Biomedical Engineering
Faculty Mentor: Samuel Mabbott, Ph.D.
Meeting Times:
F 10:00 AM – 2 PM
Team Size:
3
Open Spots: 0
Special Opportunities:
The positions will provide students with the opportunity to gain research skills in both dry lab and wet lab environments, as well as the chance to be co-authors on publications and present their work at conferences.
Team Needs:
Hands-on in chemistry experiments, data analysis using Python, etc.
Description:
This project aims to develop an automated synthesis system for the production of novel complex structure nanoparticles with enhanced reproducibility and longevity. These nanoparticles will be beneficial for biosensing applications, such as the detection of diseases.
The automated synthesis system will allow for the precise control of the synthesis conditions, resulting in the production of nanoparticles with consistent properties. The system will also be equipped with sensors and data acquisition systems, which will be used to monitor the synthesis process and collect data for analysis.
There are computational tools that will be developed and used in this project include machine learning algorithms and statistical analysis methods. These tools will be used to analyze the data collected from the synthesis process and to optimize the experimental design. They will also be used to develop models of the nanoparticle synthesis process.
The results of this project will have a significant impact on the field of biosensing. The development of an automated synthesis system for the production of novel complex structure nanoparticles will make it possible to produce these nanoparticles at scale and with high reproducibility. This will enable the development of new biosensing devices that are more sensitive and accurate than current devices.
