Research Summary


Marc J. Madou and his group research and fabricate micro- and nano-machines with chemical and biological applications. Recent projects include a compact disc to conduct medical tests. Through a series of tiny reservoirs and channels, doctors might one day run medical tests with Madou’s novel CD by popping it into an ordinary CD player. Madou is also conducting experiments with a “smart pill” – an implantable device that senses the patient’s need for a certain drug and delivers the right amount of medicine at any moment. Another project involves building fractal-like carbon electrodes for improved electrochemical devices such as fuel cells, batteries and biosensors. Madou is the author of Fundamentals of Microfabrication, considered the bible for microscale research.
