MNTR Members

Members of the MNTR group are specialists in a range of technical areas related to microsystem development and application. They have a variety of backgrounds that combine to create an environment of unconventional thinking and creative problem solving. This approach is backed up by a solid base of analytical skill and honed by continuous growth through research, discussion, and collaboration inside and outside the MEMS/Nano community.
