Research: Sub-band-edge transport of mobile charge in ultra wide bandgap semiconductors, Advisor: Doug Yoder
Lab details: Computational Electronics and Photonics Lab
TIGs: Nanotechnology
Seeking: MS students, PhD Students, 1 positions
Application Due April 30, 2024 to doug.yoder@gatech.edu
Research keywords: semiconductors, wide bandgap,
Description:
Ultra wide bandgap (UWBG) materials hold tremendous potential for use in power amplification and high power switching applications because of their superlative electrical, thermal and mechanical properties. UWBG materials suffer disproportionately from high dopant ionization energies, however, resulting in free carrier concentrations which have historically been prohibitively small for meaningful device applications. Recent advances in materials synthesis have overcome this limitation, and record low Hall resistivity has been demonstrated for both p- and n-type epitaxial films. The charge transport occurs, however, by virtue of the emergence of impurity bands. The objective of this research is to develop theoretical models for n-type and p-type impurity bands themselves, and the transport of electrons and holes within them. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to work with an interdisciplinary team in a multi-university initiative.
Nature of the position: GRA
Necessary expertise: solid background in vector differential and integral calculus, partial and ordinary differential equations
Desirable expertise: prior undergraduate coursework in semiconductor materials and devices, C++ programming proficiency

Research: Animatronics in an interactive art exhibit (for COE, COC, and COD), Advisor: Mary Ann Weitnauer
Lab details: Electronic ARTrium
TIGs: Computer Systems and Software, Electronic Design & Applications
Seeking: Undergraduate Students, 1 positions
Application Due April 24, 2024 to mi6@gatech.edu
Research keywords: Microcontroller, servos, DC motors, C++, CAD, 3D printing
Description:
The Electronic ARTrium lab is building several robots as part of its upcoming human-sized video game with mechatronics. The game includes three animatronic narrators and some other mechatronic creatures and props. Camera-based computer vision captures player pose, which controls the mechatronics via the game engine Unity. Each narrator moves its mouth in lip sync with a recorded voice, while simultaneously moving all its joints to perform a specific gesture or making idle movements, so it seems alive. The animatronic projects have been started by senior capstone design teams and VIP students, but they need more work, including redesign of certain joints and parts, upgrading of motors, and programming of gestures. The most desirable candidate has experience with object-oriented programming, basic circuit design, mechanical CAD using SolidWorks or an equivalent tool, and control of servo and DC motors. The student may also help with set construction.

Seeking: Undergraduate Students, 3 positions
Application Due May 19, 2024 to kjohnsen@gatech.edu
Research keywords: frequency-analysis, neuroengineering
Description:

== Background ==
Neuroscientists can gain insight into how the brain works by manipulating it in precise ways. Optogenetics is a very popular, relatively new technology allowing the activation of neurons which can be genetically targeted. Typically, researchers have done this with “open-loop” control, delivering a pre-defined stimulus to the brain, but more sophisticated and precise is “closed-loop” control, which rather varies the stimulus in real time to achieve a desired neural activity pattern—much like cruise control accelerates the car as needed to reach a target speed.
Our lab has already applied basic methods from control theory to do real-time optogenetic control in mice, but there are plenty of potential extensions to this work. PhD student Kyle Johnsen is recruiting students for multiple projects that require varying skill levels in neuroscience, programming, control theory, and biomedical engineering. Below is a list of possibilities—if you are interested, reach out to Kyle (kjohnsen@gatech.edu) to discuss possibilities in more detail. A minimum 10 hrs/week commitment is expected. And at least for larger projects, candidates who can commit to more than 1 semester will be preferred.
== Potential projects ==
– Implementing factor-based SNNs in Brian/Cleo
– Recovering latent neural dynamics from simulated data by running (RNN-)PSID / IPSID
– Estimating oscillatory information in real time, for the purpose of closed-loop control, as in this paper.
– Extend the light propagation capabilities of the Cleo simulator. We especially would like to interpolate Monte Carlo simulation results for different beam types.
– Pioneer system identification methods in the spirit of PSID to identify natural vs. unnatural states to achieve “within-manifold control”
– Paving the way to implement performant code once and use in multiple contexts (e.g., Python, C# (Bonsai), MATLAB, C++), e.g., via embedded Julia or C++/SWIG
– Simulating the “crosstalk” of excitation light on opsins when doing fluorescent microscopy and optogenetics simultaneously (See Sridharan 2022 Fig 6)
– Integrating model-predictive control into ldsCtrlEst (following lqmpc as an example)
– Implementing a model of the CA3 region of the hippocampus (Kopsick et al.) in Brian and simulating closed-loop optogenetic experiments on it using Cleo.
– Adding calcium indicator or voltage indicator models to Cleo
== Potential skills required or to be learned ==
– General neuroscience, e.g., neurons, hippocampus, cell types, synapses
– Ability to extract relevant details from scientific publications
– Computational neuroscience: spiking neural network models
– Scientific Python coding, including source control (Git/GitHub), math (NumPy), and figure generation (matplotlib)
– High-performance software engineering
– Specific familiarity with Brian and Cleo Python packages
– Control theory: linear dynamical systems, model fitting, optimal control, etc.
– Ability to work efficiently as a team: communicating, dividing tasks, and taking responsibility
– Ability to explain research and present progress effectively to other students and supervisors
