He is a specialist in Interventional Radiology, which uses imaging to deliver catheters, stents, and the like
into tubular structures such as blood vessels, the urinary system, and the respiratory system; these methods were previously used on humans, but Dr. Weisse is developing them for pets.
Now, researchers have found a way to harness this property to create
tubular structures of diphenylalanine that have the ability to convert thermal energy
into electrical energy, also called a pyroelectric effect.
