Canada Research Chair in Advanced Micro/Nanofabrication and MEMS

该主席计划的主要目标是开发通过纳米技术和新颖的微/纳米制造工艺实现的 MEMS（微机电系统）创新技术。我们将研究与碳纳米管集成的 MEMS，以实现革命性的设备性能和功能。将研究用于智能植入和显微外科应用的医疗微型设备，以实现先进的微创诊断和治疗。目标设备包括自适应支架和覆膜支架、脑动脉瘤无线传感器以及磁共振成像 (MRI) 引导手术设备，为对抗血管和其他疾病提供新途径，同时扩大 MEMS 对医学工程和医疗保健领域的贡献。

The primary objective of this Chair program is to develop innovative technologies for MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) that are realized with nanotechnology and novel micro/nanofabrication processes. We will investigate MEMS integrated with carbon nanotubes toward achieving revolutionary device performance and functionalities. Medical microdevices for intelligent implants and microsurgical applications will be studied to enable advanced minimally invasive diagnosis and therapy. Targeted devices include adaptive stents and stent grafts, brain aneurysm wireless sensors, and devices for magnetic-resonance-imaging (MRI) guided surgery, offering new paths to fighting vascular and other diseases while expanding contributions of MEMS to medical engineering and healthcare areas.
