MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) in the Bio Microsystem field

 ABOUT THE MEETING:   

Professor Ian Papsutsky will be speaking on behalf of the UC IEEE regarding his research on MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) in the Bio Microsystem field.  He will have examples of his work on hand for demonstration. 

Description the research lab:

The BioMicroSystems (BMS) Lab performs highly multi-disciplinary research, from fundamental science to applied work. The BioMicroSystems research includes application of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and microfluidics to biology, medicine, and environment, often referred to as BioMEMS. Our mission is to understand and develop microfluidic systems and sensors for improving public health and safety. We also have a strong interest in developing microfabrication and nanofabrication techniques.

Following dinner and presentation, a tour will be available.
