Micro-electro-mechanical Systems (MEMS) devices have long been evolving and are now referred to as the "quiet revolution." More than ever, they play a significant role and integrate seamlessly into our everyday lives through point-of-care devices, environmental monitoring tools, autonomous vehicles, and mobile devices, to name but a few. Their design and development now demand holistic system-oriented approaches and analyses, including considerations for functional materials and systems integration challenges to provide successful solutions for the real world. The research in our group focuses on design, fabrication, and technology development using micro-nano-bio engineering approaches toward translational healthcare applications. The centerpiece of our device development efforts is "systems integration" with a focus on gastrointestinal diagnostics, bacterial biofilm monitoring and inhibition, and Lab-on-a-Chip sensing platforms for investigating gut-brain cross-talk. This is..
