MEMS/NEMS-based Bio-instruments

 contact: Zuruzi Abu Samah

       
  My current research interest is MEMS/NEMS-based bio-instruments. One aspect of my research includes design, fabrication, test and packaging of devices that operate in/with liquid environment. Another include integration of bio-compatible materials to allow in-vitro cell culture on devices. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the research, I collaborate with Blaine Butler and others in Professor C. R. Safinya’s research group.
