Research Labs

BioInstrumentation Lab - Research involving development of innovative methods of analyzing medical and biological systems. Major research thrusts include in-shoe motion analysis, to evaluating stability in older adults and to provide real-time feedback for persons with prosthetics, and development of a vibro-tactile threshold tester for workplace evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome.

C-SAFE - Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction

Center of Excellence for Biomedical Microfluidics - The Center is dedicated to the discovery, understanding, development and commercialization of microscale and MEMS devices for application to biological, biomedical, and medical problems.

Environmental Fluid Dynamics Laboratory - The work done at the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Laboratory at the University of Utah attempts to further the understanding of fluid flow phoenomena in the natural world. To this end, the laboratory employs a variety of state of the art scientific investigation techniques including: large scale field measurements (both Urban and Rural), numerical modeling and simulation and laboratory scale measurements.

Haptics and Embedded Mechatronics Lab - Research related to haptics, tactile sensing and feedback, telesurgery, climbing robots, and manufacturing of multi-functional structures.

Microfab - The interdisciplinary Utah Micro-and Nano-Scale Science and Engineering Core Laboratories support innovation, education, research, and technology transfer.

Nanofab - This site describes the basis for a substantial investment, an infrastruture seed investment of $25M within USTAR followed by a staged Utah Nano Initiative, into Utah's competitiveness nationally and world-wide within the discipline of nanotechnology, including existing areas of U of U Nano Research.

Precision Design Lab - The Precision Design Lab focuses on precision engineering, micro- and nanomachining, engineering analysis, and product design.
