Abstract:
In this talk, Zaghoul will discuss her research activities on varieties of micro/nano sensors for biosensor and chemical sensor applications. The varieties of sensors to be discussed include MEMS/NEMS structures, nanowires, 2-D materials and optical nanoantenna structures. Nano-fabrication techniques used to realize these structures will be discussed. The different nanostructures' sensitivity and selectivity are compared. Recent chemical sensors using optical nanoantenna and their biomedical applications will be discussed.
About the Speaker:
Mona Zaghloul, Ph.D., is a professor and former Chair (1994-1998, 2009-2014) in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the George Washington University in Washington, DC. She is also the Director of the Institute of MEMS and VLSI Technology at the George Washington University. She earned her Ph.D. and M.A.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, and Master's degree in Applied Analysis and Computer Science from University of Waterloo, Canada. Her publications, lectures, research and professional service in IEEE have helped to create the scientific foundation for sensors and MEMS/NEMS systems. She pioneered techniques for CMOS-MEMS sensor designs using post-processing fabrication steps of CMOS chips to integrate sensors and circuit chips. She has over 300 publications that include numerous papers on sensors and their applications in chemical and biological systems.
Zaghloul is a Life Fellow of IEEE and received numerous awards including the IEEE Circuits and Systems Jubilee Golden Medal for outstanding contribution to the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, May 2000. She was the President of the IEEE Sensors Council (2009-2010).
