A Research Fellow position is currently available in the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering.
The Research Fellow will work on a project to conduct the research on development ingestible electronic/robotic platform capable of continuous monitoring and on-demand for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and to conduct the investigation on development of ingestible robotic system to enable continuous monitoring of disease relevant biomarkers and on-demand delivery of therapeutics in the gastrointestinal tract in a non-invasive and automated manner. Novel sensors and actuators and their encapsulation methods will be investigated.
Key Responsibilities:
- Development of sensors that are capable of operating in harsh environment, such as 100% humidity and pH ranging 1-4.
- Development of a reconfigurable robotic platform with ingestible form factor and capable of controlled gastrointestinal retention.
- Integration of power management circuit, actuators for motion control, and monitoring sensors.
Job Requirements:
- PhD in Mechanical, Electrical and Electronic Engineering or related field
- 4-year research experience in related area
- Expertise in large animal studies, such as swine and sheep
- Knowledge in interfacing circuit design for low power sensing and wireless communication
- Experiences in biosensors and actuators for biomedical applications are highly preferred
- Publication track record is preferred.
- Proficiency in basics of programming languages such as C, C++ and Python
- Proficiency in English as need to publish results
We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
