NEMS
Nanoelectromechanical Systems: Physics, transduction & actuation engineering, NEMS surface science, fluctuation mechanisms & ultimate limits.

Alliance for
Nanosystems VLSI

Transitioning "nanocraft" to nanotechnology through pursuit of very-large-scale integration in partnership with CEA / LETI-MINATEC, Grenoble, France
NEMS "nose" systems for ultrasensitive detection of gas-phase analytes. Applications include industrial monitoring and breath-based medical diagnosis.
NEMS Biosensors
Ultrasensitive, highly-multiplexed, fluid-based bio/chem sensors, their physical principles and applications in the life sciences & medicine.
Single-Molecule NEMS-MS
Pursuit of a new NEMS-based paradigm for real-time biological mass spectrometry for high-throughput, single-cell proteomics.

Single-Cell
Nanoscale Biocalorimetry

Exploration of metabolic processes in individual cells via microfluidic-embedded nanosensor arrays.

Single-Cell
Picoforce Measurements

Single-cell force measurements via microfluidic-embedded nanosensor arrays, for investigation of cell motility and response to bio/chemical stimuli.
Nanowire NEMS
Bottom-up fabrication of NEMS, in collaboration with the Yang Group (UC Berkeley) and Lieber Group (Harvard).
Physics and applications of nonlinear mechanical response in NEMS devices, and operating principles for coupled and synchronized NEMS arrays.
Quantum Electro Mechanics
Physics of nanoelectromechanical systems at the quantum limit.
