Novel sensor for frequency-domain near-infrared spectroscopy
In this versatile project, a novel NIRS sensor will be designed, build, and tested. The sensor will be designed with CAD and manufactured employing optical elements such as glass fibres, prisms and a casing made of silicone. A 3D printer is of use to construct casting moulds and sensor inserts. We w
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) allows determining tissue oxygenation in humans non-invasively using near-infrared light. In our biomedical optics research laboratory (BORL), we have recently upgraded a top-notch frequency-domain NIRS device to employ 4 detectors instead of the common single detector. Consequently, we need new sensors to match this new setting and we are looking for a curious, ambitious student to build such a sensor. Our lab is well equipped with a 3D printer and a silicone fabrication facility. We have experience in prototyping, mould design, silicone casting and the handling of glass fibres. This new sensor would allow investigating human tissue oxygenation in more detail, effectively extending our field of research on human physiology and health!
