery of therapeutics into the blood vessels. The precise and targeted delivery features were confirmed with an ex vivo test on a...
Precision farming has the potential to increase global food production capacity whilst minimizing traditional inputs. However, the adoption and impact of precision farming are contingent on the availability of sensors that can discern the state of crops, while not interfering with their growth. Electrical impedance spectroscopy offers an avenue for...
Disorders of the inner parts of blood vessels have been significant triggers of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Different interventional methods have been employed, from complex surgeries to balloon angioplasty techniques to open the narrowed blood vessels. However, CVDs continue to be the lead cause of death in the world. Delivering a therapeutic...
In-vitro transfection of cells by electroporation is a widely used approach in cell biology and medicine. The transfection method is highly dependent on the cell culture's electrical resistance, which is strongly determined by differences in the membranes, but also on the morphology of the electrodes. Microneedle (MN)-based electrodes have been use...
Directing the fate of human mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (hMSCs) toward bone formation using mechanical strain is a promising approach in regenerative medicine related to bone diseases. Numerous studies have evaluated the effects of vibration or cyclic tensile strain on MSCs towards developing a mechanically-based method for stimulating different...

This paper presents an impedimetric biosensor for monitoring of crops using novel microneedle electrodes for minimally invasive, sensitive measurements, compatible with smart agriculture developments. The biosensor was fabricated through polydimethylsiloxane imprinting using a high-resolution 3D printed negative mold. This method allows for fabrica...
We present a rapid fabrication technique of hollow tapered microneedles using a two-photon polymerization 3D printing technology. This technique offers tailoring of the microneedle within a wide range of shapes and sizes. Three different microneedles with tip heights of 50 µm, 200 µm, and 1000 µm were fabricated. The microneedles feature a tapered...
In the past few decades, extensive researches have been conducted on magnetoelectric (ME) effect especially in composite materials. Based on ME effect, vibration energy is converted into electric energy. Using Terfenol-D and PZT materials, magnetic field is transformed into electric power. However, magnetic, mechanical and electric effects appear w...
