Electronics and Micro/Nano Technologies

Electronics and Micro/Nano Technologies explore the design, fabrication, and integration of electronic systems and semiconductor devices at micro- and nanoscales, pushing the boundaries of performance, efficiency, and miniaturization. By bridging photonic, thermal, mechanical and quantum phenomena, materials science and circuit engineering, we enable the next generation of intelligent, energy-efficient, and adaptive electronic platforms. This includes the development of advanced chips and hardware architectures that power modern electronic systems for sensing and computing. Research in this field benefits from close collaborations with our research platforms: WINFAB for micro and nano fabrication, and WELCOME for measurement and characterization.
