Universal Testing Platform for MINT Center PIs: Yung-Cheng Lee, Victor M. Bright, Martin Dunn, Steve George Project field/specialty: MEMS, microdevices, nanomaterials, characterization, transducers, integrated, nanotubes, nanowires Project Description: The University of Colorado is the lead institution of the DARPA Focus Center on Nanoscale Science and Technology for Integrated Micro/Nano-Electromechanical Transducers (iMINT). Professor Y. C. Lee is the Principal Investigator for this Center, and professors Victor Bright, Martin Dunn, and Steven George are additional collaborating members of the center at the University of Colorado. The iMINT Center also includes collaborators at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Northwestern University, the University of Texas at Austin, and Columbia University. This center aims to develop device technologies that allow integration of nanomaterials, such as nanotubes and nanowires, into functional, novel, reproducible devices. One key aspect of the work of this center is the development of a “MEMS Coupon” and a Universal Testing Platform (UTP) to enable reproducible characterization of nanotubes and nanowires, and potentially other nanomaterials. Students Brown, Baca, and Luu are working under the supervision of Professor Bright to develop these technologies. Funding Source: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)
