Research Statement

Our lab's research on microfabricated sensors and systems is applied to monitoring and modeling of mechanics in small scale systems, development of novel processes and devices for measuring nanoscale mechanical behavior, operation in harsh environments, and the analysis, design, and control of integrated electro-mechanical systems. We are particularly interested in metrology and modeling for the role of mechanics in biology as well as diagnostic tools and analysis systems, and robust manufacture and design methods for force sensors.
