The Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology’s USER Day 2016

Primary tabs

The IEN hosted its third User Science and Engineering Review (USER) Day on Tuesday, May 17th, 2016 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM in the Marcus Nanotechnology Building. With over 120 IEN cleanroom and lab users in attendance, a wide array of academic disciplines was represented including MEMS, Electronics, Materials, Optics and Photonics, Chemistry, Physics, Life Sciences and Biomedical. The event was a success in providing an opportunity to learn about the latest research activities of IEN students and other research organizations that use the IEN facilities.

Based on feedback from previous USER Day attendees, the 2016 USER Day implemented a new format designed to be more interactive. The event opened with a welcome by IEN Executive Director Dr. Oliver Brand, followed by featured keynote speaker, Dr. Ryan Diestelhorst, CTO and Founder at NextInput, two evaluated poster sessions, and a networking session hosted during an afternoon ice-cream social.

The winners of the poster sessions for USER Day 2016 are:

Reza Abbaspour: Electrical and Computer Engineering
