Wireless Microdevices​
​
The major goal of this initiative is to develop the next generation of brain stimulation devices for understanding and treating mental health illnesses and brain disorders. This project seeks to develop chronic ultra-small microdevices which are minimally-invasive, wireless, battery-less, and injectable. These devices are distributed across the brain to form a wireless network system for precise neural modulation.

Differential Tissue Coupled Powering for Thread-like Injectable Neural Technology (TINY)​
​
We are developing "TINY" devices that are wirelessly powered using the DTCP scheme, which delivers mid-frequency differential potentials through tissue from a compact wearable transmitter. DTCP thus overcomes key limitations of conventional wireless powering and provides a scalable, alignment-robust strategy for minimally invasive electroceutical therapies.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation​
​
This project seeks to develop a radically new brain stimulation technique based on temporal interference of two high-frequency sinusoidal magnetic fields.

Micro-magnetic stimulation​
​
The goal of this project is to develop efficient micro-magnetic stimulation probes that could potentially replace conventional electrode-based stimulation devices for chronic applications.
