Brief Vitae: Dean M. Aslam received his Ph.D. (Dr. rer. nat.) in Electrical Engineering (1983) and M.S. (Dipl.Phys.) in Physics (1979) from Aachen Technical
University (RWTH), Germany.

Dr. Aslam is Director of Micro and Nano Technology Lab (MANTL) and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Michigan State University. Dr. Aslam was Associate Director of NSF ERC for WIMS (jointly awarded to U. of Michigan, Mich. State U. and Mich. Tech. U.) during 2000 - 2010.

Current Research Areas:

• Inexpensive Single Material MEMS (SMM) Using Diamond
• SMM Neural Probes
• SMM RFMEMS for Wireless Communications
• Carbon based Nano Sensors and Systems
• System Integration Using Networked Robots with Integrated RFID Readers/Writers
• Functionalized Bricks with Embedded Intelligence (FBEI)
• Technology Assisted Psychology (TAP) Using FBEIs
• Study of Bullying Using Networked Robots and TAP
• Technology Assisted Cancer Education Using FBEIs
• Technology Assisted Dancing (TAD)

Dr. Aslam's group became the first to report:

1. Passive maple-seed robotic fliers (MRF) with onboard sensors, microcontroller and wireless interfaces in 2010,
2. Single material MEMS (SMM) in 2009,
3. Energy scavenging from static charges in 2008,
4. FBEI (functionalized bricks with embedded intelligence) modules in 2008,
5. An all-diamond neural/cochlear probe in 2007,
6. Incorporation of poly-C piezoresistive sensors in Si cochlear probes in 2006,
7. The highest quality factor 116,000 for poly-C cantilever beam resonators in 2005,
8. All-diamond MEMS packaging in 2004,
9. Field emission electroluminescence (FEEL) in poly-C in 2003,
10. An intra-grain piezoresistive gauge factor of 4000 in poly-C in 1997 and
11. Piezoresistivity in diamond and poly-C in 1991.

He has published over 185 papers and holds 10 US patents in the field. He was a recipient of German DAAD Fellowship during 1975 - 83. Dr. Aslam is Associate VP Americas of MANCEF, a senior member of IEEE and founding Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Nanosystems and Technology (IJNST).
