Facilities

Our lab is located in the northeast corner of Harvard's Cambridge campus. See below for a map:

The lab was completed in the Spring of 2006 and consists of work stations equipped with power, network, compressed air, nitrogen, and vacuum. Additionally, there is a fume hood, 'wet' area for materials synthesis, and an environmentally controlled (air pressure, lighting, temperature) room for sensitive measurements.


The lab houses equipment for meso- and micro- fabrication, materials synthesis and characterization, rapid prototyping, high-speed and traditional videography, imaging, electronics prototyping, and real-time control. The following is a partial list of our equipment:

Excimer laser micromachining system (TeoSys, Inc)

InVision SR 3D printer (3D Systems)

Computer-controlled vacuum oven

Custom composite vacuum bagging fixtures

Versalaser VLS2.30 (Universal Laser Systems)

Convection oven with integrated vacuum (custom)

pco1200hs high-speed camera (Cooke Camera)

Real-time controller based upon the xPC toolbox (Matlab)
and the Q8 AD/DA board (Quanser Consulting)

Electronics prototyping and PCB assembly (Zephyrtronics, various)

Electronics testing (various)

Spin coater (G3-8 from Specialty Coating Systems)

Optical microscopy and imaging stations (Zeiss, Canon)
