Phantoms with tunable chambers mimicking microvasculature and hemodynamic optical phenomena
The student will work on creating prototypes of silicone phantoms containing an inclusion chamber(s) with microfluidics to mimic localized hemodynamic changes. Each phantom will be designed to test diverse hemodynamic phenomenon for different NIRS modalities, e.g., fNIRS, TD-NIROT.
Our motivation at BORL is to save preterm infants' lives by developing new non-invasive sensing technologies. Our current projects aim to non-invasively measure the oxygenation state of tissues and the brain oxygenation state in preterm infants using in-house designed optical systems. To test such optical systems, silicone and liquid phantoms are employed.
Solid phantoms simulate tissues but cannot imitate hemodynamics. Liquid phantoms allow to mimic changes in oxygenation states, but still don’t simulate local and differentiable hemodynamic fluctuations.

The goal is to create phantoms with controllable optical properties inclusions.
