Research:
Dr. Tang's research focuses on applications of microscale and nanoscale engineering for information technology and biomedical sciences. He is initiating new projects in ultra-low-power, high-Q and high-frequency resonators for wireless communications and signal processing, biological fuel cells and single-cell physiology and engineering.

The technologies that Dr. Tang previously has developed enable several key functions for highly-miniaturized spacecraft, including propulsion, navigation and environmental sensing. His contributions also encompass the use of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) in the automotive industry, including crash sensors for air-bag deployment systems. The creator of the electrostatic comb drive, which is widely regarded as one of the key building blocks in the MEMS field, Dr. Tang also holds two patents for automotive accelerometers and has authored more than 40 papers in the MEMS field.
In the long term, Dr. Tang will continue to develop new tools for cellular and molecular biomedical research, as well as MEMS devices that are characterized by significant performance advantages over microelectronic counterparts in frequency-domain signal processing.
