    I am interested in Microelectronics and Applied Physics, particularly the solid-state electronic devices, and its fabrication and characterization techniques. While I always had a natural inclination towards physics and electronics because of my mother who is a physicist, I got really passionate in the field of nano-electronics during my undergraduate study at Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IIT-GN) and the research internship at University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). During my Summer

  • Microscopy Essay

    1561 Words  | 4 Pages

    Technology in the last few decades has impacted our understanding of biological entities greatly, the genome project being a prime example. The progress that biology sees follows closely with the development of new technology. It is very important to understand and visualise the composition and structures of biological materials or samples in order to extend and correlate this to the principles of life. Microscopy is a by far the most used and the most relevant technique in this regard. However the

  • Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS)

    885 Words  | 2 Pages

    Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) is the integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators and electronics on a common silicon substrate using microfabrication techniques. MEMS are a hot area of research because they integrate sensing, analyzing and responding on the same silicon substrate hence promising realization of complete systems-on-a-chip. As MEMS are manufactured using batch fabrication techniques similar to IC technology, MEMS are expected to

  • The Importance Of Biochips

    1402 Words  | 3 Pages

    Generally biochips are made for making our life easier. For this reason the ultimate biochip consists a complete LOC to perform an inclusive analysis of biological, chemical, and physical parameters; and also includes a therapeutic BioMEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System), for instance a drug delivery or an electro-stimulation sub-system. There are lots of practical problems that need to be solved before this type of biochip becomes reality. For examples the regeneration of biochemical sensing surfaces

    from the growing semiconductor field and applied it to different science fields. With application of the MEMS technology in biological sciences a new field has born under the title of BioMEMS field. This field has borrowed the most advanced microfabrication techniques from its parent field, MEMS, and has applied it to the micron size world of the biological particles such as cells, viruses, and bacteria. With recent advances in the microfluidics, BioMEMS has enabled fast prototyping of the medical
