Biophotonics & Microsystems Laboratory
| About Us | |||
|
Background |
|||
| The Biophotonics & Microsystems Laboratory (BML) was established by Dr. Huikai Xie in 2003. BML is associated with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and is part of the Interdisciplinary Microsystems Group at the University of Florida. | |||

Mission |
|||
|
Our mission is to develop enabling micro/nanofabrication technology and build innovative integrated microsystems with improved performance, functionality and affordability for medical, industrial, space and consumer electronics applications. The current research activities include CMOS-MEMS fabrication, integrated inertial sensors, sensor interface circuits design, high-Q resonators, micromirrors, microlenses, electrothermomechanical modeling, and endoscopic biomedical imaging probes for OCT, confocal imaging and multi-photon imaging. |
