Sarah Mannen: Coordinated Control for Electrohydrodynamic Jet Printing
Electrohydrodynamic jet (E-jet) printing uses an electric field to print very small ink droplets. The advantage of this technique is that it can produce smaller features than traditional inkjet printers. My research focuses on coordinated control of multiple agents. For the E-jet system, this can be applied to coupling between multiple ink nozzles. The ability to coordinate multiple nozzles without undesirable electrical interference will allow increased printing throughput without sacrificing precision.
Erick Sutanto: Precision Motion Control
My research focuses on precision motion control for Electrohydrodynamic-Jet (E-Jet) printing. E-Jet printing is a nano-manufacturing technique utilizing high electrical potential difference to produce a very fine droplet diameter. The application of this printing technique varies from high resolution electronics manufacturing to Biology. I am currently expanding the capability of the system to print with multiple materials simultaneously.
