About the Laboratory & Research Area
The BMM Laboratory develops semiconductor-based microsystems that read biological signals and act on tissue. We design and fabricate ultrasound transducers, flexible microelectrode arrays, and resonant MEMS sensors in house, and integrate them at the system level so that sensing and stimulation operate as a closed loop within a single device. The laboratory covers the full path from device fabrication through system integration to in vivo studies, extending toward brain-computer interfaces and neural circuit-based therapeutics.
