 STRACT\n\nMicro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) offer compact\, high-perf
 ormance hardware solutions for sensors and actuators\, communication\, tim
 ing\, ultrasonic imaging and stimulation\, and energy harvesting. If MEMS 
 can be embedded within integrated circuits (ICs)\, whether in standard CMO
 S or in emerging 3D heterogeneously integrated (3DHI) platforms\, trusted 
 foundries can dramatically increase their microelectronics capabilities wi
 th little to no modification to their process flow or packaging. Moreover\
 , embedded MEMS devices could provide chip-scale security through uniquely
  designed signatures.\n\nThis talk will focus on emerging opportunities fo
 r realizing MEMS functionality in ICs – both standard CMOS and emerging 
 platforms. Weinstein will consider the design of acoustically waveguided m
 odes achieved within standard CMOS technology. Methods for mode selection 
 and optimization\, confinement\, and focusing will be discussed. Weinstein
  will show both analytically and experimentally the ability to realize hig
 h-Q resonance modes in multiple IC platforms ranging from ~100 MHz to ~30 
 GHz. Dispersion engineering of the CMOS-stack acoustic metamaterial\, unde
 r strict design rule check (DRC) constraints\, to reduce spurious modes an
 d minimize radiative losses is discussed. Weinstein will also consider a c
 omplete model of these electromechanical devices for ease of system-level 
 integration using industry-standard circuit design tools and process desig
 n kits (PDKs) provided by the foundry. Looking forward to emerging materia
 ls in CMOS\, this talk will also address opportunities and challenges to f
 erroelectric transducers\, typically implemented for ferroelectric random 
 access memory (FRAM).\n\nBIOGRAPHY\n\nDana Weinstein is a professor in Pur
 due’s Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Se
 nior Research Fellow of the Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy. Prior to j
 oining Purdue in 2015\, Dr. Weinstein joined the Department of Electrical 
 Engineering and Computer Science at MIT as an assistant professor\, and se
 rved as an associate professor there between 2013 and 2015. She received h
 er B.A. in Physics and Astrophysics from University of California\, Berkel
 ey in 2004 and her Ph.D. in Applied Physics in 2009 from Cornell\, working
  on multi-GHz MEMS.\n\nWeinstein is a Purdue Faculty Scholar and a recipie
 nt of the NSF CAREER Award\, the DARPA Young Faculty Award\, the first Int
 el Early Career Award\, the first TRF Transducers Early Career Award\, and
  the IEEE IEDM Roger A. Haken Best Paper Award. Dr. Weinstein’s current 
 research focuses on innovative microelectromechanical devices for applicat
 ions ranging from MEMS-IC wireless communications and clocking to micro ro
 botic actuators and ultrasonic stimulation.
