iBionicS Lab

iBionicS Lab’s vision is to introduce conceptually novel neural engineering methodologies to interface artificial systems with biological organisms towards the next generation bionic cyber-physical systems. Broadly, we perform research at the intersection of bioMEMS (micro-electro-mechanical-systems), microelectronics, biophysics, electrochemistry and robotics, and our research efforts focus on the development and use of implantable and wearable biomedical microsystems for various in vivo and in vitro applications at different biocomplexity levels. We are particularly interested in biophotonics based brain machine interfaces, physiological and behavioral sensing through body area networks, remote control of locomotion in insects, neuro-electronic interfaces with developing tissues and organisms.
