Project aims and objectives:
Dr. Debarun Sengupta is leading two projects under this program:
Building India’s Own Living Brain-on-a-Chip Platform: Soft & Transparent 3D MEAs for Neurotoxicity and Disease Modelling (PI: Prof. Debarun Sengupta) along with HCLTech ERS.
Scalable laser-induced graphene (LIG) based electrochemical sensor integrated wearables for vaginal health monitoring (PI: Prof. Debarun Sengupta and Prof. Anurag Agrawal), along with Koita Center for Digital Health at Ashoka.
Soft Piezocapacitive Sensors
Soft Piezocapacitive Sensors
Harnessing interfacial polarization phenomenon for developing highly sensitive and flexible piezocapacitive soft sensors for human motion monitoring.
Funding Agency: DST under the INSPIRE Faculty program
Funding amount: INR 35 Lakhs
Funding Period: 2025-2030
Project aims and objectives: Under this project, we are developing a new class of nanomaterials doped lattice-based soft piezocapacitive sensors (abbreviation: NDLSPCS) for next-generation wearable devices tailored towards human motion monitoring.
Wearable Seismorespirators
Wearable Seismorespirators
LIG-based Wearable Seismorespirators for emulating clinical respiratory examination.
Funding Agency: Koita Centre for Digital Health at Ashoka
Funding amount: INR 34 Lakhs
Funding Period: 2025-2027
Project aims and objectives: Under this project, we propose to develop Seismorespirators, integrated devices capable of inertial, vibroacoustic and stretch sensing to replicate the clinical aspects of respiratory examination. We have developed novel laser-induced graphene (LIG) based soft and stretchable sensors for breath monitoring, which form one of the core components of this work.
As a new P.I., I am constantly looking for new candidates. Currently, I have the following opportunities in my lab:
Junior Research Fellow/Research Assistant: For this position, I am seeking an individual with a knack for wearables and sensors to join as a JRF/Research Assistant in my lab at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence Deemed to be University, Delhi-NCR. I am highly motivated to work with a JRF in exploring auxetic structures-based 3D printed sensors for wearable healthcare applications. This is a DST-funded project, and the goal of the project is to develop a new class of nanomaterials doped lattice-based soft piezocapacitive sensors for next-generation wearable devices tailored towards human motion monitoring.
Funded PhD positions (2): I am actively looking for two candidates with a knack for flexible electronics, wearables and 3D-printed sensors to join my lab at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence Deemed to be University Delhi-NCR. I have two fully funded PhD positions and a temporary Research Assistant position. For the PhD position, the selected candidate would be primarily working in the emerging areas of wearable electronics exploring 3D-printed sensors for wearable healthcare applications. For the research assistant position, the candidate will be involved in exploring the emerging areas of 3D-printed next-generation Organ-on-a-chip (OoC) technology for disease modelling.
Postdocs: I have two funded postdoc positions currently. People with a background in MEMS and Flexible electronics can contact us for further details on the role.
Research Assistant with a possibility for PhD enrolment: The successful candidate will join us in an ongoing international collaborative research project on the Brain-on-a-chip theme. Upon successful evaluation at the end of 6 months, there is a possibility of a fully funded PhD position (subject to the university's PhD admission process). Interested/eligible candidates are encouraged to apply by filling up their details in the application link (https://forms.gle/z34nHxWo5Rgeanrq7 ) and uploading their latest resume along with a cover letter explicitly stating their suitability and motivation for the advertised position. Interested candidates are required to apply for the position using the following link: https://snu.edu.in/careers/staff/applications-are-invited-for-a-temporary-position-of-research-assistant/
The scanned copies of all the required documents must be uploaded in the Google form: https://lnkd.in/eK6AVvse on or before 31st December 2024. Incomplete applications and applications without the above-mentioned documents will be rejected. Only shortlisted candidates will be informed by email for online interview. For any specific queries, an email may be sent to the PI at debarun.sengupta@snu.edu.in.
