Ecosystems Technology and Design for Nanoelectronics

Pasqualina M. Sarro (M’84 SM’97 F’07) received the Laurea degree (cum laude) in solid-states physics from the University of Naples, Italy, in 1980. From 1981 to 1983, she was a post-doctoral fellow in the Photovoltaic Research Group of the Division of Engineering, Brown University, Rhode Island, U.S.A. In 1987, she received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering at the Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. Since then, she has been with the Delft Institute of Microsystems and Nanoelectronics (DIMES), at the Delft University, where she is responsible for research on integrated silicon sensors and MEMS technology. In December 2001 she became A.van Leeuwenhoek Professor and since 2004 she is the head of the Electronic Components, Materials and Technology Laboratory of the Delft University. In 2004 she received the EUROSENSORS Fellow Award for her contribution to the field of sensor technology. In April 2006 she became member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) and in November 2006 she was elected IEEE Fellow for her contribution to micromachined sensors, actuators and microsystems. She has authored and co-authored more than 400 journal and conference papers. She is a member of the technical program committee for several international conferences (IEEE MEMS, IEEE Sensors, Eurosensors, Transducers); Technical Program Co-chair for the First IEEE Sensors 2002 Conference and Technical Program Chair for the Second and Third IEEE Sensors Conference (2003 and 2004); General co-chair of IEEE MEMS 2009.
