Bio-electrical Electronics Laboratory (바이오전기전자실험)

Teaching assistant for the undergraduate hands-on laboratory course on biopotential acquisition, electrochemical sensing, and embedded data acquisition.

Instructor: Prof. Jungmok Seo (BLISS Lab)

Term: Fall 2024 — Fall 2025

Location: Yonsei University, School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering

Time: Weekly lab session

Role

Teaching Assistant for Bio-electrical Electronics Laboratory at Yonsei University’s School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, from September 2024 to December 2025.

Responsibilities

  • Lead weekly hands-on lab sessions for undergraduate students
  • Mentor student teams through experiments on biopotential acquisition (ECG / EMG / EEG front-ends), electrochemical sensing (cyclic voltammetry, amperometry), and embedded data acquisition (microcontroller-based instrumentation)
  • Prepare lab handouts, debug student hardware/firmware issues, and grade lab reports
  • Translate research-grade instrumentation knowledge (AD5941 potentiostats, ADS131M08 biopotential ADCs) into pedagogical exercises appropriate for the undergraduate level

What students learn

  • Reading datasheets and translating block diagrams into working circuits
  • Acquiring noisy biological signals and validating SNR
  • Designing controlled electrochemical experiments (3-electrode cells, reference selection)
  • Writing reproducible measurement protocols

This is the course that bridges the abstract circuit-theory background of EE undergrads with the practical realities of building biosensors — the kind of laboratory experience that originally motivated my own move into bioelectronics.
