Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering - Micro and Nano Technology

The Mechanical Engineering department at UCSB has been developing a multidisciplinary approach to develop the information, mechanical, manufacturing, and biomechanical technologies that will dominate science and economy in the 21st century. We are making breakthroughs in the design, analysis, and control of nanometer scale structure and functions, where the top-down approach of electronics manufacture converges with the bottom-up assembly principles of nanomechanics and biology.
