Rahimi Lab has two research positions open for undergraduate students over Summer 2022. One research area is wireless sensor design and implementation for wearable healthcare and biomedical applications. The second research area is drone-assisted measurements of wireless soil sensors for precision agriculture applications.  The positions are open for students in ECE/BME/MSE with a background in PCB design, Arduino programming, and/or Antenna design and measurements. The students will receive training and assistance on software, such as Altium and Arduino, and characterization equipment, such as a vector network analyzer. With guidance, the students will also perform antenna measurements in an anechoic chamber facility as well as in agricultural fields.  

Motivated students with prior experience in these areas are preferred. If interested, please email Prof. Rahim Rahimi (rrahimi@purdue.edu) with a brief explanation of your background and prior experience and an attached resume.
