B.E.S.T. Research Group is committed to making meaningful advancements in science and engineering, all while pushing the boundaries of our understanding of the biological world. We maintain an inclusive and collaborative environment, empowering our team members to grow and innovate as they drive our collective mission forward. As a dedicated, ambitious team of researchers and engineers hailing from diverse backgrounds, B.E.S.T. is committed to the following research areas:
Bioelectric Engineering
B.E.S.T. focuses on the development and implementation of Organic Electrochemical Transistors (OECTs), which are essential components of our research toolkit. We are looking for inventive methods to link organic elements with biological systems, enabling ranging from real-time biosensing to soft robotic system control.Biomaterial
Leveraging the innate properties of biological substances, we develop new biomaterials with unique applications in areas such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, and personalized treatments. Our focus encompasses both porous bio-materials and conducting polymers to enhance the versatility and performance of these materials across a range of medical applications.Neuromorphic Engineering
Inspired by the processing capabilities of the human brain, our neuromorphic research aims to create artificial systems that can mimic neuronal functions and processing methods. This research area is driven by the potential societal benefits of advanced machine learning and more efficient artificial intelligence systems.· Keithley (Series 2400, 2636)
