We develop next-generation smart microdevices by integrating MEMS, functional materials, LSI, and AI.
By combining expertise in mechanics, electronics, optics, materials, chemistry, and information science, we create new technologies for future semiconductor systems.
MEMS: Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems — microsystems realized using semiconductor-based microfabrication technologies.
LSI: Large-Scale Integration — highly integrated electronic circuits realized using semiconductor technologies.
Selected Research Topics
Self-assembled electrets (SAEs) integrated with MEMS for sensing and energy harvesting.
Microdevices for sensing, energy harvesting, and resonant functions.
Integration of optical fibers and MEMS for advanced sensing and functional devices.
We collaborate with researchers around the world, combining diverse perspectives and expertise to create new technologies.
Current partner institutions: National Tsing Hua University (Taiwan), University of Southampton (UK), and Czech Technical University in Prague (Czech Republic).
We hold online research meetings once or twice a month, and several students each year visit our partner institutions for short- to mid-term research stays, ranging from a week to approximately two months.
We also conduct collaborative research with universities, research institutes, and companies in Japan.
We support students in developing their expertise and research capabilities from undergraduate research to Master’s and doctoral studies. Students can present their work at academic conferences, publish in journal papers, and participate in international collaborations.
In the age of AI and robotics, students are encouraged not only to use existing technologies, but also to identify new challenges and create new value.
