Challenging Medical Engineering with Quantum and Nanoelectronics
We are researching electronics that learn" from bio-system and learn "about" bio-system. In the former theme, we focus on the fact that the physical description of neuron signal processing can be described by a Hamiltonian, the same as the spin glass, a spin fluctuation physical property, and we are developing and studying brain-like devices utilizing spin fluctuation. In the latter theme, we have created an ultra-sensitive skin gas sensor using semiconducting nanotechnology and are developing a wearable healthcare sensor (sniffing device) for smartwatches to realize an undiseased and ultra-early diagnosis. In addition, we are developing non-fluorescent labeling, non-invasive inspection, and diagnostic technologies for selective coherent excitation, hydration state by plasmon, and intermolecular bonding using infrared region light represented by THz waves based on Dirac electron system.
