Ingestible Capsule System for Gastrointestinal Sensing
Mentor: Justin Stine, Ph.D.
Ingestible capsules are compact, low-power systems capable of diverse functionality, including sensing, drug delivery, and targeted sampling within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Developing systems for real-time monitoring and autonomous operation are critical for GI diagnostics and localized intervention. In this project, students will work with Dr. Stine at the SMART Building to develop electrochemical gas sensors and sensor interfaces for ingestible capsules. In addition, the student would assist with constructing a high-precision gas-testing setup to evaluate sensors on the benchtop.
Summer projects may continue into Fall 2025 semester on a part-time basis.
