Courses

Materials science for bioengineers

The course presents materials science and engineering from the perspective of biological applications. Lectures provide solid fundamentals on the design, fabrication, and characterization of materials. Exercises provide instructive examples on how to implement biomaterials in biomedical research.

Neuroengineering of vision

This course aims at providing the key knowledge and skills needed by professional bioengineers working in the field of vision restoration with neuroprostheses. During the course the students will work on a project related to the development of a visual prosthesis.
