Dr. Wanda Wosik graduated with MS and PhD degrees from Warsaw University of Technology, Electronics Department. She worked at The Institute of Electron Technology CEMI (Research and Development Center for Semiconductors) in Warsaw, Poland on developing silicon processing for technologies used in bipolar and MOS integrated circuits. She joined UH in 1986 as a visiting assistant professor. Her research at UH has been concentrated on developing integrated processes for VLSI and ULSI CMOS based on both traditional and novel materials such as borides. Her recent research program focuses on MEMS for biological applications (BioMEMS), which include multiparametric characterization of biosamples as well as for cell culturing on micropatterned silicon.
