Undergraduate/Masters Student
Ultrasound imaging and therapeutic laboratory (BME department) tends to hire an undergraduate/Masters student with the following background.
Required Background:
• Electromagnetic concepts
• Electric circuits design and test (especially: Power regulators, current
rectifiers, comparators, RC circuits,…)
• Logic design
• Familiarity with microcontrollers
Projects:
• Design and build a specific strong magnetic pulser with controllable pulse width and pulse repetition rate. (We have the general design ideas but we need to modify and prototype it).
• Design and build a motion gating system for live animal imaging. It
will be an electrical control unit that uses the animal heart beat and respiratory
signal to generate a control trigger signal for our imaging system at the proper
time (Least motion). The project also includes the design of the respiratory
motion gating i.e. a simple pressure sensor. Heart beat signals are available
through a commercial ECG pad.
Work Hours:
Flexible (10 hours per week or more).
Start time:
As soon as possible (Not later than beginning of the spring 2009 semester).Contact:
