Eric Yeatman - Imperial College London, UK
Prof Eric M. Yeatman has been a member of academic staff in Imperial College London since 1989, and Professor of Micro-Engineering since 2005. He is Deputy Head of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and has published more than 160 papers and patents, primarily on optical devices and materials, and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). He is also Co-Director of the college's Digital Economy Lab. He is a Fellow and Silver Medalist of the Royal Academy of Engineering, and a Fellow of the IEEE. Prof. Yeatman is also co-founder and chairman of Microsaic Systems plc, which develops and markets miniature mass spectrometers based on MEMS technology. His current research interests are in energy sources for wireless devices (particularly energy harvesting), radio frequency and photonic MEMS devices, and sensor networks.
Douglas Paul - University of Glasgow, UK
Prof Douglas J. Paul is Director of the James Watt Nanofabrication Centre at the University of Glasgow, U.K.. He has an MA degree in Physics and Theoretical Physics and a PhD from the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge. Prof Paul is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, a Fellow of the Institute of Physics, a chartered physicist, a Senior Member of the IEEE, was a Fellow of St. Edmund's College in Cambridge, an EPSRC Advanced Fellow and managed all the Si/SiGe research in the Cavendish Laboratory before taking up a Professorial position at the University of Glasgow in 2007. Prof Paul presently sits on a number of U.K. government department committees including the MOD Defence Scientific Advisory Council (DSAC), the Home Office CBRN Scientific Advisory Committee and previously sat on DTI Foresight Committees. He was the U.K. representative to the NATO CBP Science Panel between 2004 and 2008. He was one of the editors for the 1st Technology Roadmap on European Nanoelectronics, a significant part of which is now in the ITRS Roadmap Future Emerging Technology section and gave evidence at the House of Lords to the Lords Select Committee panel on 'Chips for Everything'. He is responsible for the EC ZEROPOWER network for writing a roadmap on self-powered autonomous systems and energy harvesting systems. He is also involved in organising a number of EC ZEROPOWER workshops and summer schools on energy harvesting. He sits on the scientific, programme and / or organising committees for a number of international conference series including the IEEE 12th International Conference on Nanotechnology, Power MEMS and the International SiGe Technology and Device Meeting, the SiGe, Ge, & Related Compounds Symposium. Prof Paul's research interests include nanofabrication, Si/SiGe heterostructures, nanoelectronic silicon devices, quantum cascade lasers, quantum devices, silicon photonics, terahertz systems, sensors and thermoelectrics.
