Recent Activities
Students in my "Heterogeneous Microsystems Technologies" class conceived and designed MEMS devices functioning like a microscale version of the Olympic Hoberman Arch, located adjacent to the 2002 Olympic venue, Rice-Eccles Stadium. This led to participation during
2006 & 2007 of the students in the Sandia National Labs, University Alliance Design Competition, and the awarding both years of fabrication and characterization support for these devices.
Teaching
ME EN 6055 Microsystems
Design and Characterization, 4 credits.
Fall Semester, MEB 2325
Tuesday: 3-3:30 lab lecture
