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.

Cheolbok Kim will defend his dissertation proposal, entitled "Terahertz and Millimeter Wave Antenna and Waveguides Using 3D Microfabrication and Metamaterial Architectures" at 4:00PM on Friday, November 22nd in LAR 234. All are invited to attend.
IMG faculty and students are a major part of the NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) Planning Meeting for Multi-functional Integrated System Technology (MIST) held Nov. 19-20 at the UF Hilton Conference Center. Led by Dr. Toshi Nishida (Director) and Dr. David Arnold (Deputy Director) and facilitated by all of the IMG faculty, over 30 representatives from companies and agencies attended the planning meeting. Several poster presentations were given by IMG students. The MIST Center is a joint effort between UF and UCF with the mission to pioneer the "More than Moore" era by developing materials, processes, and devices that increase the functionality of integrated systems.

This Friday at 11:15 AM, we have an introductory workshop on AutoCAD, Solidworks and UF Apps by the IMG Tech Committee. The primary focus of the workshop will be on UF Apps, while AutoCAD and Solidworks will be used as demo examples.
UF Apps is a software licensing system which provides convenient access to softwares like MS Office, MATLAB, AutoCAD, SolidWorks and a few others. It is free for UF Gators. You can read more about it at http://info.apps.ufl.edu/.
Prospective attendees are encouraged to download and install the Citrix receiver necessary for accessing the available softwares. Remember to bring your laptops to the workshop if possible. The last fifteen minutes will be reserved for questions and laptop specific problems.
N.B.: The regular venue for the IMG Seminar series - LAR234 - is unavailable this Friday. The venue for the workshop is LAR310.
