IMG Professor, Dr. David Arnold, was recently awarded the HWCOE Faculty Leadership Award! This award recognizes faculty excellence in leadership, and those who go above and beyond in representing the values of our college. Congratulations, Dr. Arnold!

Congratulations to IMG Member Sunghyun Hwang and IMG Professor Yong-Kyu Yoon, on their recent publication in the journal IEEE Photonics Technology Letters! In this work, titled, “Silicon Phononic Nanowires Enable Ultra-Low Thermal Conductivity Measured by Raman Spectroscopy”, a novel device structure and precise measurement technique were introduced to assess the thermal conductivity of PnC-supported Si MEMS pixels using vacuum-based Raman spectroscopy.

Congratulations to IMG Professor, Dr. Xin Tang, and IMG Members, Keming Li, Miao Huang, and Chenyu Liang, on their recent publication in the journal Oncogene! This work, titled “Biophysics in tumor growth and progression: from single mechano-sensitive molecules to mechanomedicine”, highlights cancer mechanics ranging from molecular and cellular level to tissue level and clarifies functional crosstalk between mechanotransduction and oncogenic signaling.

IMG will have a strong presence at this year's IEEE International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (IEEE MEMS 2024) from January 21^st to January 25^th.

If you find yourself at the conference, please try to stop by their works. A big congratulations to all the authors below!

Oral

Congratulations to IMG member Faysal Hakim from Tabrizian Group on his recent Nature Electronics publication titled “A ferroelectric-gate fin microwave acoustic spectral processor.”

In this article, Faysal and co-authors have demonstrated how extending the active area of nano-acoustic resonators to the third dimension enables extensive benefits for frequency scaling, massive arraying, and integration.
