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
