Microsensor and Microactautor Laboratory

Thin Film and Nanomaterials Laboratory

 

The Microsensor and Microactautor Laboratory and Thin Film and Nanomaterials Laboratory are two of the core research laboratories in the School of Engineering of the University of Pittsburgh. The Laboratories are equipped with advanced facilities for thin film materials and devices, as well as nanotechnology research. Bio-MEMS, thin film piezoelectric and electrostrictive materials and micro-devices; oxide nanotube and nanowire research; electro-active polymer films and devices; compact/miniaturized fuel cell power generation devices; thin film acoustic wave devices are currently the primary research areas in the Microsensor and Microactuator Lab with a goal to carry out an interdisciplinary research/education in these areas.
