Liebschner and Zhong receive funding from Microsoft Research Biomedical Computing program
Microsoft Research has announced that Assistant Professor Michael
Liebschner, Department of Bioengineering and Assistant Professor Lin Zhong,
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering have been awarded
funding for their collaborative research project, OsteoConduct: Musculo-Skeletal Conduction
for Secure Data Communication. This research will help improve
the accuracy, efficiency, and security of body-area communication using
the human body. The development of this technology will ultimately lead
to improved user interfaces for hands-free operation of wearable or
mobile computing devices, highly secure data transmission and user
authentication for reliable and protected access to confidential data,
and new mechanisms for cost-effective diagnostic services using mobile
computing devices. Initial results from this collaboration were
presented at the Second
International Conference on Body Area Networks Florence, Italy in
June 2007.
The Microsoft Research Biomedical Computing Program is highly selective only six projects nation-wide were funded this year. For more information http://research.microsoft.com/ |
