NanoFab & BioMEMS Lab @UCF

[ Professor | PhD | MS | Former Member | Visitor ]

Dr. Hyoung Jin "Joe" Cho is Director of NanoFab & BioMEMS Lab. He is an Associate Professor in the Mechacnical, Materials and Aerospace Engineering (MMAE) and the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Departments at the University of Central Florida. He earned his Ph. D. in Electrical Engineering with the specialty of MEMS and BioMEMS from the University of Cincinnati in 2002.  His current research interests include micro-optical sensors for biochemical applications, micromachined electrochemical sensors, polymer-based microfluidic devices, MEMS magnetic sensors/actuators, and fundamental MEMS processes such as UV-LIGA, electrodeposition and packaging. He is a recipient of NSF CAREER award in 2004.

Hyungseok Bang is a Ph. D. candidate in the NanoFab & BioMEMS group at University of Central Florida. His main research interest is developing integrated optic sensors for biochemical application. Currently he is pursuing his research in cooperation with the Multiple Quantum Well group in the College of Optics & Photonics: CREOL & FPCE



 
Ghanashyam Londe is a Ph.D student in the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Central Florida. He received his Bachelors degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering from B.V.B College of Engg & Tech, India. He is currently working with Dr. Cho on UV Nanoimprint techniques, Hydrogen sensing using Titania Nanotubes and Passive Switchable valves. His research interests include Nanofabrication, BioMEMS and Signal Processing.





 
Andrea Wesser, E.I., is a Doctoral student at the University of Central Florida. Her specific area of research is in cell chips for stem cell interactions. Andrea is a National Science Foundation IGERT SKINS Fellow, under a joint project, between UCF and USF, to create a skin-mimicked sensor. She has presented numerous times at the national and regional conferences of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Society of Women Engineers in a wide range of topics, from new and old technologies, to outreach ideas to even leadership skills. In 2005, she was recognized by USA Today for her efforts in SWE.

Peng Zhang is a Ph.D student in the department of Mechanical, Materials and Aerospace Engineering (MMAE) of The University of Central Florida. He is interested in MEMS hydrogen sensor, Micro Molding, and NIL (nano imprint lithography).



Ehsan Tafti is a Ph. D. student in the MMAE. He has earned his MSc in Biomedical Engineering (Biomechanics) and BSc in Mechanical Enginering (Thermofluids) from Tehran Polytechnique University, Tehran, Iran. His research interest includes Computational Fluid Dynamics and Fluid-Structure Interaction Problems. He studied Coupled Fluid-Wall Modeling of Steady Flow in Stenotic Carotid Arteries when he pursued his MSc. Since joining the NanoFab & BioMEMS Lab, he has been investigating the mixing phenomena at the micro/nano scale.
