Programmable MEMS We investigate the deposition of magnetic layers in microfabrication processes. These layers will be used to tailor the transducer response to the user needs. In this microfluidic example the proposed method will be used to determine the operation of microvalves in response to an external actuation field. Funding: EPSRC New Investigator Award, Institute for Mathematical Innovation,
Tactile Display Pad In this multidisciplinary research project, we develop a vibrotactile display that helps visually impaired individuals receive graphical information through the sense of touch. Researchers from the department of Computer Science, Psychology and Education will improve the end-user experience of this interface. Funding: Alumni Fund, Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering.,
Micro-energy Harvesting The integration of sensing elements and energy harvesting transducers will provide a reliable platform for implementation of wireless sensor networks for future IoT applications. We investigate novel highly efficient transducer devices and low-power CMOS circuits to realise the integrated sensing and energy harvesting transducers. The result of our collaborative research with Monash University Australia, has been recently published in IEEE Electron Device Letters. Our work on Piezoelectric Micro-energy harvesting has been accepted for presentation in IEEE MEMS 2023, Munich Germany,
