Introduction of research activities at Nano/Micro System Engineering Lab
Abstract:
A micro machine accomplishes a dream to realize machines that manipulate information with light, diagnose the body from the inside, or assembles parts by operating individual atoms and molecules. We are aiming at the realization of microsystems and nanosystems with novel and unique functions by integrating functional elements in different domains such as mechanics, electronics, chemistry, optics and biotechnology.
These micro/nano systems are expected to be novel machines which will support a highly-networked information society, an aging society and an eco-friendly society in the 21st century. Research on a three dimension micro fabrication and micro/nano assembling technology for construction of micro/nano systems, evaluation of mechanical properties of thin films, micro sensors, micro-actuators, etc., is pursued.
Osamu TABATA received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Nagoya Institute of Technology, Nagoya, Japan, in 1981 and in 1993, respectively. From 1981 to 1996, he performed industrial research at Toyota Central Research and Development Laboratories, Inc., in Aichi, Japan. In 1996, he joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Ritsumeikan University in Shiga, Japan.
Prof. TABATA spent three months each as Guest Professor at the Institute of Microsystem Technology, Freiburg University, Germany, in 2000 and at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, in 2001. In September 2003, he joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan. From April 2005, he is Professor at the Department of Micro Engineering, Kyoto University. Prof. Tabata is currently engaged inhe research of micro/nano processes, MEMS and micro/nano system synthetic engineering (SENS).
