IMG had its annual kickoff meeting through Zoom this year! We are proud of our numerous students and faculty members for their commitment to research during this time. May this coming year lead to good research progress and a strong community!
Congratulations to IMG Professor Dr. Saeed Moghaddam for his induction as an ASME Fellow! The ASME Committee of Past Presidents awards this distinction to recognize member candidates who have made outstanding engineering achievements. Stellar work!
IMG professor Dr. David P. Arnold is a co-PI and the UF site director for a $26 million NSF grant focused on developing new technologies and systems for smart agriculture. The research funded by this grant will ultimately help U.S. farmers to stay competitive on the world stage!
Check out this research performed by IMG member Dingkang Wang and former IMG professor Dr. Huikai Xie featured in IEEE Spectrum! Their LiDAR-based sensor made from MEMS mirrors is offered as a low power solution to support the Internet of Things. Excellent work!
Liang Zhou will defend his dissertation entitled "Electrothermal MEMS Scanning Mirrors and Lenses with Large Range and High Robustness for Two-Photon Microscopy" at 03:00 pm on Wednesday, August 12th.

IMG professor, Dr. Roozbeh Tabrizian, has been announced as the 2020-2023 Alan Hastings Faculty Fellow for his incredible work in the area of RF MEMS/NEMS resonators and transducers. Congratulations, and excellent work!
Today (4/23) Camilo Velez, a Ph.D. from Dr. Arnold's group and presently a post-doc at CMU is coming back to teach all of us three different COMSOL modules. The modules that will be covered through an example of Joule heating actuator are: ACDC, Heat Transfer and Structural Mechanics.
This is useful for COMSOL beginners and intermediate level people. Be ready with your questions.
