General Introduction Dr. Sam Kassegne holds a Ph.D. degree in engineering mechanics from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. His research interests are in the areas of MEMS, integrated micro- and nano-fabrication technologies, and bio-nanoelectronics. His experimental research work is focused primarily in Organic-MEMS, novel applications of microfluidics/nanofluidics and microarray technology, new bio-nanoelectronics platforms, as well as polymer photovoltaic technology. His lab has a strong focus on developing the next generation of integrated micro- and nano-lithography technology for a variety of application areas. Other focus areas include MEMS-based IMUs. Dr. Kassegne has an extensive industrial experience in MEMS, biotech and computational sciences acquired through his employment at Nanogen, Microfabrica and Bentley Systems in Southern California as well as consultancy work for Corning, SAIC, Nevada Nanotech, OxyHeal, and Nokia. His research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, San Diego Foundation, CSUPERB, AlphaTec, and Amco (Korea). He has also taught MEMS & FEA courses at UCSD and UCI.

Summary
of Research We
are a research group in the mechanical engineering department of
San Diego State University in southern California. Our team
includes mechanical, biomedical, chemical, electrical as well as
materials engineers. Our research areas include MEMS, micro-
and nano-fabrication, bio-nanoelectronics, microfluidics/nanofluidics,
polymer-based photovoltaic technology, emerging technologies in
IMUs (applications in cell phone, navigation systems, and image
stabilization), and computational sciences (modeling multi-physics
and reaction engineering in life sciences and electrochemical systems).
Our group collaborates with researchers at our institution and other
national MEMS programs (including the various academic and industrial
groups that spun-off the core Nanogen technology). We also
have an active international program involving seminars and joint
research. Our new class 100 cleanroom facility (400 sq. ft.) is
equipped for most lithography processes as well as some characterizations
including 0.25 micron resolution deep UV lithography capability
with Micrascan III step and scan litho system. Current
