Description

Recent advances in MEMS sensors have enabled sensors at scales smaller than the wavelength being detected in different physics domains, such as acoustics and photonics. NPS modeling and microfabrication work has produced several generations of devices for different applications for underwater, surface and space applications. Acoustic sensors, metamaterial perfect absorbers, terahertz sensors are some examples. Current designs continue to be refined. Research interests include the design through finite element modeling, development of microfabrication fabrication techniques and characterization of novel MEMS sensors and metamaterial structures. We seek applicants with strong hands-on expertise in finite element modeling and microfabrication processes.
