(Bio)Materials for Sensing, Diagnostics, and Actuation

Research Goals

Develop materials that:

• Have dynamic properties
• Self-heal and regenerate
• Are resilient and robust
• Self-replicate
• Can be recycled or reabsorbed
• Harvest, transduce and store energy

On-going Project

Fabrication of a three-terminal neuromorphic material test bed

The objective of the project to construct a three-terminal AC-field test bed to enable the development, characterization, and modeling of artificial magnetic synapses—capable of emulating the brain’s plasticity—for brain-like computing, learning, and signal processing.
