Seminar today, 3:15 - 4:15: On

** 3:15 - 4:15 in Allen 101X ***

The E342 seminar today is from Dr. Omer Oralkan, who is working with
Prof. Pierre Khuri-Yakub on design, fabrication, and applications of MEMS
Ultrasound Arrays.

You'll learn about MEMS for ultra sound and how to make use of
seminar that will give you insight into both MEMS ultra sound technology
and how to use the SNF productively in your research.

Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers: A Platform Technology
for Imaging, Therapy, Sensing, and More

Speaker:
Dr. Omer Oralkan
E. L. Ginzton Laboratory
Stanford University

Abstract:
Historically, piezoelectric materials have dominated ultrasonic
transducer technology. In the last decade capacitive micromachined
ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) have emerged as an alternative. This
talk will present an overview of the CMUT technology including basic
operating principles, fabrication methods, and application examples
such as medical diagnostic imaging and chemical/biological sensing.
