FIELDS

Some general information about the areas our research takes place in.

Microsystems / MEMS

Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are electromechanical systems in the scale of microns, often invisible to the naked eye. More...

Optical MEMS

Microsystems engineered for optical applications. More...

Nanosystems

Smaller even than microsystems, nanosystems approach the scale of atoms themselves. More...
