The research activities in Judylab are driven by equal parts technology and passion.
Technology:
The foundational technologies of Judylab are the principles, materials, and methods used to design, model, fabricate, and test micro-electro-mechanical systems and related nanotechnologies. Although these capabilities were initially only used by the integrated-circuit (IC) industry to produce electronic “chips” (e.g., microprocessors, memory, amplifiers, etc.), they have since been used to produce a tremendous variety of micromachined mechanical, optical, thermal, magnetic, chemical, and even biological structures, devices, and system. If you would like to learn more, please ready the highly cited paper Dr. Judy wrote titled “Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS): fabrication, design and applications“.
Passion:
A primary goal of Judylab is to positively impact society by bringing together advanced scientific principles and engineering technologies to bear on significant real-world challenges. We do this by keeping and open mind, thinking broadly, engaging people from disparate fields, seeing over barriers, recognizing opportunities, and pursuing mutually beneficial partnerships.
