MSc thesis project proposal
Bioelectric interfacing with filamentous fungi
Fungi produce measurable local field potentials spontaneously thanks to the combined electrochemical ion transport activity of its filamentous network. The objective of this project is to quantify the baseline (spontaneous) bioelectric potential in a repeatable, highly quantitative way before scaling up. We plan to do this using custom microelectrode arrays fabricated in the cleanroom
Assignment
In summary, you will work on:
- mask design and cleanroom fabrication
- exploring how to grow and interface the fungi with the electrode
- measuring bioelectric activity of fungi on electrode
- analyzing the corresponding signals
