Design Methodology

Design methodology refers to the structured framework used to plan, develop, and refine solutions to complex problems. It encompasses a series of steps, including identifying the problem, generating ideas, creating prototypes, testing, and iterating based on feedback. This approach often integrates interdisciplinary perspectives, ensuring that designs are innovative, efficient, and aligned with user needs and practical constraints. By emphasizing sustainability, scalability, and thorough documentation, design methodology ensures that solutions are not only effective but also...

Twstr: A Resonant, Matched MRI Coil without any Discrete Components

Thin, flexible, and nearly invisible MRI coils have the potential reduce the invasiveness of implantable coils, allow for multi-modalities to co-exist in an MR scanner, and generate coil arrays with extreme adaptability. As a result, this work strives to demonstrate a resonant, and matched MRI coil without the use of discrete components. Twstr coils are comprised of a single Twisted-Pair wire manipulated by twisting and cutting to generate a coil that is matched at its resonant frequency and nearly invisible due to the elimination of non-flexible components. The proposed structure...

Adaptive Intelligent Sensing Systems

Adaptive Intelligent Sensing Systems is an open scalable platform that seamlessly integrates an ever-increasing number of sensor, actuation, computation, storage, communication and energy nodes located on, in, or around the human body. A heterogeneous mesh of connected nodes (wireless or wired), will provide the capability for applications in neurobiology, brain-machine interfaces, and biomedical solutions, as well as wearables and distributed intelligent networked systems for human well being.

Next-G Connectivity

Next-G Connectivity research addresses the vision of future wireless communication systems that will ubiquitous and immersive connectivity between machines and machines, as well as humans and machines, enhancing existing capabilities, and enabling new applications. This will pave the way for truly distributed intelligent systems. The technologies developed will allow signicant of network capacity with heterogeneous radios high user densities and data throughput, low latency, and high reliability. The object for this research is to develop the key transformative technologies that will drive...
