Bioelectronic materials

Developing electronic systems that seamlessly integrate with biological systems represents a pivotal foundation for building a smart healthcare platform, advanced clinical technology, and beyond. This course will explore: 1) electronic materials, mechanisms, and designs at the biotic-abiotic interface, 2) their impacts for a wide range of applications from medicine, robotics, to human augmentation, and 3) the associated ethics. It will also highlight a multifaceted understanding of materials and their integration strategies that improve functionalities (sensing, stimulation, or others) of fabricated devices, and innovate the ways electronics interact with biological counterparts. We will utilize BeAM makerspace for implementing our hands-on activities.
