Research at AIMS Lab.

At AIMS Lab, the main focus is developing novel sensing and computation technology for connecting signals and information in our physical world to the digital world. While developing new sensors and integrated microsystems, we learn and explore the interface of electrical engineering, solid-state physics, continuum mechanics, material science, and biology. We also explore innovative approaches to close the manufacturability gap using novel process-aware micro/nano fabrication methods.

  The following are technical areas at AIMS:

Integrated Microsystems for Sensing and Computation

Microcalorimetric Thermal Conductivity Sensing

Mechanical Wave Microsystems; Ultrasound Waves for Sensing and Computation

Moving computation near-MEMS and in-MEMS
