DESCRIPTION:Prof. Vivek Subramanian\, University of California\, Berkeley\
 nIn recent years\, there has been significant interest in the applications
  of printed electronics in the realization of a range of low-cost\, large 
 area\, flexible electronic systems such as displays\, distributed sensors\
 , and low-cost disposable tags.  To make printed electronics a viable tec
 hnology\, however\, there is a need for significant innovations across all
  aspects of these systems\, including realization of advanced printable ma
 terials\, improvements in printing technology\, and design and realization
  of devices and systems that exploit the capabilities of this emerging tec
 hnology.\n\nIn this talk\, I will review our progress in advancing the sta
 te of the art in printed electronics.  I will begin by discussing the phy
 sical underpinnings of printing and will discuss how understanding and con
 trol of printing-related phenomena allows for substantial advancement in t
 he capabilities of the same.  I will additionally discuss advances in pri
 ntable material systems that enable the realization of high-performance pr
 inted thin films.  In particular\, I will discuss the importance of prope
 r material design for use as printable precursors.   Finally\, I will sh
 ow how the combination of advanced printed techniques with appropriate mat
 erials and proper device design may be used to realize printed devices wit
 h unprecedented performance levels\, thus helping to usher in the era of p
 rinted electronics.\n\nBio: Vivek Subramanian received his PhD in electric
 al engineering from Stanford University in 1998.  Dr. Subramanian co-foun
 ded Matrix Semiconductor\, Inc.\, in 1998.  Since 2000\, he has been at t
 he University of California\, Berkeley\, where he is currently a Professor
  of Electrical engineering and Computer Sciences.  His current research f
 ocuses on printed electronics for display\, low-cost logic\, and sensing a
 pplications.\n\nDr. Subramanian is a member of the Institute of Electrical
  and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).  In 2002\, he was nominated to Technolo
 gy Review's list of top 100 young innovators (the TR100)\, and his work at
  Matrix Semiconductor was nominated to the Scientific American SA50 list f
 or visionary technology.  Awards he has received include the Paul Rappapo
 rt Award for the best paper in an IEEE EDS journal\, the IEEE Device Resea
 rch Conference and the IMAPS best paper awards\, the 2015 IEEE Kiyo Tomiya
 su Award\, and the outstanding teaching award from the EECS Department at 
 the University of California\, Berkeley.
