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.

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!

New IMG Professor Philip Feng presented in the ECE Seminar Series this week with a talk about his research titled, “Emerging Semiconductor Nanoscale Devices and Systems: From Fundamentals to Applications”. It was great to see him share his field of work with all the students in the UF ECE Department!
IMG makes a big splash at NanoDay 2019 held in the UF Nanoscale Research Facility! Many IMG members have participated in the event by submitting research posters, and IMG professor Dr. Jack Judy was one of the main organizers. See more info about the event here: https://www.eng.ufl.edu/nimet/events/nanoday2019/
The speakers for this week's seminar are:
11:55am - 12:20pm: Dr. Myoseon Jang (Invited speaker - UF): Emerging issues on Atmospheric Aerosol: Modelling, characterization, and its Implications to Health and Climate
12:20pm - 12:45pm: Dr. Xin Tang (Invited speaker - UF): new tools for the application in the systematic investigation of uni- and multi-cellular systems to understand how mechanical force and bioelectrical signals link the form and function of living systems
IMG Member Keisha Castillo-Torres attended the 2019 Grace Hopper Celebration in Orlando, FL this past week. GHC is the world’s largest gathering of women technologists, and she was nominated to participate through their Community Cohorts pathway program.
