Flexible Electronic Systems and Embedded Epidermal Devices
Flexible Electronic Devices incorporate polymers and other flexible or strechable materials, to create wearable and conformable devices. These system are often composed of various flexible, bendable or small ridgid active and passive components, such as electrodes, transducers, energy storage units up to transistors and complete ICs. This allows for comfortable wear, while the integration of digital electronic components enables the devices to perform a wide range of functions, such as continuous monitoring and modulation of physiological signals or the communication with other devices.
However, there are several challenges coming along with the development of these devices concerning material aspects. These are not only the material properties per se (e.g., flexiblity, stretchability or biocompatiblity) but also advanced and specialized fabrication techniques, reliability issues due to mechanical stresses and interface issues. Our research focus is on the integration and interconnection of digital circuits on flexible strechbale substrates and in even closer proximity to the human body.

Projects
All projects are annotated with one or more possible project types (M/S/B/G) and a number of students (1 to 3).
- M: Master's thesis: 26 weeks full-time (6 months) for one student only
- S: Semester project: 14 weeks half-time (1 semester lecture period) or 7 weeks full-time for 1-3 students
- B: Bachelor's thesis: 14 weeks half-time (1 semester lecture period) for one student only
- G: Group project: 14 weeks part-time (1 semester lecture period) for 2-3 students
Usually, these are merely suggestions from our side; proposals can often be reformulated to fit students' needs.
Available Projects
