Semiconductor and Sensor Technologies

The Semiconductor and Sensor Technologies research prepares you for jobs in the semiconductor industry for integrated circuit chips and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), as well as companies producing sensors of various types for a large variety of applications such as healthcare, environmental monitoring, automobiles, military, and more.

Programs

Research Topics

Sensors, MEMS and BioMEMS, Microfluidics, Biosensors and Bioelectronics, Biomedical Devices and Systems, IoT, Nanoelectronics, Solid-State Materials and Devices, RF and Wireless Device

Sensors are a big deal here. It’s something we’ve had historical strength in with pioneers in the field.
