Microsystems and Nanotechnology (MiNa)
About
Our group investigates and develops novel micro- and nano-scale devices and systems. Applications of our research span over many areas, including biomedical devices, nano-computing, nano-devices, communication, energy, sensors and actuators. From start to finish, we work on aspects including modeling, design, technology development, fabrication, characterization, and experimentation.
We are a dedicated team of visionary and exploratory researchers from the departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical and Biological Engineering and Physics and Astronomy. A number of us are also members of ICICS – the Institute for Computing, Information and Cognitive Systems. By working with researchers from a number of disciplines, students are able to gather a unique perspective on leading edge, world-class research.
More information on the MiNa research group can be found on their website.
