Overview
About the program
The Doctoral Program in Microsystems and Microelectronics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne lies at the intersection of micro/nano electronics, micro/nano systems, and bioengineering.
We cover the knowledge chain from novel material systems (silicon, graphene, flexible/stretchable, etc) to new device and/or sensor principles up to their use in innovative system applications, including circuit design for micro/nano-sensor interfacing and advanced power management for ambient intelligence applications.
Products and applications based on microelectronic and microsystem technologies are today driving forces in the world economy affecting nearly every aspect of life: education, entertainment, transportation, personal communications and the basic infrastructure of our economy, medicine, engineering, space exploration and science.
