Abstract
NanoMEMS exploits the convergence between nanotechnology and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) brought about by advances in the ability to fabricate nanometer-scale electronic and mechanical device structures. While the “Nano” aspect of this field is still in its early stages, and is not expected to reach maturity until well into the 21 st century, its “MEMS” aspect is a topic of much current and near-term impact in, for instance, inertial sensing, biomedicine, optical, RF/Wireless communications, and energy harvesting. In this context, we will begin this talk by discussing the fundamentals of NanoMEMS, in particular, as it relates to its most speculative and futuristic paradigms and applications, and then will focus on emerging applications that are poised to enable the exploding Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm.
Speaker
Héctor J. De Los Santos received the Ph.D. degree from the School of Electrical Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, in 1989. He is currently with NanoMEMS Research, LLC, Irvine, California, USA, a company he founded in 2002. He holds over 30 US, European. And Japanese patents, and is author of several textbooks, including, Introduction to Microelectromechanical (MEM) Microwave Systems (1999) and Understanding Nanoelectromechanical Quantum Circuits and Systems (NEMX) for the Internet of Things (IoT) Era Quantum Circuits and Systems (NEMX) for the Internet of Things (IoT) Era, (2019). From 2010-2011 he held a German Research Foundation (DFG) Mercator Visiting Professorship at the Institute for High-Frequency Technology and Electronics (IHE), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology/University of Karlsruhe (TH), Karlsruhe, Germany. In 2020, he was named Honorary Professor by Amity University, Noida, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, India. He is an IEEE Fellow.
