Microsystems Technology Group

The University of Glasgow Microsystems Technology Group (MST) has a long history of research and development of readily marketable technologies, including:

• Combined electronic sensor and actuator systems
• Medical diagnostic devices
• Integrated single-chip CMOS sensor arrays
• Wireless sensors
• Terahertz technology integration
• Hardware and software data manipulation of sensor systems


As a group we explore new research pathways making use of the Glasgow Electronics Design Centre VLSI analog/digital/mixed-signal design and test facilities to build our transducer properties from commercial CMOS manufacturing capabilities. To tailor our devices when needed we use the James Watt Nanofabrication Centre facilities for custom fabrication. The research orientation of the MST group is geared with an outwarded perspective into several disciplines from the UK and multinational universities. Our work has a world influence over leading electronic and healthcare companies and continues to attract extensive funding and support by government research bodies and industrial partners.
