The Bioelectronics & Microsystems Laboratory contributes to undergraduate and graduate education through courses spanning semiconductor devices, electromagnetics, bioelectronics, bioenergy systems, nanoscale biointerfaces, and independent study opportunities.
This is an undergraduate junior/senior-level core course for EE (Electrical Engineering) students. The course covers basic theory of semiconductors, p-n junctions, bipolar junction transistors, and MOS field-effect devices.
This is an undergraduate junior/senior-level core course for EE (Electrical Engineering) students. The course covers fundamentals of electromagnetic fields, Maxwell’s equations, plane waves and reflections, and applications to transmission lines, antennas, propagation, electromagnetic interference, electronics packaging, and wireless communication.
This is an undergraduate senior/graduate-level course. The course covers chemical sensors, bio-analytical systems, and biosensors, including examples such as COVID-19 sensing, with special emphasis on different transduction technologies. BioMEMS and Bioelectronics emerges from the convergence of engineering and biology and has the potential to significantly impact healthcare, medicine, homeland security, forensics, and protection of the environment and food supply.
This is an undergraduate senior/graduate-level course. The course provides an overview of renewable energy and fuel generated from biologically derived materials. In particular, it focuses on innovative systems for bioelectricity, biofuel, biorefinery, and environmental applications.
This course covers aspects of biomolecular function and interfaces with synthetic nanomaterials to explore devices and systems that are unprecedented in nature. Students learn principles for the design of biological nanosystems and develop the ability to critically address engineering issues surrounding nanosensors, nanorobots, and nanodevices.
These courses are designed to allow students to work individually with a faculty member on a project or topic of mutual interest.
