| Abstract | ABSTRACT: Results of a 6-month IREE research trip to ETH Zurich in Switzerland are presented. During the trip, the researcher performed gas phase experiments with a chemical microsensor platform to explore and optimize its sensitivity and limit of detection. The results are to be presented at the IEEE Transducers 2009 Conference in Denver, Colorado. The researcher was immersed in Swiss culture during his stay, took a German course at ETH Zurich, and developed an international network of collaborators. |

| Bio | Stuart Truax received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2005 and 2006, respectively. He is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in electrical engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His research focuses on the application of resonant microstructures to chemical sensing. Oliver Brand is an Associate Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He received his diploma degree in Physics from Technical University Karlsruhe, Germany in 1990 and his Ph.D. degree from ETH Zurich, Switzerland in 1994. From 1995 to 1997, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Georgia Institute of Technology. From 1997 to 2002, he was a lecturer at ETH Zurich in Zurich, Switzerland and deputy director of the Physical Electronics Laboratory (PEL). Dr. Brand has co-authored more than 140 publications in scientific journals and conference proceedings. He is a co-editor of the Wiley-VCH book series Advanced Micro and Nanosystems, a member of the editorial board of Sensors and Materials, a member of the technical program and steering committees of the IEEE MEMS Conference, and has served as General Co-Chair of the 2008 IEEE International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS 2008). Dr. Brand is a senior member of the IEEE and a co-recipient the 2005 IEEE Donald G. Fink Prize Paper Award. His research interests are in the areas of silicon-based microsystems, microsensors, MEMS fabrication technologies, and microsystem packaging. |
