Acronym: PHEASANT |
Main Objective: This proposal will use mathematics, physics, and chemistry as tools to explore, understand, and control the design of biocompatible waveguides toward integrated photonics neuronal probes. In the PHEASANT proposal, we apply those tools to design flexible waveguides based on natural-based materials aiming for cost reduction, sustainability, and a new generation of biocompatible photonic materials. PHEASANT will be focused on the processing and characterization of alginate-based in-situ forming hydrogel fibers to create waveguides able to guide light of distinct wavelengths to provide a safe light path for neuronal studies. |
