Infotech Oulu Workshop 2005 on Optoelectronics Devices and Instrumentation: MEMS, NEMS and optical microsystems

Oulu, July 28-30, 2005

Infotech Oulu Workshop 2005

Infotech Oulu Workshop 2005 fifth in series on Optoelectronic Devices and Instrumentation concentrating this time on ‘MEMS, NEMS and optical microsystems’, will be organized in July 28-30, 2005. The workshop will be lectured in English and is intended for advanced undergraduate and post-graduate students with some background in optics, optoelectronics devices and their manufacturing techniques.

The workshop is closely associated with, and funded by, the Infotech Oulu Graduate School, Graduate School of Modern Optics and Photonics (Joensuu). Graduate students receive tentatively two credit points (2 ov.) by successfully passing the course.

Workshop contents

Introduction to MEMS and micromachining
MEMS and NEMS, tool for bio/nano technologies
Prof. Hiroyuki Fujita, University of Tokyo, Japan

Organic material and printing processes for optical and electronics µ-systems
Printable and polymeric MEMS and NEMS
Prof. Ghassan Jabbour, Arizona State University, USA

Workshop consists of approximately 16 lecture hours. A recreational social program, which also aims at promoting discussions with instructors and between participants, is an integral part of the workshop.

At the end of the workshop a final examination is arranged for graduate students, who are required to read the preparatory material delivered in advance. Financial support is available to the students of the graduate schools.
