Vision
To study and understand actuation, sensing and control mechanisms of microorganisms and apply the findings to design and fabricate biologically integrated and/or inspired microscale engineering systems.

The MicroN BASE lab was founded by Professor Behkam within the mechanical engineering department. The research interests cover the study of micro/nano-robotics, biophysics of bacteria motility and adhesion, etc. A detailed overview of the projects can be seen on the research page.
