Micro and Nanosystems Group

Microsystem technology is a fast growing industry producing a variety of products such as pressure sensors and accelerometers to the automotive industry as well as printeheads for ink jet printers.

At our group at MC2, Chalmers, research is focused on carbon nanotubes, different kinds of sensors including biodiagnostic sensors, AFM sensors and mass flow sensors. Integration of optics in microsystem technology is an exciting field which is also included in our research. In this field the research is focused on laser beam steering and micromirrors. We are a cross-disciplinary group and have collaborations with both industry and university partners.
