Who the lab is looking for
The lab takes undergraduate, MS and PhD students, and recruits research
engineers. The work is bench, hardware and instrumentation focused. A purely
computational background without hands on laboratory experience is unlikely to
fit, and it is fairer to say so here than after an interview.
Research assistant or research engineer, optical imaging for medical devices
Working on time gated diffuse correlation spectroscopy, speckle contrast optical
spectroscopy and microvascular blood flow quantification for neuroimaging.
Background sought. Electrical, biomedical or mechanical
engineering, or applied physics, with demonstrated skill in instrumentation and
hardware development.
Useful skills.
- Optical system integration and alignment
- Hardware control with NI DAQ or LabVIEW
- FPGA development
- MATLAB or Python for signal processing
FPGA driven optical brain imaging
Building a system that uses field programmable gate arrays and advanced single
photon sensors to monitor cerebral blood flow in patients with acute brain injury.
Experience preferred.
- Electronics and signal processing hardware
- Instrumentation and data acquisition
- Optical systems and imaging
- Programming and data analysis
Undergraduate and graduate research assistants
Several roles across noninvasive optical imaging for neuromonitoring, cancer
imaging and tissue engineering.
Background sought. Electrical, mechanical, biomedical or optical
engineering, or physics, with at least 1 area of depth in optical systems, hardware
control, signal processing, tissue optics or machine learning.
