Advanced Sensing & Devices Summer Intern
3
10 weeks
June 2 to Aug 8, 2024

As part of our team, you will have the opportunity to work on one of the following projects:

• AI/ML and Biosensor Development for Wound Healing Biomonitoring . An unmet need in wound care is a non-invasive quantitative readout of healing progression that can inform treatment for optimal healing. Recently, we have applied novel OCT imaging and sensing technologies to in vivo models and have made significant progress towards automated wound healing monitoring. Interns will have the opportunity to: (1) design and test biosensors to monitor wound healing progress, or (2) develop algorithms and AI/ML approaches to extract quantitative insights from in vivo imaging data.
• Multi-modal OCT Hardware for Advanced Sensing. Our optical sensing research includes 3D imaging modalities like OCT and LiDAR augmented with biochemical specificity with non-linear spectroscopy. This summer project will include: 1) building optical systems using pulsed and tunable laser sources, detectors, gratings, optical/electro-optical components, and fiber optics; 2) development of a data collection and signal processing SW pipeline; and 3) building and optimizing interferometric assemblies using mechanical alignment tools.
• Backscatter radio for wide-area networks. We are developing cutting-edge wireless communication technologies for next-generation IoT applications. We have built testbeds for evaluating the performance of IoT device communication, localization, and multiple access in challenging environments. This internship will focus on 1) design and simulation and 2) hardware prototyping of backscatter IoT systems. The aim is to improve the efficiency and reliability of backscatter communication in the following domains: RF front-ends, receiver algorithms, and network architecture.

Depending on the specific project, it would be nice if you had experience with:

• Biosensing, biomaterials, or synthetic/molecular biology
• Data analytics or machine learning with volumetric medical imaging (e.g., OCT, MRI, etc)
• Free-space and fiber-optic components, building microscopy or other advanced imaging systems, pulsed and tunable NIR lasers
• C++/Python/MATLAB for hardware interfacing and data processing
• Familiarity with optical simulations
• RF front-end and antenna prototyping
• Low-power receiver design, wireless communication algorithms for interference cancelation, channel estimation, and synchronization.
• Backscatter radio, RFID, IoT systems, OFDM systems
