Welcome to the Sensor Lab!

The Sensors Lab, under the direction of Dr. Tolga Kaya focuses on developing sensor systems for biological and environmental applications. Micro-electro-mechanical System (MEMS) design and fabrication techniques are combined with microelectronic circuit design methods. In particular, we focus on;

  • capacitive acceleration and humidity sensors,
  • micro-battery fabrication and energy harvesting techniques,
  • power conditioning and sensor interface circuits.
