Microsystems and Nanotechnology Centre
The Microsystems and Nanotechnology Centre has a worldwide reputation for its work in the field of functional materials and devices. Our extensive facilities, many of which are to industry standard, enable high quality research to be undertaken ranging from the synthesis of novel nanostructured materials to the development and prototyping of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).
The multidisciplinary nature of the Centre is reflected by our strategic research areas which include energy, environment, communications, life science interfaces and motion technologies. The Centre offers an innovative Microsystems and Nanotechnology postgraduate programme and a number of exciting research opportunities. We are founding members of the Piezo Institute, and have a close relationship with industry that ensures that the research carried out continues to maintain its relevance to both industry and academia.
The Centre is also involved in:
