This project is focused on using advanced nanomaterial called graphene which is the thinnest material in the world. Ongoing projects include using graphene in the form of the tattoo on the skin to measure all the vital signs such as temperature, blood pressure, for human health monitoring. In addition, graphene is also being explored as a transparent electrical conductor to monitor plant health for the purpose of maximizing agricultural yield for sustainability. Another project is using graphene for bio-sensors for virus detection.
The suitable student will be a sophomore or junior with engineering or science background with a passion for technology. Training will be provided including materials science and electrical measurement training.
On average, about 10-15hrs/week is expected from the student to conduct research in the lab.
From now till 2024.
-Preparing graphene materials
-Integrating graphene on skin or other biological surfaces like plants
-Doing sensor or electrical measurements
-Write computer programs to automate measurements or processes
-Present results at conferences including out of state conferences. All expenses will be paid.
