Achievement

IGERT students at SUNY Binghamton have taken advantage of the interdisciplinary course offerings in Flexible Electronics and in the Design and Optimization of Electrochemical sensors. The former features recent development of flexible circuits, specifically emphasizing the progress on new flexible materials compatible with conformation and movement while being amenable to facile and low temperature processing, as well as major advances in manufacturing technologies such as roll-to-roll processing. The latter course emphasizes sensors for biomedical, environmental, food-safety and biosecurity applications with specific knowledge of surface science relating to bio-immobilization, molecular recognition, and non-specific interactions of enzymes, antibodies and nucleic acid modified surfaces. The combination of the courses presents students with the knowledge to design and optimize flexible biosensors.
