MEMS@MIT

The MEMS@MIT Center serves to unite the wide-ranging campus activities in micro/nano systems and MEMS with forward-looking industrial organizations.  Currently, MEMS@MIT is composed of more than 150 faculty, students, and staff working on a broad research agenda and supported by more than $15 million/year in research sponsorship.  The MEMS research efforts on campus focus on four overarching themes:

  1. Materials, Processes, and Devices for MEMS – including work on piezoelectrics, magnetics, materials/package reliability, DRIE, wafer bonding, plastic fabrication, and printed MEMS
  2. Biological and Chemical MEMS – includes cell manipulation, DNA and protein processing, biomolecule detection, medical sensors, microreactors, micro gas analyzers, and microfluidics
  3. Actuators and Power MEMS – includeing switches, mirrors, pumps, turbines, fuel cells, thermophotovoltaics, chemical lasers, and energy harvesting
  4. Sensors, Systems, and Modeling – includes wireless sensors, pressure sensing systems, and CAD for MEMS

Membership benefits include:

  • Insight into newest ideas in MEMS
  • Early access to research results
  • Early awareness of IP generated for licensing
  • Access to high-quality continuing education materials
  • Partnering for federal or other funding opportunities
  • Recruitment of leading MIT graduates
