This theme will build on initial work carried out in the group building on promising work carried out with a current PhD student on tumour and cancer detection that has generated some promising results. The work will expand this initial research to design of complete smart antenna systems that will target next generation of medical diagnostics for different tumour and cancer detection procedures as well as applications such as deep brain simulation. Collaborations have already been established with nuerologists at Kings College in London as well as Edinburgh Medical School. As this project is similar to the previous project however, targeting different applications and devices with different requirements, it will have similar components to the previous theme with different design specs. These are as follows:
- Design of new ultra low power MEMS/NEMS switches
- Design of antenna systems
- Design of low power firmware and embedded software
