DESCRIPTION:Prof. Guillermo Villanueva\, Advanced Nano-electromechanical S
 ystems Laboratory (NEMS)\, EPFL\nCOVID certificate with a QR code required
  for in-person attendance in BM 5202. Face masks are mandatory.\n\n\nAbstr
 act:\nResonators are present in our everyday life. Even if we do not reali
 ze it\, dynamic response of solid structures is so important that it somet
 imes becomes a decisive element in their design. We work with resonators\,
  similar to swings\, pendula or musical instruments\, just a “bit” sma
 ller.\n\nIndeed\, our work focuses on the development of micro- and nano-e
 lectro-mechanical resonators. We want to use them with two applications in
  mind: single-cell studies and 5G communications. Design\, fabrication\, a
 nd operational challenges are different in both cases. In this colloquium 
 I will try to convey the key points for each challenge\, including materia
 l development\, design and fabrication optimization\; and I will show you 
 our latest advances\, together with the roadmap that we would like to foll
 ow in the next few years.\n\nBio:\nGuillermo Villanueva is a Tenure Track 
 Assistant Professor at EPFL in Lausanne since 2017. He obtained his Ms. Sc
 . in Physics in 2002 from the University of Zaragoza (Spain) and his Ph.D.
  in Microelectronic Engineering from the Autonomous University of Barcelon
 a in 2006 for his work on NEMS/MEMS for biodetection and scanning probes. 
 He then worked as a post-doctoral researcher at EPFL\, Caltech and DTU in 
 the fields of nanofabrication\, coupled and non-linear phenomena and dissi
 pation in NEMS respectively. In 2013 he joined EPFL as a SNSF Assistant Pr
 ofessor to continue his research in fundamentals of nanomechanical systems
  for sensing and communications. In 2005 he was awarded the MNE Young Inve
 stigator Award for his PhD work\, in 2008 he was awarded a Marie Curie Fel
 lowship\, in 2014 he was awarded the MEE Young Investigator Award and in 2
 020 he received the Best Teacher of the Section Award for SGM.
