Do you have an interest in working with microcontrollers, FPGA, and circuits? Our research team at MR-Link LLC (co-founded by Prof. Zhongming Liu) is working on exciting new developments in the medical device field. We are offering a paid internship position for undergraduate or graduate students with keen interest in device development, testing and manufacturing.

If you are interested, please contact Dr. Zhongming Liu (email: zmliu@purdue.edu).

Company Overview:

MR-Link aims to deliver novel, MRI-compatible medical devices for physiological recording and stimulation based on technologies developed at Purdue University. Imaging, recording, and stimulation are complementary ways to study the structures, functions, and pathologies of the brain. Our products are unique, affordable, and offer a scalable solution to integrate multiple diagnostic imaging techniques and their respective benefits. The company’s long-term goal is developing its technology to deliver an affordable and MRI-compatible EEG system to the clinical human market. The path the company will take to reach this goal is to primarily cater its products to the animal research market to refine the technology for clinical trials, FDA approval process, and ultimately meet the standard required in the clinical setting for human subjects. We at MR-Link believe that our technology will accelerate the progress in the understanding, diagnosis, and prevention of various brain disorders and enable researchers and clinicians to develop novel treatment plans with improved success rates and a better quality of care for patients.
