Emerging Micro/Nano Technologies
About
Vision
An exciting and emerging field of electronics in which technologies on the scale of a billionth of a meter integrate mechanical, fluidic, biological and optical components. Nanometer scale technologies are forcing changes in the way in which we view and use communications and information.
Innovation
With a strong emphasis on experimentation and fabrication, the applications will span the areas of biomedical devices, nano-computing, nano-devices, energy, optical communications, sensors and actuators. We thrive on our ability to fabricate almost anything we can imagine at the micro and nano scales; if it doesn’t already exist, we research novel nano-fabrication and rapid prototyping methods. Our dedicated team of visionary and exploratory researchers working together on multidisciplinary problems creates a unique advantage for us here at the ECE; where else will you find faculty asking the same questions that you are? Students will be engaged in theory and practice, studying the core engineering curriculum, as well as courses in nano and micro technologies.
