Al_0.7Sc_0.3N Acoustically Coupled Filters with Large Bandwidth and Frequency Tunability; Sushant Rassay, Faysal Hakim, Roozbeh Tabrizian, University of Florida, United States

IMG professor, Dr. Roozbeh Tabrizian, has been announced as the 2020-2023 Alan Hastings Faculty Fellow for his incredible work in the area of RF MEMS/NEMS resonators and transducers. Congratulations, and excellent work!

Congratulations to the students and researchers from IMG who were accepted to present at the 33^rd 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:

Soon to graduate PhD member of IMG and Dr. Tabrizian’s research group, Mayur Ghatge, recently published a great paper in Nature Electronics titled, “An Ultrathin Integrated Nanoelectromechanical Transducer Based on Hafnium Zirconium Oxide.” Awesome work Mayur!

Congratulations to Mayur Ghatge for being selected as the finalist for 'Outstanding Paper Award' in Oral category at The 20^th International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems (TRANSDUCERS 2019). He was selected for the demonstration of thinnest ever reported transducer based on 10nm ferroelectric Hafnium Zirconium Oxide film.

UF and IMG will be represented at the upcoming IEEE MEMS 2019 in January 2019 in Seoul, South Korea.

Congratulations to all of this year's IMG Award recipients, and a special thanks to all those who have contributed to our group. This year's kick-off meeting focused on the future of our group, and making it evident that "our most valuable asset is you". Let us continue working as a team and setting a precedent for research groups all around. 

The IMG Awards recognize outstanding achievements and contributions of student members in our organization. The research award honors the exceptional academic impact the students have made in their field, and the service award acknowledges the hard work the students have put into improving and maintaining the quality of IMG.

•  Xiao Jiang won the IMG Excellence in Research.
•  Nicolas Garraud and Richard Rode won the IMG Excellence in Service.
