keywords AUTOMATION, BIOREACTORS, CELLULAR AGRICULTURE, ELECTRICAL STIMULATION, SKELETAL MUSCLE, TISSUE ENGINEERING
Reference persons DIANA NADA CATERINA MASSAI
External reference persons Stefano Gabetti
Research Groups 28- biomedica
Thesis type CODING AND EXPERIMENTAL, EXPERIMENTAL AND MODELING
Description The thesis activity will be performed at the Laboratorio di Bioingegneria industriale of Politecnico di Torino, in the Bioreactor Division. The candidate will develop the electrical stimulation system by programming a microcontroller and building analog and digital electronic circuits. The system will be optimized based on the results of numerical simulations of electric fields and experimental measurements.
For further information send an email to both diana.massai@polito.it and stefano.gabetti@polito.it.
Required skills Microcontroller programming, electronics circuits, electrical field modelling. It is preferred but not compulsory a basic knowledge of bioreactors.
Notes An informative and a technical interview will be conducted to evaluate the candidate’s eligibility.
