Building a 3-dimensional acoustic driven joystick.
3-dimensional manipulation is an exciting tool for life sciences. Trapped particles and object can levitate in 3-dimensional space in the present of an acoustic field. Since acoustic waves penetrate biological tissue this allows for non-contact manipulation inside the body.

In this project we would like to develop a novel acoustic manipulator that goes beyond current capabilities of a acoustic traps. A first setup has been designed and initial tests have been successfully conducted

The goal is now to improve the current setup and then characterize its oscillations and pressure field for particle trapping.
This project can include a selection of following tasks:
1. Design and build acoustic joystick
2. Characterize oscillations and pressure fields.
3. Calibrate of mechanical and electronic system for manipulation.
4. Manipulate objects in water.
We are looking forward to motivated students interested in a balanced project with a wide range of tasks. We have premium lab facilities at the IBM research campus in Zurich to conduct the project.
