The integration of advanced materials and micro/nanoscale structures is revolutionizing bioelectronic interfaces, enabling unprecedented capabilities in sensing, actuation, and communication with biological systems. This presentation explores a multi-faceted approach toward developing next-generation implantable and bio-interfacing technologies.
Biocompatible polymers are investigated for their potential in implantable applications, with a particular focus on high-impedance electrode materials that ensure both effective signal transduction and long-term physiological integration.
In parallel, silicon nitride (SiN) photonic waveguides operating in the visible spectrum are engineered and functionalized for optically-driven bio-electronic applications, offering enhanced sensitivity and compatibility with fluorescence-based modalities.
CMOS-compatible materials undergo targeted post-processing to retain biocompatibility while enabling seamless integration with biological environments, bridging the gap between microelectronics and biology.
On the nanoscale, nanofluidic systems—including nanochannels and nanopores on Si and glass—are developed for single-molecule detection and proteomic analysis, expanding the analytical capabilities from simple counting to detailed protheomic profiling.
Together, these innovations lay the groundwork for a new class of hybrid bio-electronic systems with applications in diagnostics, therapeutics, and neural interfacing.
