Matthew Grayson is a professor of electrical engineering at Northwestern University, and an expert in the design, fabrication, and electrical and thermoelectric characterization of electronic devices and materials. He has developed new methods in electrical impedance tomography for 3D bioimaging as well as 2D artificial skin sensor applications. Earlier work studied magnetotransport in low-dimensional electron systems such as quantum wells, one-dimensional wires, classical and quantum Hall effect, and quantum Hall edges. He also characterizes anisotropic conductors and electrical transients in amorphous materials. He has developed advances in thermoelectric materials with the concept of transverse thermoelectrics for integrated thermal management.

Claire Onsager is currently a PhD candidate in electrical engineering at Northwestern University. As a member of the Grayson group, she has worked on the development of a mathematically robust figure of merit, the sensitivity volume, for electrical impedance tomography (EIT) measurement selection. She applied her EIT work to NDE applications through a recently completed NSF internship with AFRL’s Materials and Manufacturing Directorate. Claire’s research interests include cross-disciplinary development of non-invasive electrical impedance tomography (EIT) imaging algorithms and experimental characterization systems for conductive composites, thin film devices, and for applications in damage detection, structural health monitoring, robotics, and biomedical imaging.
