Senseer uses self-aware sensing devices to greatly improve a pediatric condition, hydrocephalus, that causes excessive fluid in the brain.

[5] She also co-founded the Polymer Implantable Electrode (PIE) Foundry, which is funded by the NIH BRAIN Initiative.

This Foundry is dedicated to developing polymer microelectrode arrays (MEA) for chronic animal experiments that provide a new technological approach for neural recording and stimulation.

Her research has culminated in a number of outstanding achievements, including in 2015 the Orange County Engineering Council Distinguished Engineering Merit Award, in 2014 3rd Place student paper award at IEEE EMBS Conference, best paper at the 15th International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators, and Microsystems (Transducers 2009), and best paper in 2006 at Micro Total Analysis Systems Conference.

She was named Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 2016[8] for contributions to biomedical microelectromechanical systems.
