Design, synthesis and characterization of conjugated organic materials for printed electronics applications.

During this dual internship, I will be involved in the PIONEER project (PhotoactIve OrgaNic polymErs for watER treatment). It has been demonstrated that through light irradiation, BTI (benzothioxanthene imide) in water generates hydroxyl radicals (OH•), with their recombination product being hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Hydrogen peroxide serves an antifouling function due to its compatibility with living […]

Co-designing a physical activity behavior change toolkit to promote effective rheumatoid arthritis self-management

In rheumatoid arthritis care, patients face long waits and frequent appointments. Using a patient-initiated follow-up model can help patients avoid unnecessary appointments and reduce wait times, but this only works if patients have enough support to manage their disease. Physical activity is essential for managing RA, but many people with RA do not have enough […]

Electrotactile Tongue Display for Force Feedback during Robotic Teleoperation

This project, a collaborative effort between TU Munich and the University of Calgary, aims to use an innovative electrotactile tongue display system for robotic teleoperation in surgery. In robotic-assisted surgeries, surgeons lack the direct ‘touch’ feedback that traditional surgery offers, often leading to a reliance on visual cues for force application. This gap can affect […]
