The Micro and Nanosystems Lab invites applications for Ph.D. student positions. We are seeking applicants who have a desire to conduct cutting-edge research within the area of biomedical MEMS.
As a Ph.D. student in MEMS you will be part of an interdisciplinary research team that consists of members with different professional and cultural backgrounds.
One doctoral project aims to develop a minimally invasive probe to extract sap from plants over an extended period of time. The work includes developing the technical platform and evaluating it in relevant models and in plants.
