Microelectromechanical Systems Lab | Mechanical Engineering

Welcome to the MEMS Lab!

Meet the Lab Director - Professor Sang-Joon (John) Lee

John Lee conducts predominantly experimental research on microscale systems, for which applications over the years have included tissue mechanics, energy materials, additive manufacturing, and display technologies.

Purpose Statement

The Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) Laboratory in the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Charles W. Davidson College of Engineering at San José State University focuses on research and education in engineering at the microscale level. The lab provides a dynamic and versatile setting for research and education in microsystem technologies. Sharing synergistic resources and knowledge with the Microscale Process Engineering Laboratory (MPEL) and the Materials Characterization and Metrology Center (MCMC), the lab hosts hands-on classes including ME 168 (microfluidics), ME 169 (MEMS) and MATE 145 (scanning probe microscopy).

Recent Projects & Facilities

Instron ElectroPuls E1000

This dynamic testing system has been used to measure fatigue softening of composite polymer electrolytes, to understand potential degradation mechanisms in all-solid-state batteries.

See the Research

Agilent 5500

This atomic force microscope has been used to characterie the nanoscale surface topography of plasma-treated microchannel surfaces for biosensing.

See the Research

Airbus RPM 2.0

This random positioning machine is presently being used to conduct studies on vascular flow and its effects on cells in simulated microgravity for space applications
