Congratulations to the students and researchers from IMG who were accepted to present at the 33rd IEEE MEMS 2020 Conference in Vancouver, Canada! IEEE MEMS is one of the largest conferences for MEMS experts to converge at. Overall, 11 papers from IMG were accepted out of 800+ abstracts submitted worldwide, as seen below:
Dr. David Arnold’s Group:
The speaker for this week's seminar is:
11:55am - 12:45pm: Dr. Yong Huang (Invited speaker - UF): Additive Manufacturing and its Applications to Three-Dimensional Bioprinting
Congratulations to IMG member Kartik Sondhi! Kartik won the award for best poster at the IDTechEx Show! in Santa Clara, CA last week. This conference focuses on emerging technologies and is the biggest conference for research in printed electronics. Awesome work!
IMG welcomes its newest faculty member—Dr. Jennifer Andrew from the UF Department of Materials Science and Engineering! Dr. Andrew and her group have collaborated with IMG on various projects since she joined the UF faculty in 2011, and her research interests include developing functional nano materials for biomedical and electronic applications. As such, she’s a natural fit!
Glad to have you on board!
The speaker for this week's seminar is:
11:55am - 12:45pm: Dr. G. Bahar Basim (Invited speaker - UF): A Review on Controlling Nano-Scale Chemically Modified Thin Films for Microelectronics Processes Development
Congratulations to Kartik Sondhi (advised by Dr. Nishida and Dr. Fan), Renuka Bowrothu (advised by Dr. Yoon), and Kangfu Chen (advised by Dr. Fan) on winning the 2019 IMG Excellence in Research Award! After a long deliberation, the IMG faculty and students selected these members for this award to show appreciation for their research efforts and contributions to their respective fields. May we all aspire to such a level of achievement!
