机械工程哲学博士-微纳工程

微纳米工程包括小型结构和设备的制造，表征，设计和建模，以及它们与工程系统的集成。当尺寸缩小时，可能会导致独特的属性，从而使热物理过程的基本原理偏离传统的宏观行为。该小组的任务是在纳米和微米尺度上创造新的工程知识和产品。努力的重点是探索纳米和微观现象带来的新的纳米和微观制造方法以及新的材料和系统特性，对学生进行微观和纳米技术教育，并确定可以从微观和纳米工程学中受益的重要问题。
Micro and Nano Engineering encompasses fabrication, characterization, design and modeling of small structures and devices, and their integration into engineered systems. When dimensions shrink unique properties can result such that the fundamentals of thermo-physical processes deviate from traditional macroscopic behavior.<br><br>The Mission of the Group is to create new engineering knowledge and products at the nano- and microscale. The focus of efforts is to explore new nano- and micromanufacturing methods and new material and system properties enabled by nano- and microscale phenomena, educate students about micro- and nanotechnology and identify important problems that can benefit from micro- and nanoengineering.<br><br>The research interests of the group are broad including thermal and physical properties of nanostructures (e.g., nanowires, nanotubes, nanoparticles etc.), scalable nanomanufacturing, sensors, fuel cells, thermoelectrics, power systems, microscale medical ultrasound imaging systems, CMOS-MEMS integration, wireless MEMS devices, acoustic and opto-acoustic sensors, nanomechanical devices, biosensors, microfluidics, thermal management of electronics, ion sources for mass spectrometry and scanning probes, and focused electron beam induced deposition for additive nanomanufacturing.
