Intro
HMNTL is one of the country's largest and most sophisticated university facilities for conducting photonics, microelectronics, biotechnology, and nanotechnology research. Our 15 class 100 and 1000 cleanrooms, 46 general purpose labs, and 2,500 square foot biosafety level-2 bionanotechnology complex contain all the tools researchers need to conduct their work.
Device Characterization Labs
Offers a variety of ultra-high-speed optical and electrical measurement and test equipment.
Cleanroom Labs
9000 square feet of class 100 and class 1000 cleanroom space with all the equipment needed for fabrication of high-performance devices encompassing a wide range of applications.
BioNanotechnology Laboratory
Allows interdisciplinary biological and micro and nanotechnology research experiments to be carried out simultaneously—all under the same roof.
2030 STRATEGIC PLAN
Looking into the 10-year horizon, we envision that HMNTL, building on a legendary cross-disciplinary legacy, can become a national and world leader in several emerging research areas with the highest societal and technological impact.
The major research thrusts are envisioned in high-speed electronics, photonics, quantum technologies, nanoscale low-power computing devices, power electronics, translational biotechnologies and neurotechnologies.
