Thesis title
Electronic Tattoo (e-Tattoo) Surface Electromyography (sEMG) Sensors
Research overview
A surface electromyography (sEMG) sensor is an electrochemical transducer to measure the bio-potentials using electrodes placed on the skin. Currently, long-term and multi-channel recording of the signals remains a challenge. A novel electrochemical sensor concept - electronic tattoo (e-tattoo) - enables intimate attachment to the skin and withstands mechanical deformations without degradation of the signal output. In my thesis, I will develop e-tattoo sEMG sensors to detect muscle fatigue during intensive physical exercise or prolonged sitting/standing in the workspace. The outcome of my research would enable digital healthcare technology in various applications such as sports sciences, robotics, and biomechanics.
