The University of Washington Bothell is inviting CSE undergraduates to apply to its 2018 NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program: Next‐Generation Health Monitoring Systems with Flexible Electronics, Novel Algorithms and Secure Communications.
This Summer Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) site, funded by NSF Division of EEC, focuses on advancing technologies for the development of reliable, low-cost and comfortable health monitoring devices having features such as delivering real‐time data over the internet for remote care and cloud processing.
Project Objectives:
• Develop research skills by conducting interdisciplinary, collaborative, cutting‐edge and accessible research
• Enhance communication skills by disseminating research results through oral and poster presentations
• Study advanced material in device fabrication, signal processing and data security
Research Topics:
• Fabrication of flexible microelectrode array (MEA) patches for bio‐potential recording
• Miniaturization of recording and communication circuits
• Filtering and classifying ECG signals
• Extraction of fetal ECG (fECG) from the mixed
fetal/maternal ECG (f/mECG)
• Secure Internet of Things (IoT) connected healthcare
• Machine learning‐based anomaly detection
Activities:
• Research work in device fabrications, signal processing or data security
• Workshops on professional development
• Short courses on MATLAB for signal processing and Introduction to cloud‐based visualization
• Preparation of posters, papers and presentations
• Seminar on graduate school preparation
Eligibility:
• U.S. citizens and permanent residents
• Electrical engineering, computer engineering/science, bioengineering or related disciplines with GPA≥3.00
• Sophomore, junior or senior with background courses in electronics, signals and systems, and programming
Application Process:
