IMG research focuses on micro- and nanosystems for healthcare, energy, security, aerospace, transportation, consumer electronics, and other industries. Efforts include design, fabrication, characterization, and ultimately deployment of micro and nanotechnologies for a wide variety of applications. IMG is playing a leading role in the MIST Center (Multi-functional integrated system technology), an NSF I/UCRC program.

Congratulations to IMG member Kartik Sondhi! Kartik won the award for best poster at the IDTechEx Show! in Santa Clara, CA last week. This conference focuses on emerging technologies and is the biggest conference for research in printed electronics. Awesome work!
IMG welcomes its newest faculty member—Dr. Jennifer Andrew from the UF Department of Materials Science and Engineering! Dr. Andrew and her group have collaborated with IMG on various projects since she joined the UF faculty in 2011, and her research interests include developing functional nano materials for biomedical and electronic applications. As such, she’s a natural fit!
Glad to have you on board!
The speaker for this week's seminar is:
11:55am - 12:45pm: Dr. G. Bahar Basim (Invited speaker - UF): A Review on Controlling Nano-Scale Chemically Modified Thin Films for Microelectronics Processes Development
Congratulations to Kartik Sondhi (advised by Dr. Nishida and Dr. Fan), Renuka Bowrothu (advised by Dr. Yoon), and Kangfu Chen (advised by Dr. Fan) on winning the 2019 IMG Excellence in Research Award! After a long deliberation, the IMG faculty and students selected these members for this award to show appreciation for their research efforts and contributions to their respective fields. May we all aspire to such a level of achievement!
Mayur Ghatge will defend his Ph.D. dissertation entitled "Linear and Non-Linear Micro-Acoustic Waveguides for Frequency Control Applications" at 9:45 am on Wednesday, November 20 in LAR 234.
IMG faculty member, Dr. Z. Hugh Fan, saw his group make a big showing at the MicroTAS 2019 Conference in Basel, Switzerland! His students Pablo Dopico, Carlos Manzanas, and Karim Yousry are presenting their work there this week. Nice job!

Dr. Fan’s group will have an open house this Friday 10/18 (tomorrow) at 11:00 AM in the Microfluidics lab (Benton 237E). For those who have join IMG recently, the open house is an invitation to everyone in IMG to learn about the research, the projects, and the equipment of an IMG group. Some demos will be set up in the lab, and we will be showing some of our projects:
- Pablo, Minh-Chau & Zac: Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs): explanation on how to run a device for CTCs capture, and visualization of the cells under the microscope.
Soon to graduate PhD member of IMG and Dr. Tabrizian’s research group, Mayur Ghatge, recently published a great paper in Nature Electronics titled, “An Ultrathin Integrated Nanoelectromechanical Transducer Based on Hafnium Zirconium Oxide.” Awesome work Mayur!
