Micromechanical devices: This includes the development of; sub-millimetre
micromotors and microactuators; microengineered fluid handling devices;
development and integration of a minimally invasive microdevices for medical
and industrial applications; shape memory alloy thin film microactuators and
microsensors; micro- and macro-compliant manipulators for micro-positioning;
biological MEMS devices for living cell studies; nanomechanical measurement
of biological tissues; and bio-mechanical-MEMS, applied, for example, to new
sensing and actuation materials development and novel mechanical detection of
biomarkers for rapid disease diagnostics and drug screening. Micro-actuator
for trans-urethral palpation of prostate gland.
