Project #3: A needle-tip Raman sensor for in vivo biopsy

Back

Description:

We have aimed to develop a Raman sensor using optical fiber that is embedded at the tip of a medical needle for the purpose of in vivo, real-time biopsy. A few prototypes have been developed. You will need to be part of the research team, to contribute to the improvement of the sensor, develop more algorithms for signal propcessing and pattern recognition via classification/clustering principles, and conduct more ex vivo experiments for data collection and validation of the algorithms.
You will be supervised by a research team..
