Welcome to the MISEC research group

A variety of micro-devices contains interacting electronic, electro-mechanical and optoelectronic components, which need to be aligned statically or dynamically. Conventional static alignment is often performed before the sealing process using high precision pick-and-placing in combination with adjustable bonding processes (such as U.V. curable glue), or reflow effects. There are however instances where an alignment has to be performed after the sealing of the package.

     The presence of specific indicator organisms such as coliforms in seawater points to the possibility of contamination with faecal matter, consequently making the water and shellfish unsafe for human consumption. The source of the contamination either from human waste or other animals in large numbers can have a deleterious effect on coastal ecosystems and on human health, resulting in increased risks of conditions such as gastrointestinal illnesses following exposure to impacted shell fish and waters they inhabit.
