About Khalil Moussi Khalil Moussi Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Electrical and Computer Engineering biomedical devices bioengineering MEMS With over 8 years of experience in academic research, corporate R&D, and innovation consulting, I operate at the intersection of biomedical device engineering and technology consulting. My core technical work is in miniaturized drug-delivery systems — microneedles, MEMS micropumps, and implantable/catheter-based devices. At KAUST, I'm currently working on two postdoctoral projects: a second-generation microneedle balloon catheter (a dual-channel conical design for circumferential endovascular drug delivery, building on my earlier single-channel version), and an ultra-flexible magneto-elastic diaphragm for low-power actuation applications. This work is protected under two patent families — first-named inventor on a granted US/WO microneedle balloon catheter patent, co-inventor on a separate granted US patent for a miniaturized drug-delivery system — and recognized with a Gold Medal and WIPO Prize at the 2024 Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions. I've authored 5 peer-reviewed journal papers (2 as cover articles) and 12 conference papers. On the applied side, I've also worked in innovation and digital-transformation consulting — for Orange Innovation Tunisia (Sofrecom Tunisia) and for Tunisian manufacturers through the Sfax Industry 4.0 Center.

Extensive work has been done to optimize drug efficacy via localized delivery and dosage control providing new ways for accomplishing targeted therapeutic effects. However, many challenges and opportunities for advancement remain. One promising research path is introducing novel microfabrication methods or engineering discoveries in concept realization, making devices more versatile and effective.
