Student has a solid grasp of the material

Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Student Muhemmad Yassin got a microelectromechanical (MEMS) gripper to grasp this conductive fiber as part of his summer research in the IMPACT REU program. This project aims to create a porous, breathable packaging system for MEMS in wearable and flow-through applications. Muhemmad is now taking the project on the road …

A gripping presentation

Here is Sushmita’s talk from the 2021 Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference on designing microelectromechanical system (MEMS) layouts that align with one-of-a-kind structures like a piece of fabric. Most fabrics do have a uniform and predictable structure that can be described by a measurement such as “threads per inch.” However, threads do not have the …
