Description
Description
Possible directions of the R&D:
- R&D of novel EIS instrumentation (with improved metrological characteristics, smaller and faster solutions, with various connectivity options); based on novel signals, signal processing and data acquisition approaches; sparse representation of information-rich signals, considering analog and digital approaches, novel mixed hardware, firmware and software aspects;
- Developing of applications, for healthcare, medical or industrial applications; modeling, simulations and machine learning aspects for specific applications; separation of signal components, correction of various errors, solving of test- and classifications tasks etc.
As an example, a possible result, one application could be the eddy current (EC) based impedance spectroscopy, by specially developed and investigated
- instrumentation: array of sensor-coils and measurement electronics (precise vector measurements in the up to 20 MHz frequency band with ppm-resolution);
- forward electromagnetic models of the measured objects (tissues, metal structures);
- real-time efficient inverse solving of these models
Responsibilities and tasks
