MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) and nanotechnology are highly significant due to their ability to miniaturize, integrate, and enhance the performance of devices and systems. These technologies enable the development of smaller, lighter, and more efficient devices, opening up new possibilities across industries such as electronics, heal- thcare, aerospace, and automotive. They offer novel functionalities, exploiting unique properties at the micro and nanoscale. As a TC, we propose papers and publication, organize and operate special sessions, tracks, provide volunteers to review papers within our scope at IEEE IES flagship conferences.

Current research in the area of MEMS and Nanotechnology can be generally listed as follows.
