Biosensing intern

Helsinki Sports Science Laboratory is looking a Biosensing intern to join us to participate in technology proof of concept study. Work content is to plan, perfom and report an in-vivo study of novel biosensing technique. Target is to research the opportunity to implement the new feature and novel biosensor in future commercial wearable devices.

Main Tasks:

• Design and implement algorithms for measuring biomarkers using non-invasive optical sensors
• Process and analyze biosensor data using machine learning and mathematical models based on light-tissue interaction and light propagation in the skin
• Plan and conduct data collection for biosensing experiments
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate biosensing capabilities into consumer wearable devices

Requirements:

• Currently pursuing a PhD in Biophotonics, Biomedical Engineering, or a closely related field
• Experience in Biosignal data processing and data collection involving human subjects, data analysis, visualization and reporting.
• Prior knowledge of modeling light propagation in the skin is preferred
• Deep knowledge of human physiology and its relation to biomarker detection using optical sensors (e.g. lactate, hydration status, metabolic rate)
  
• Strong understanding of optical biosensor techniques, including Photoplethysmography (PPG) and Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), as well as familiarity with bio-optical modeling approaches for these methods
• Ability to independently execute projects, design and conduct data collection, analyze the data and report findings in a scientific manner.
• Demonstrated ability to work systematically and deliver comprehensive reports within specified timelines.
• Strong team collabration skills, an innovative mindset and a positive attitude.
