Manuel Reis Carneiro, CMU Portugal Dual Degree Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Faculty of Science and Technology (FCTUC) of Universidade de Coimbra and Carnegie Mellon’s ECE Department, was interviewed by the “90 segundos de ciência” (90 seconds of science) Podcast on Antena 1 radio.
In this episode, Manuel shares his Ph.D. research being carried out at the Institute of Systems and Robotics (ISR) of Universidade de Coimbra, where he developed an eco-friendly water-based conductive ink tailored for producing flexible electronic circuits for use in medical devices.
This innovative technique is being tested in electronic patches for monitoring health data, (such as heartbeat and brain activity) as part of the “E-skins: Wearable Bio Stickers for Long-Term Electrophysiology” research project, built on the findings of the CMU Portugal’s Large Scale Collaborative Research project WoW.
Manuel Reis Carneiro’s Ph.D. research is supervised by Mahmoud Tavakoli, director of the “Soft and Printed Microelectronics Laboratory” (FCTUC I Universidade de Coimbra) in Portugal, and by Carmel Majidi, director of the Soft Machines Lab at CMU.
In 2024, Mahmoud Tavakoli and Manuel Reis Carneiro, were awarded the J. Norberto Pires Innovation Prize, for their contributions to the field of wearable electronics.
