Roya Maboudian is distinguished professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the University of California,Berkeley, [1] and co-director of the Berkeley Sensor and Actuator Center. She also holds The John F. Heil,Jr. Chancellor's Chair in Chemical &Biomolecular Engineering,and is the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Affairs in the College of Chemistry at UC Berkeley. She has served as editor of the IEEE Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems and ACS Sensors,and as associate editor of IEEE/SPIE Journal on Microfabrication,Microlithography and Microsystems.
Maboudian obtained her B.S. in electrical engineering from the Catholic University in 1982. She went on to receive her M.S. and Ph.D. in Applied Physics at the California Institute of Technology in 1984 and 1988,respectively,under advisor David L. Goodstein and co-advisor Tom Tombrello. [2] She was a postdoctoral scholar at Penn State and an IBM fellow at UC Santa Barbara before moving to the University of California,Berkeley in 1993. She was one of the first women to earn tenure in the Chemical Engineering Department at Berkeley.
Maboudian's research is in the area of surface and materials science and engineering of micro/nanosystems,towards applications in sensing,health and environmental monitoring,energy technologies and sustainability. Her research has addressed several technological barriers in microsystems technologies. Her early Berkeley research involved pioneering fundamental studies of surface and interfacial phenomena in microelectromechanical systems. These studies paved the way for the development of surface modifications to combat the problem of stiction,considered a key bottleneck in MEMS commercialization. [3] Since then,her work has broadened to other aspects of materials and surfaces,including silicon carbide-based harsh environment sensing,chemical sensing, [4] gecko-inspired adhesives,supercapacitor energy storage devices and green construction.
MEMS is the technology of microscopic devices incorporating both electronic and moving parts. MEMS are made up of components between 1 and 100 micrometres in size,and MEMS devices generally range in size from 20 micrometres to a millimetre,although components arranged in arrays can be more than 1000 mm2. They usually consist of a central unit that processes data and several components that interact with the surroundings.
Microfabrication is the process of fabricating miniature structures of micrometre scales and smaller. Historically,the earliest microfabrication processes were used for integrated circuit fabrication,also known as "semiconductor manufacturing" or "semiconductor device fabrication". In the last two decades,microelectromechanical systems (MEMS),microsystems,micromachines and their subfields have re-used,adapted or extended microfabrication methods. These subfields include microfluidics/lab-on-a-chip,optical MEMS,RF MEMS,PowerMEMS,BioMEMS and their extension into nanoscale. The production of flat-panel displays and solar cells also uses similar techniques.
Carolyn Ruth Bertozzi is an American chemist and Nobel laureate,known for her wide-ranging work spanning both chemistry and biology. She coined the term "bioorthogonal chemistry" for chemical reactions compatible with living systems. Her recent efforts include synthesis of chemical tools to study cell surface sugars called glycans and how they affect diseases such as cancer,inflammation,and viral infections like COVID-19. At Stanford University,she holds the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professorship in the School of Humanities and Sciences. Bertozzi is also an Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) and is the former director of the Molecular Foundry,a nanoscience research center at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
