Why I built it
I wanted to build chronic sensing and stimulation platforms that worked without tethers or batteries.

Project summary
Why it exists, what I built, and what I learned.
What I built
Wireless photometry, neurostimulation, and osseosurface systems using flexible circuits, soft materials, and biocompatible encapsulation.
What worked
The strongest part was proving that tiny implantable systems could still harvest power, communicate, and operate chronically.
What failed
Implantable systems make every constraint harder: geometry, heating, encapsulation, and in vivo behavior all matter.
What I learned
Wireless implantable work is a good test of whether a system is actually engineered, not just assembled.
