Tiny Technologies

A School-wide initiative, Tiny Technologies, or “TT,” seeks—through advanced, interdisciplinary research—to create new knowledge and novel technologies in the fast-moving fields of nano- and micro-scale technologies.

Tiny Technologies research covers projects ranging from atomic-level manipulation (e.g., nanocrystals) to the micro-scale (e.g., MEMS devices). It draws upon faculty expertise from departments across the School of Engineering and represents one of the broadest, most pervasive areas of study under way in the School today. These new developments promise to enhance our way of life in areas such as communication, health care, and transportation, among others.

Learn more about the scope of the TT initiative, or read an article from the School of Engineering’s e-newsletter, Engineering Our World.

More information about the initiative’s research programs and projects is available through the School’s departments, labs, and centers. You can also view a video of an example of current research in Tiny Technologies.

Opportunities to support or collaborate with the TT initiative are described here. You might also consider directing your gift to:
