I mean, there were some peripheral end application of the wireless imaging and telecommunication system that I was using for security and bioimaging, but this was... a very clear direct application to biology and biological system and understanding the constraints around that and really designing and engineering electrical solutions around it. So that was my first introduction.

And that's also kind of how I got introduced to Michel. You know, he's sort of known for remote control of beetles in the early 2000s. And then Around 2013, obviously kind of the holy grail when it comes to implantable system is to kind of understand how small of a thing you can make.

And a lot of that is driven by how much energy or how much power you can supply to it and how you extract data from it. So at the time at Berkeley, there was kind of this desire to kind of understand in the neural space what sort of system you can build to really miniaturize these implantable systems.

And I distinctively remember this one particular meeting where Michel came in and he's like, guys, I think I have a solution. The solution is ultrasound. Yeah. And, uh, and then he proceeded to kind of walk through why that is the case.

And that, that really formed the basis for my thesis work, um, uh, called neural dust system that was looking at ways to use ultrasound as opposed to, uh, electromagnetic waves for powering as well as communication.

I guess I should step back and say the initial goal of the project was to build these tiny, about a size of a neuron, implantable system that can be parked next to a neuron, being able to record its state and being able to ping that back to the outside world for doing something useful.

And as I mentioned, the size of the implantable system is limited by how you power the thing and get the data off of it. And at the end of the day, fundamentally, if you look at a human body, we're essentially a bag of salt water with some interesting proteins and chemicals, but it's mostly salt water that's very, very well temperature regulated at 37 degrees Celsius.
