Course Description
Are you interested in knowing:
-> How we can play tricks with the electrons and make them into useful devices that are revolutionizing the digital world around us?
-> How we can fuse such tiny nanoscale devices and other non-electronic nanotechnology with our body and brain to probe and therapeutically modulate our brain and body?
-> How to enhance nano-bio research using AI?
If yes, then this is the course for you! In this course you will learn about:
i> Nanotechnology and nanomedicine.
ii> Bio-electronic interfaces
iii> Data analysis and learning algorithms for nano sensors
iv> Artificial intelligence for nano-bio systems
This is a seminar-based course and as it aims to focus on cutting edge research, guest speakers will be invited according to the latest publications and developments in the field. Moreover, we will explore the usage of learning algorithms, starting from simple statistical methods for calibrating sensors to modern artificial intelligence in cutting-edge research with a detour to exploratory analysis.
Assignments: You will be reading papers related to the above topics and completing homework based on the topics covered.
Grading: Will be based on performance in class discussions as well as the homeworks. There is no final exam.
Prerequisites: None
