ACOUSTO BIOELECTRONICS
Speaker: Dr. Albert Kim of Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Temple University
Power transfer, size, and form factor are three critical design factors for the next generation of implantable biomedical microdevices. Traditional powering methods such as batteries and inductive power transfer cannot satisfy conflicting requirements of deep penetration, omni-directionality, and small size required for many emerging applications. One promising approach is the use of ultrasound. Ultrasonic waves in the body offer superior energy-conversion efficiency at millimeter-scale dimensions, deeper penetration depth, and omnidirectionality as compared to the traditional inductive powering method. This makes ultrasound an attractive candidate for powering deep-seated implantable medical devices. In this talk, I will focus on the acousto-bioelectronics, a branch of electrical engineering that studies the use of ultrasonic waves in the biomedical microelectromechanical system (BioMEMS) and nanotechnology. In particular, I will elaborate on some of our recent works towards developing in situ generations of chemotherapy agents or light for cancer treatments.
