Your future mission

Melexis is actively exploring new technologies for digital health (www.melexis.com/digital-health). This internship contributes to an ongoing innovation project “Biosensing platform” where Melexis explores nanomaterial-based sensors for applications in wearables, remote patient monitoring and next-generation, fast, reliable and affordable point-of-care testing (POCT)/in-vitro diagnostics (IVD). This can be a Master's thesis or an internship.

 As an intern at Melexis, your tasks will include:

• The functional and electrical characterization of our newest GFET-on-CMOS sensor IC, to assess the properties and performance of the devices (variability, noise, drift) before and after chemical functionalization.

• Carrying out biosensing experiments to characterize the response and limit of detection of the devices for the targeted analytes.

• The integration of the CMOS die within a microfluidic system, with timed liquid delivery onto the sensor surface) and the development of a demonstrator device.

Expected results

• Comprehensive reports documenting the IC characterization, design approach, test results, and recommendations for future development
• An integrated and standalone demonstrator device of our GFET-on-CMOS IC

Requirements

• Master’s degree in micro/nanotechnology, physics or related fields

• Experience with conducting electrical characterization of sensors and data analysis

• Hands-on experience with microfluidics, such as PDMS processes, 3D printing, adhesive bonding, etc.

• First experience at the Center of MicroNanotechnology (CMI/EPFL) is a strong plus

• Strong affinity for programming, such as embedded systems and data analysis (C/C++, Python)

• Knowledge of biosensors is a plus
