  Project: A cuff lead used to deliver drug or electrical stimuli to sciatic nerve. This cuff lead contains a self-curling head, fluid channels, catheter adaptor, suture holes, and catheters that lead to external electronic device. • Design, fabricate, and test the cuff lead. • Developed a parallel fabrication method which reduced fabrication duration by 95%. • Select bio-compatible materials (silicone rubber and plastic) for each component. • Assess the impact of design and material changes over fabrication and performance. • Improved reliability by replacing brittle agar gel with rubbery crosslinked sodium alginate. • Draft fabrication and implantation protocols and teach external collaborators. • Work with electrical engineer and veterinary surgeon to collect feedbacks and improve design.

  Project: In this lab, we are developing a novel neural implant that can safely deliver direct current (DC) to suppress neural activities.• Designed a microfluidic valve electrically actuated with Nitinol wire which consumes 50% less energy and provides 25x contrast ratio of valve’s impedance.• Designed an ionic transistor as a non-mechanical control of ion concentration in microfluidics which improves reliability by eliminating moving part in device.• Designed an ionic current sensor which enables accurate long-term measurement (<2% error) of electrical current in a complex microfluidic channel network.• Designed a microfluidic chip with embedded microvalves and sensor which was the first working prototype of the safe DC neural stimulator.• Developed an in vivo rat model which requires 90% less electrical current to test the neural stimulator.
