IMG PhD student, Faysal Hakim, received the Best Paper Award (runner up) at Hilton Head Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems Workshop (Hilton Head 2022).

The award-winning paper is titled “X-Band Ferroelectric-on-Si Fin Bulk Acoustic Resonators with f.Q of 0.8*10¹³.”

Congratulations to Faysal Hakim on receiving this prestigious award, and for representing IMG well.

Dicheng Mo, IMG PhD student and a member of Tabrizian group, is selected as a finalist for the 'Student Best Paper' competition at the 2022 IEEE International Frequency Control Symposium (IFCS), to be held in Paris this month. Dicheng, along with his co-authors Shaurya Dabas and Sushant Rassay, is demonstrating the first intrinsically configurable bulk acoustic wave resonator and filter with dual-frequency operation at 7 and 14 GHz. Congratulations to Dicheng and the co-authors, and best wishes for the competition.

IMG will be represented this month at the IEEE IFCS 2022.

The recent article titled, "Resolving Mechanical Properties and Morphology Evolution of Free-Standing Ferroelectric Hf_0.5Zr_0.5O₂" targets the accurate extraction of Young's modulus, built-in stress, and crystal morphology change upon release of hafnia-zirconia thin films. Hafnia-zirconia is uniquely positioned to revolutionize nanoscale transducers, allowing for nanomechanical sensors and actuators to be monolithically integrated within CMOS.

IMG PhD student, Troy Tharpe, received the Outstanding Paper Award at the 21st International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuator and Microsystems (Transducers 2021).

The paper that received the award is titled "IN-PLANE BULK ACOUSTIC RESONATORS USING 50NM-THICK NANO-LAMINATED FERROELECTRIC HF0.5ZR0.5O2."

Congratulations to Troy Tharpe, and the co-author Faysal Hakim, on receiving this prestigeous award, and representing IMG well.

IMG professor Dr. Roozbeh Tabrizian has been awarded the DARPA Director’s Fellowship—a prestigious award usually given to only a very few Young Faculty Award winners each year. Excellent work, and thank you for representing IMG so well!
