Dr. Steckl joined the University of Cincinnati in 1988 as Ohio Eminent Scholar and Gieringer Professor of Solid State Microelectronics in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. At Cincinnati, Dr. Steckl established the Nanoelectronics Laboratory. Current research in the NanoLab is focused on: (1) biosensors; (2) microfluidic lab-on-chip devices; (3) electrospinning of complex nanofibers and related membranes for chem/bio/med applications.

To date, Dr. Steckl has educated 50 Ph. D. students, 10 M.S. students and has supervised 13 post-doctoral fellows. Together with his students, he has published ~ 450 papers, which have received ~ 16,000 citations to date. This has resulted in a current citation h-index of 69 (including patent citations). Prof. Steckl has also obtained 28 patents on various electronic materials and devices (with 5 patents issued in 2015-16 time period). He has been awarded ~ $21M in research funding at UC from a variety of sources, including federal agencies, State of Ohio agencies and industry.
