CALL FOR 1 (ONE) RESEARCH GRANT UNDER THE PROJECT WITH THE REFERENCE
UID/EEA/00048

Grant: Research Fellowship for PhD Students

Reference: BD4/2021/Topic 4

Application period: 1st to 22th June/2022

 

The Institute of Systems and Robotics - University of Coimbra (ISR-UC) opens
a call for 1 (one) research grant (BI) under the project with the reference
UID/EEA/00048, financed by national funds through the FCT / MCTES (PIDDAC)
under the following conditions:

 

Scientific area: Electrical and Computers Engineering, Electronics
Engineering, Physical Engineering, Computer Science, Informatics
Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Robotics and Applied machine learning
and similar areas.

 

Work plan/ Objectives: The selected candidate will develop tasks in the
following area: Self-powered autonomous biomonitoring wearable systems.

This proposal aims at the fabrication self-powered wearable biomonitoring
systems, using novel ultrathin double layer supercapacitors, integrating IoT
systems, to support distributed health care. The proposed work is based on
early results of a new promising materials, which combines nanoparticles
from Eutectic Gallium Indium Liquid Metal, and Graphene Oxide. The developed
supercapacitors will be combined with printed stretchable antennas for far
field energy harvesting. In this way we intend to move toward self-powered
IoT systems, that can be a fixed station, or mobile. The supercapacitor
allows the system to function for certain amount of the time, even if they
cannot harvest energy for that time. The integration of energy harvesting
technologies with the Internet of things (IoT) is becoming more and more
common. IoT edge devices, which include end-user equipment connected to the
network which interacts with other networks and devices, may be located in
remote locations where the main power is not available, or battery
replacement is not feasible. Energy harvesting technologies can reduce or
eliminate the need for batteries for edge devices by using supercapacitors
or rechargeable batteries to recharge them in the field. Furthermore,
autonomous, or rechargeable sensors are environment friendly as they do not
contain any harmful metal or chemicals for the environment. A low-power IoT
system will be implemented as a demonstrator of the capabilities of the
developed Energy Storage technology. This demonstrator will explore the use
of Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) networks to allow IoT devices to connect and
communicate efficiently and effectively over large distances with minimal
cost in terms of power.
