Topic

Research on the possibilities of next-generation 3D nano / micro fabrication processes and their applied devices

Education

• Doctor of Engineering, Tohoku University

Background

Dr. Mizuno received his PhD in engineering from Tohoku University, where he conducted research on silicon capacitive sensors that can simultaneously detect acceleration and angular acceleration.

Since then, he has been conducting research on organic EL using liquid semiconductors, SAW devices using low-temperature bonding technology, 3D electronics packaging technology, low-damage surface treatment machines, and recently, implant materials and regenerative medicine of epithelial mucosa in collaboration with medical engineering.

Research Interests

MEMS, Nano and micro fabrication, Electronics packaging, Surface modification and Bio compatible materials. My goal is to construct this “Science of Nano and Micro Devices”, and it won’t be possible unless I establish these five main technologies, MEMS, Nano and micro fabrication, Electronics packaging, Surface modification, and Bio compatible materials.
