Research Interest

Dr. Coe's research interests include the development of low-cost microfabrication techniques for MEMS devices, the fabrication of integrated microsystems, the development of MEMS-based medical systems, and the use of combustion as a power source for microsystems. His most recent research included the fabrication and testing of pneumatically actuated, microvalve arrays for modulating synthetic jet airflow.
