Description

Motivation and application domain
Neuroengineering and Neurotechnologies with focus on neuromorphic devices

General objectives and main activities
The aim of this project is to synthetize and characterize PEDOT:PSS-based linear and rotary actuators, capable of high precision movement on the microscale. These devices offer all the advantages of micro positioning devices, along with high electrical conductivity and the possibility to operate in aqueous environments. The resulting material would lead to the prototyping of smart devices (neuromorphic devices, PLAs).

Training Objectives (technical/analytical tools, experimental methodologies)
Technology development, characterization of neuromorphic devices

Place(s) where the thesis work will be carried out: IIT, Lab of Tissue Electronics, CABHC@CRIB Napoli
