Teams at Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Conduct transdisciplinary research to develop autonomous, non-surgical sub-cellular brain implants. Apply knowledge from applied physics, nanoelectronics, materials science, or bioengineering, learn neurotechnology and biology, and contribute to device development and translation toward clinical applications.

Hands-on role performing in vitro neural recordings from cultured neurons (patch clamp, MEA, calcium imaging), neuron culture, electrical modeling (Hodgkin-Huxley), and data analysis. Contribute to studies of neuromodulation and neural plasticity and collaborate on experimental design and interpretation.

Design, simulate, fabricate and characterize micro/nano neural electrodes and interfaces using cleanroom facilities. Perform electrochemical characterization (CV, EIS, voltage transients), failure/degradation testing, and explore biomedical implant applications. Support in vitro/in vivo recording and stimulation assessments and electrophysiology data analysis.
