Welcome!

This website is devoted to my research in MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) at University of California, Irvine. I'm a graduate student in Electrical Engineering, working as a researcher in Professor Andrei Shkel's Microsystems Lab.

Microelectromechanical systems are miniature devices that usually include both electrical and mechanical parts. MEMS are normally fabricated with the same lithography-based techniques and equipment used in the microelectronics industry. Today MEMS are used in many different industries, e.g. automotive, consumer electronics, telecommunication, and medical. Some of the most commercially successful applications include accelerometers in airbag deployment systems, gyroscopes for rollover detection in cars, micronozzles in inkjet printers, and micromirrors in digital projectors.
