The Center for Wireless Integrated MicroSystems (WIMS) have collaborated
to oversee the release of Comprehensive Microsystems – a major, three-volume
reference set. This publication is a major educational output of
WIMS, an NSF-funded Engineering Research Center, and expands the reach
of this program far beyond its core members of the University of Michigan,
where WIMS is headquartered, Michigan State University and Michigan Technological
University.
Comprehensive Microsystems
shows WIMS’ international reach and leadership in the research community,
and is the result of a research alliance on microelectromechanical systems
(MEMS). The volumes were edited by University of Michigan professor
Yogesh Gianchandani, Kyoto University Professor Osamu Tabata, and University
of Freiburg professor Hans Zappe; WIMS Director Ken Wise wrote the forward;
and chapters were written by the leading worldwide authorities on a very
broad array of topics, including materials, fabrication, packaging, system
design, actuation mechanisms, physical sensing, chemical and biological
systems, optical systems, industrial applications, and several emerging
topics.
The book series is an outstanding
resource and window on an exciting new frontier that can be used not only
at WIMS’ member universities, but also at academic and research institutions
throughout the world as the field grows. |
