The proposed NeuroProbes project aims to design and build multi-electrode arrays and to integrate electrical recording, drug dispensing, and biochemical analysis, while maintaining compatibility with techniques such as fMRI. It also proposes to innovate by providing integrated telemetry. In this project, I work with IMTEK team.

In this recent time, there are many people that wish to have nice teeth, white and in correct formation. But some people have teeth that are not in proper position. Therefore, they use bracket or dental brace that can be attached by a dentist. This is not an easy task for the dentist to attach the bracket to the teeth. This difficulty of attachment process results high percentage failure of the bracket attachment that can break some teeth.

IMTEK researcher team has developed a joystick based on single chip stress sensor. In this project, I am the one and only programmer for Graphical User Interface for data acquisition and hardware controller. I developed also the LabView driver for this chip. Using this driver, the joystick calibration process can be perfomed automatically without to much supervised by human and much faster. I have developed both software using Visual C++.

Achievement:

In this master thesis, the strain of plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) silicon nitride (SiNx) microtensile specimens has been evaluated using two dimensional gratings. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) of 20 nm thick gold as two dimensional gratings with period vary from 4 µm to 18 µm were deposited on the top surface of mechanical structures and silicon nitride specimens. Both lateral and axial strains of four silicon nitride specimens can be measured by examining the laser interference pattern of the gratings.

Cekli PhotoLab is my project under sourceforge.net framework. It is an image processing software written with C++ using wxWidgets library. Based on wxWidgets allows compiling Cekli PhotoLab under several platforms like Linux, MacOS, Windows, Windows XP, PDA and more. I maintain the project by myself from the C++ code, documentation and the website for publication.
