Overview


Welcome to the website of the Laboratory for Intelligent Machine Systems (LIMS). This lab, directed by Professor Ephrahim Garcia, is dedicated to the research and development of multi-disciplinary engineering systems in a variety of fields. Our projects encompass both micro- and mesoscale systems and range from biological to aerospace applications, to name a few. Although our research areas are eclectic, the underlying theme to this lab is to apply new technologies and research to classical fields in order to push the limits of what is achievable.
