materials devices and applications

van de Burgt Research Group | Eindhoven University of Technology

Part of the engineering department, our multidisciplinary research group spans materials science, bioelectronics, electrical engineering and device physics. We focus on organic electronic and neuromorphic materials, with specific applications in adaptable bioelectronics and brain-inspired smart point-of-care diagnostic devices.
Organic Neuromorphic Devices

Organic Neuromorphic Devices

Organic electronic materials offer an attractive option for embedding artificial neural networks in hardware and could provide biocompatible and inexpensive neuromorphic devices with low-energy switching and excellent tunability.

Organic Bioelectronics

Organic Bioelectronics

Organic biocompatible materials and devices can interface with biology and as such adaptable bioelectronics can offer promising solutions for the manipulation and local processing of biological signals spanning from brain-computer-interfaces and robotics to bioinformatics

Smart Robotics

Smart Robotics

In autonomous applications such as smart robotics, where low-power and low-energy are required, dedicated devices and trainable arrays based on organic electronic materials are ideal candidates.
