MEMS Sensing and neural-computing Lab - Mohammad Hasan

Mohammad Hasan is a Ph.D. candidate in Mechanical and materials engineering (MME). His research is focused on applications of Mico-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). Mohammad H Hasan has worked on multiple projects aiming to use MEMS devices as sensors (such as temperature, humidity and pressure sensors) and MEMS response amplification using their mechanical and electrical resonances simultaneously (double resonance excitation). 

Currently, Mohammad is working on using MEMS devices as smart computing devices by either utilizing a network of MEMS devices to construct a physical network of electromechanical pesudo-neurons. Mohammad's research also includes using the nonlinear dynamics of MEMS devices to perform computation at the sensor level using the concept of reservoir computing.
