The research program in our laboratory focuses on the development of novel sensors and control systems for automotive and biomedical applications. The sensors and control systems developed in our lab often serve as enabling technologies that make important new mechanical devices and systems possible.
 
MEMS Absolute Angle Sensor
 
 
Examples of new systems under development in our lab include ultra-small muscle sensors for quantification of neuromuscular diseases, tactile micro-sensors for minimally invasive medical applications, tire sensors for measurement of slip angle, slip ratio and tire-road friction coefficient and battery-less wireless sensors for traffic flow measurements.
Carbon Nanotubes
 
 
 
The ACML's research skills cover a broad range of mechanical engineering including development of new sensing principles, MEMS device design, MEMS fabrication, dynamic modeling, control system design, vehicle dynamics and analysis of noise and vibrations.
