Project Wearable Self-Powered Sensors Program First Year Investigators Undergraduate Research Program Term 12-Month 2023 Status Closed Research Area Wearable sensors, nanotechnology, healthcare Description The participants will work with Professor Wu and his group to develop low-cost, wearable, self-powered sensors for hemodynamic monitoring. The participants will have the opportunity to research the integration of nanomaterials into wearable devices and engage in material research to improve sensor capabilities. The participants will also learn how to develop electrical circuitry for data collection, wireless transmission, and processing using machine learning. Supervisor Wenzhuo Wu Mentor Hettiarachchige D Perera Type of work required The student will execute the following tasks:
- Learn from the research literature.
- To fabricate sensors by microfabrication techniques.
- To characterize the electrical and mechanical properties of the sensors.
- To characterize the physical-chemical and structural properties of the sensors.
- To integrate the sensors for on-body wearable applications.
Websites Qualifications Engineering majors in biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, or related fields are desirable.
