This course will explain how to utilize (a) microstructured surfaces and (b) microelectronic device surfaces as functional interfaces in biomedical instrumentation. The interface between biomaterials and microelectronics is one of the modern frontiers in science. The clash of ionic and electronic conduction mechanisms and the issue of biocompatibility are challenges for biomedical signal recording and processing. An overview over functional biomedical interfaces and their applications in biomedical instrumentation will be given.
Micro- & nanofabrication methods and materials involved, direct biomedical-interfacing with microstructured surfaces, direct biomedical-interfacing with microelectronic devices, biomedical interfacing with microelectrodes - bioimpedance spectroscopy, biomedical interfacing with field effect devices - ISFET; EOSFET, neuronal Interface, biomedical application of operation amplifiers.
The theoretical know-how gained during the lecture (5 lectures a 2 hr) will be deepend by a 1-day practical lab exercise. Due to the intensive interaction with students in 2016 only 5 Groups a 3 students will be available.
Lectures EVERY FRIDAY at 11:00-13:00
Lecture block: October - end November In 2016 starts on Fr. 21. October 2016 (first lecture)
Lab exercise: 1-day lab exercise in groups a 3 persons one day / student in December - January exact dates on individual appointment (will be organized during lecture block)
1) Participation in the practical lab course (incl. final exam)2) Oral exam - Registration for stated dates via TISS.Additional exam dates maybe arranged upon request - Contact silvia.pflug@tuwien.ac.at
Due to limited ressources in WS2016/17 this exclusive course is limited to 15 students.Biomedical Engineering (BME) students will be given priority over Medical Informatics (MI) students, as this course ins compulsory for BME while its an elective for MI.We thank for your understanding.
