Nanoparticle-modified field-effect sensors for biomarker detection KU Leuven
Immunologically-sensitive field-effect devices (ImmunoFEDs) represent a highly challenging research topic to develop miniaturized immunosensors and immunochips for label-free electrical detection of biomarkers. Usually, an ImmunoFED is constructed by modification of the gate surface with recognition elements (e.g., antibodies) for specific biomarkers (antigens). Since FEDs are surface charge-sensitive devices, and because antibodies and ...
INnovative Network for Training in ToUch InteracTIVE Interfaces KU Leuven
INTUITIVE will train a generation of early stage researcher (ESR) in ground breaking scientific and technological
approaches in haptics. They will develop novel soft biomorphic tactile skin based on flexible electronics, miniaturized soft
sensors, and a powerful new understanding of tactile information processing in humans - intrinsically shaped through the
interaction with the environment, and aimed to advance robotics and ...
High resolution Miniature Implantable nerve Stimulator for Electroceutical Research (HiMISER) KU Leuven
In my ERC project ‘µThalys’, we are researching future concepts for electronic medical implants. The main idea is to replace current medical implants that typically consist of a titanium casing with electronics and a few lead wires with less intrusive, softer, tissue-like implants. These future generation implants consist of soft, modular, miniature transducer nodes that can act stand-alone, or be connected in a network, thus forming e.g. an ...
Energy landscaping of thin-film image sensor devices KU Leuven
Title: Energy landscaping of thin-film image sensor devices Supervisor: Paul Heremans Brief description of the proposed dissertation research: The purpose of this PhD is to obtain full description of the electronic band structure (including band alignment) of the thin-film layer stacks for photodiodes. These thin-film materials are deposited from either solution process (polymers, metal-oxides, or quantum dots) or by evaporation (organic ...
Aerosol-assisted deposition of metal-organic frameworks for gas-sensing devices KU Leuven
Micro-Technologies and Heterogeneous ADvanced Platforms for Implantable Medical Systems. KU Leuven
The μTHALYS project aims to create a technology platform that enables a next revolution by bringing microsystem technology to the next level in terms of integration, miniaturization and multifunctionality and applying this development to address pending needs in health care.
Several breakthrough materials, basic concepts and fabrication techniques will be developed based on silicon or going far beyond silicon: At the wafer scale ...
