Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project aims to design and develop inbody mobile bio-nanosensor networks using small scale autonomous mobile sensors that are made from biological materials and mechanisms. Inbody mobile bio-nanosensor networks are expected to provide future nanomedical applications such as cancer detection and treatment. A challenge in design and development of inbody mobile bio-nanosensor networks is how to integrate small scale sensors to create a functional and robust network. In this project, we propose a method for a group of sensors to propagate, relay and share information effectively. We also develop computational models to analyze the performance of the proposed method and conduct simulation experiments to evaluate the proposed method.
