Optics / Imaging / Electronics / Devices Lab

This hands-on, project based lab course teaches the fundamentals in a variety of disciplines (electronics, mechanics, optics, microfluidics, computer control, rapid prototyping) and will enable students to build and automate a wide range of bio-related experimental setups. The course is aimed at our bioengineering undergraduate and graduate students, but is open to students from other disciplines. Students interested in rotating or joining our lab are particularly encouraged to take this course. Jointly taught with Prof. Stephen Quake. 

Winter term  Tue, Thu 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Biophysics of Multi-cellular Systems and Amorphous Computers

This course introduces mathematical and physical modeling approaches for understanding the emergent logic and physical behavior of multi-cellular biological systems with particular relevance to developmental biologists and tissue engineers – as well as to everyone who enjoys to think about amorphous computing. Students who are interested in biological pattern formation and are considering rotating or joining our lab are particularly encouraged to take this course. Students may be graduates or advanced undergraduate in any disciplines.
