Research focuses on micro-nanorobotic manipulation and the design and fabrication of novel MEMS/NEMS (micro-nanoelectromechanical systems) devices. New types of micro/nano devices and systems enable a range of biological/biomedical and engineering applications that Sun’s Advanced Micro and Nanosystems Lab (AMNL) presently pursues. Research skills include micro/nano device design, fabrication, and testing; micro-nanorobotic manipulation; computer vision microscopy; pN force sensing; cellular biomechanics; and electro/mechanical characterization of biomaterials and nanomaterials.
