Real-Time Integrated ORBGRAND-Based Transceiver (RIOT)
Mentors Project Description With the rapid advancements in high-speed computing and digital signal processing for the Internet of Things (IoT), the volume of data transmitted and received across multiple devices has increased exponentially. However, received data is often susceptible to corruption due to noise, necessitating the use of efficient decoding techniques to mitigate its effects […]
Designing a Soft Bioinspired Grasper for Underwater Manipulation
Mentors Project Description The Morphable Biorobotics Lab at Boston University is developing a bioinspired soft underwater gripper for grasping delicate marine samples. This technology is key to ensuring adaptability in unpredictable environments without inflicting damage to the sample, the environment or the robot itself. This REU project aims to design a soft gripper that encloses […]
Advancing Early Alzheimer’s Detection with Biosensing
Mentors Project Description Our research lab, in Boston University Photonics Center’s Business Innovation Center, is focused on the development of new diagnostic tests to support personalized therapeutic strategies for patients suffering from neurological conditions. Given the increasingly decentralized nature of healthcare and clinical trials, there is a need for easy-to-use, cost-effective remote monitoring tools in […]
