MISSION
|
Environmentally-friendly technology is a rapidly growing research area and many micro and nano technologies are being developed to tackle the environmental problems. These technologies must enable the effective use of resources and energy in their realization and their application. Microtechnology is a tool that can contribute at mitigating environmental issues. The development of the next generation of Microsystems should lead to sustainable, reusable, recyclable and environmental friendly devices and systems. The research program of the Energy and Environmental MEMS at Samlab is towards microtechnologies for sustainable development, envisioning environmental friendly processes for MEMS production and their use in applications that could bring benefits to the environment.
Research areas and themes include:
• Environmental sensors and technologies based on MST
• Green microtechnologies and micromanufacturing
• Ultra low energy MEMS technologies: production and operation
• Energy saving technologies: green and environmental applications

BIOGRAPHY
|
Danick Briand received his B.Eng. degree and M.A.Sc. degree in engineering physics from École Polytechnique in Montréal, Canada, in collaboration with the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble (INPG), France, in 1995 and 1997, respectively. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in the field of micro-chemical systems from the Institute of Microtechnology (IMT), University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland in 2001. His Ph.D. led to the successful technological transfer of micromachined gas sensing platforms to industry. He is currently leading the research team on EnviroMEMS, Energy and Enviromental MEMS, at EPFL-IMT SAMLAB. He is in charge of European, national and industrial projects; he supervises doctoral students, and he is contributing to the educational program.
He is a member of the technical program committee of different major conferences on sensors and Microsystems (Transducers, Eurosensors, IEEE Sensors, PowerMEMS) and of the steering committee of the Eurosensors and ISOCS conferences. He is also involved in the organisation of educational and scientific events (International NAMIS school, chair of E-MRS symposiums, co-founder and chair of the Swiss e-Print conference, Program chair of Eurosensors 2009). He has been awarded the Eurosensors Fellowship in 2010. He has been author or co-author on more than 150 papers published in scientific journals and conference proceedings. He has delivered 20 invited talks in scientific conferences and workshops.
His research interests in the field of sensors and Microsystems include MEMS packaging and reliability, harsh environment sensors, polymeric and Power MEMS printed sensors, sensors and smart systems on foil, environmentally-conscious Microsystems, green microtechnologies and microfabrication, and the development of microsystems for environmental and energy applications.
