Form of workOur lab aims to develop next generation ingestible and implantable devices to support diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of chronic diseases. The work is part of larger collaborations with external groups from MIT.
We are seeking a cooperative (co-op) education student, full-time, in the Traverso Lab at the Brigham and Women's Hospital with a background in electrical engineering, circuit design, and controller development. The student will contribute towards developing a multicomponent ingestible and implantable systems for providing electroceutical stimulation and biosensing. Primary responsibilities will include the design wireless sensing technologies including ingestible and implantable antennae, transmitter/receiver systems, and RF circuit, device fabrication and assembly device prototypes, and assisting with in vivo testing in small and large animals.
The candidate should be enrolled in a B.S. program or equivalent in electrical and computer engineering. An ideal candidate will have research experience in the field, As well as hands-on experience with device fabrication, and is interested in learning from other disciplines as needed. Candidates with relevant experience in any of the following areas are encouraged to apply
Wireless power and communications circuit development
Flexible and wearable electronics
Programming skills: python, C/C , MATLAB
Candidate must have self-motivation and willingness to learn new tools and techniques; strong organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills; ability to work independently and as part of a team; comfort summarizing and reporting results to interdisciplinary researchers; commitment to exceeding standards and producing accurate, high-quality work; meticulous attention to detail; practiced documentation skills; and ability to follow safety procedures and maintain a safe work environment. Students are expected to work closely with a postdoctoral fellow.
