About the speaker :
Robert Puers was born in Antwerp, Belgium, 1953. He studied electrical engineering both in Gent and in Leuven, where he obtained his Ph.D. in 1986.
>From 1980 he was employed as a Research Assistant at the Laboratory ESAT at K.U.Leuven. In 1986 he became Director (NFWO) of the clean room facilities for silicon and hybrid circuit technology at the ESAT-MICAS laboratories of the same University. He was a pioneer in the European research efforts in silicon micromachined sensors, MEMS and packaging techniques, for biomedical implantable systems as well as for industrial devices. In addition, he worked on implantable telemetry systems, with the emphasis on low power intelligent interface circuits and on inductive power and communication links.
At present, he is as a full professor at the K.U.Leuven, teaching courses in 'Microsystems and Sensors', in 'Biomedical Instrumentation and Stimulation' in 'Production techniques for microelectronics', and basic courses in 'Electronics, System Control and Information Technology'. He is the author or co-author of more than 400 papers on biotelemetry, sensors, MEMS and packaging in reviewed journals or international conferences.
He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics (UK), council member of the International Microelectronics and Packaging Society (IMAPS), member of the Electon Device Society (EDS) and many others.
He is Editor-in-Chief of the IOP Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering, and acted as the General Program Chairman for Transducers'07 in Lyon.
