Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The purpose of this journal club is to explore the applications and performance of micromechanical systems in different fields of technology and physics as well as to scan the different methodologies applied this context. The journal club aims to inspire the transfer of methods and is targeted at students that plan to become or are actively engaged in research with mechanical systems.

Topics may include:
· Micro-Mechanical System Characterization
· Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS)
· Micro-Opto-Mechanical Systems
· Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems
Optical, magnetic and electrostatic levitation
· Performance and Limitations of Micro-Mechanical Systems
· Mechanical Properties and Behavior (Scaling, Friction & Damping)
Active control of micromechanical systems
· Microfluidics and Lab-on-a-Chip Technologies
· Micro-Mechanical Systems in Biological and Medical Applications
· Sensors and Actuators
· Optical Switches and Modulators
· Future directions and open questions
