Neural Engineering Related Work:
Bio-computing and implantable computing system for sensing, monitoring, and transmitting neurophysiological information.

Research Description:
Engineering bio-computing system by co-designging hardware and software that serves as the "brain", or the central control of various neural sensors and actuators. The vision is to develop the next-generation computing platform capable of performing in vivo diagnosis, therapeutic interventions, and functional replacement. Current research focuses on developing autonomously reconfigurable and energy-efficient implantable chip with longer life span and superior reliability.
