In this 3-credit graduate-level course, we will explore the principles of designing computing devices and systems that can be implanted inside or attached to the human body for the purpose of sensing, collecting, and processing various physiological and neurophysiological signals to facilitate proactive health monitoring and disease treating. In addition to improve the state of health cares, these bio-computing devices will also have tremendous impact in our daily lives by fundamentally changing the way we implement authentication, surveillance, position tracking, and many other applications that make use of our biological traits or interact with our biological systems. The goals of this course are to help increase the awareness and understanding of both state-of-the-art designs and futuristic research and to stimulate the interest and develop the basis of being a world-class researcher and a professional engineer in this exciting field where the next-generation computing is heading.
All-levels of graduate and advanced undergraduate (juniors and seniors) students are welcome.
Time: Tuesdays & Thursdays 2:30PM - 3:45PM
Location: 423 Benedum Hall
This course is developed to train you to become a world-class researcher and
professional. The goal is to help you develop critical and independent thinking
required for a successful career. Therefore, besides intensive literature reading,
you will have the opportunity to improve your skills in presentations and literature
critiques. You will have the opportunity to participate in scholarly discussion
in a conference-like setting. To increase your hands-on experience, you will
also have the opportunity to work on a term project that you will be proud of
at your job interview. There is one open-book, open-note, open-ended exam towards
the end of the semester to help you gauge your level of understanding.
