In 1983 he joined the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Calgary, where is presently a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Visiting Research Scientist at the National Institute of Nanotechnology in Edmonton. His current research interests focus on the basic research and application of bioelectric phenomena, fluid integrated circuits, BioMEMS, microfluidics, biomedical instrumentation and lab-on-a-chip technology for biotechnology/biomedical application. He is a member of IEEE and registered as a professional Engineer in the province of Alberta. |

 Gabriel M. Rebeiz
received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena,
in 1988. In September 1988, he joined the faculty of The University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, and was promoted
to Full Professor in 1998. He held short visiting professorships with the Chalmers University of Technology,
Göteborg, Sweden, Ecole Normale Superieur, Paris, France, and Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan. His research
interests include applying micromachining techniques and MEMS for the development of novel components and
subsystems for radars and wireless systems. He is also interested in Si/GaAs RF integrated circuit (RFIC)
design for receiver applications, and in the development of planar antennas and microwave/millimeter wave
front-end electronics for communication systems, automotive collision-avoidance sensors, monopulse tracking
systems, and phased arrays. Prof. Rebeiz was the recipient of the 1991 National Science Foundation
Presidential Young Investigator Award and the 1993 URSI International Isaac Koga Gold Medal Award for Outstanding
International Research. He was also the recipient of the 1995 Research Excellence Award presented by The
University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Together with his students, he was the recipient of Best Student Paper
Awards of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (IEEE MTT-S) (1992, 1999-1994), and the IEEE
Antennas and Propagation Society (IEEE AP-S) (1992, 1995). He was also the recipient of the 1990 Journées
Int. de Nice sur les Antennes (JINA) Best Paper Award, and the 1997 University of Michigan Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) Department Teaching Award. He was selected by his students as the
1997–1998 Eta Kappa Nu EECS Professor of the Year. He was also the recipient of the 1998 College of
Engineering Teaching Award and the 1998 Amoco Foundation Teaching Award, given yearly to one faculty member
of The University of Michigan at Ann Arbor for excellence in undergraduate teaching. He was the co-recipient
of the IEEE 2000 Microwave Prize for his work on MEMS phase shifters. |

Mr. Bob Sulouff is the Director of Business Development for the Micromachined products Division of Analog Devices Inc., Cambridge Massachusetts. He has lead the start-up of an Optical MEMS business area at Analog Devices recently, and is now addressing the longer term strategic opportunities in BioMEMS and RFMEMS as well as special projects. He joined ADI 10 years ago as the Product Line Director for Accelerometers and took the business from it's first sales to the world's major market share producer of accelerometers. Prior to ADI, for 6 years he was the Manager of Advanced Sensor Technology for Siemens Automotive, leading a MEMS R&D facility in the US and developing suppliers for production. Preceding Siemens he was the Manager of Advance Sensor for Honeywell, Solid State Electronics Center in Plymouth Minnesota for 4 years. Mr. Sulouff was the VP of Engineering and Technology at a start-up he help found, Insouth Microsystems, Auburn Alabama; where he invented the first commercial MEMS accelerometer (G-Chip). He has over 30 published papers, 2 patents in accelerometer design and is an active organizing member of several international technical conferences in MEMS. Educated at the University of Central Florida with BS and MS degrees in engineering materials with executive course work at MIT Sloan. |
