PhDTalks | Innovative Inertial MEMS: Micro-Systems for Motion Detection for New Fabrication Process

November 12 @ 17:15 - 18:30

The next appointment with the PhDTalks series will take place on Tuesday, November 12, in Fassò room (Building 4A), from 5:15 PM to 6:30 PM CET.

PhDTalks is a series of seminars and discussions among PhD students. The events aim to provide a space for networking among PhD students and to connect with the many projects developed in our department.

The speaker, Yassine Banani, will lead a seminar titled “Innovative Inertial MEMS: Micro-Systems for Motion Detection for New Fabrication Process.”

At the end of the event, there will be a small refreshment funded by the department.

The conference will also be available online at the following link.

Abstract

Navigation in environments without external references -such as open oceans or airspace above clouds- requires devices that can measure motion without the need to communicate directly with the outside world. This problem has found a solution in devices based on MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology. In particular, MEMS inertial sensors are now the most widely used option for accurately and reliably measuring accelerations and changes in orientation of an object in space. Due to their ability to detect motion and changes in orientation without the need for GPS signal or other external systems. MEMS devices are increasingly being applied in various fields, from air and sea navigation to autonomous vehicles. In this presentation we propose innovative devices that take advantage of a new fabrication process to achieve high performance and reliability in measurements.

Speaker’s bio

Yassine holds an MSc in Civil Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, in 2020. He is currently a PhD candidate in Structural, Seismic and Geotechnical Engineering (38th cycle). His research focuses on the design and numerical simulation of innovative MEMS(Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) sensors and actuators for a new fabrication process.

In his free time, he enjoys reading, traveling with friends and eating pasta.
