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:
- Materials, Processes, and Devices for MEMS – including work on piezoelectrics, magnetics, materials/package reliability, DRIE, wafer bonding, plastic fabrication, and printed MEMS
- Biological and Chemical MEMS – includes cell manipulation, DNA and protein processing, biomolecule detection, medical sensors, microreactors, micro gas analyzers, and microfluidics
- Actuators and Power MEMS – includeing switches, mirrors, pumps, turbines, fuel cells, thermophotovoltaics, chemical lasers, and energy harvesting
- 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
