Students can describe the bioelectronic systems containing sensors, actuators, and interconnection in especially in-vitro and implantable applications for neuronal and other biological control systems.
Students can describe the design (innovation) process and principles for neuromuscular and other implantable devices and in-vitro electronics for electric control of muscles in-vivo or neural networks in cell culture
Students can works as a multidiciplinary team for development of medical devices
