Li-Bachman Research Groups Wiki
Bionic and Assistive Technologies (BATs)
The BATs group is concerned with microdevices for bionic and assistive technologies with applications in prosthetics, sensory devices (e.g., hearing aids, balance sensors). Projects include microsensors, human-machine interace, sensory substitution, telemedicine.
Advanced Materials
The Advanced Materials group is concerned with new materials and processes for building micro and nano-sensors, and electronic devices. We are primarily interested in materials for physical sensor applications such as for acoustics, pressure, strain, temperature, electromagnetics, etc., and materials for flexible electronics.
Nanovolume
The Nanovolume group is concerned with technologies for efficiently performing physics, biology and chemistry in extremely small volumes (less than 1 microliter). Applications are in high throughput biology, combinatorial chemistry, and medicine (e.g., personalized medicine). This group also covers microfluidics.
Imaging
The Imaging group is concerned with technologies for performing imaging with small devices. Applications are for endoscopy and minimially invasive devices, as well as for consumer applications.
Microarray
The Microarrays group is concerned with technologies for biological microarrays. Microarrays can enable high count, highly redundant experiments to be performed in biology.
Implants
The Implants group is interested in developing micro-scale implantable devices, such as drug delivery devices and microelectronics, that can help provide more effective treatments or monitoring for therapeutic applications.
RF MEMS
The RF MEMS group is interested in developing microdevices for telemetry and communications. Example projects include reconfigurable antennas and sensor RFID.
Instrumentation
The Instrumentation group is focussed on developing instrumentation technology generally relevant to biological instruments and medical equipment. Most of the projects in this group have to do with basic instrumentation using conventional technologies, but applied to new and interesting applications.
Circuits
The Circuits group is interested in designing circuits for high speed, broadband wireless applications.
Microfab
The Microfab group is concerned with developing new manufacturing methods and processes for materials and devices at microscales. Additionallmy the microfab grouos supports a foundry service that provides first class manufacturing service to the Li-Bachman program.
