microelectromechanical systems research
Our lab specializes in the development of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices.
MEMS devices are structures that are micro- or nanofabricated much like integrated circuits (computer chips)
However, MEMS devices are designed to move and perform specific functions. Specific examples of MEMS projects
from our lab include walking micro-robots, implantable intra-ocular pressure sensors, and microfluidic devices.
High-Speed Camera - Photon UX50
The Photron UX50 in our lab is capable of capturing video at 2000fps with full resolution. It is equipped with a telescoping lens,
halogen sourced fiberoptic backlight and ringlights, for cross-section and top-down video recordings, respectively.
