We are pleased to announce the inaugural PowerMEMS School to be held in conjunction with the PowerMEMS conference. This two-day school will cover a wide range of power-MEMS topics including technologies for power generation, power transmission, energy storage, power electronics interfaces and metrology. World leading experts will give invited lectures on each topic. The wide coverage offered by the school will be ideal for PhD candidates, newcomers to the field, and practitioners or researchers in the field that want to broaden their knowledge. Each lecture will have a somewhat tutorial character while also giving a taste of the state of the art on the topic. The school will be held December 2-3 at Imperial College London.
Costs:
School Fees include lunch on both days.
Student - £120
Non-Student - £160
School co-chairs:
Professor Einar Halvorsen, Vestfold University College, Norway
Dr Shad Roundy, University of Utah, USA
