intelligent MICROSYSTEM LABORATORY (i M L)

Home Research People Facility

OVERVIEW

The mission of the Intelligent Microsystem Laboratory (IML) is to accomplish functional integration (on-chip intelligence) and structural integration (miniaturization) of advanced microsystems. We identify novel microsystems for special needs, implement them with microfabrication technologies, and demonstrate the system performance. Current research topics include intelligent biochemical microsystems (microsensors, microactuators, and microfluidics) and their applications to special environments (in situ/in vivo environment, microgravity environment, and rhizosphere environment).

The IML is located at the Materials Research Center (MRC), Missouri University of Science and Technology (MST). The laboratory is equipped with a variety of instruments to fabricate and characterize integrated microsystems. We are part of the Intelligent System Center (ISC) and support one of ISC’s emphasis areas (Advanced Sensing, Decision and Control) and its sub-area (MEMS and nanosensors). The IML is devoted to providing highly interactive and interdisciplinary research environment and to collaborating with experts in various fields to develop niche research areas.
