DESCRIPTION:Prof. Vivek Subramanian\, Department of Microengineering\, Éc
 ole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)\, Lausanne\, Switzerland a
 nd Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences\, University
  of California\, Berkeley\nAbstract:\nIn recent years\, there has been sig
 nificant interest in the applications of printed electronics in the realiz
 ation of a range of low-cost\, large area\, flexible electronic systems su
 ch as displays\, distributed sensors\, and low-cost disposable tags.  To 
 make printed electronics a viable technology\, however\, there is a need f
 or significant innovations across all aspects of these systems\, including
  realization of advanced printable materials\, improvements in printing te
 chnology\, and design and realization of devices and systems that exploit 
 the capabilities of this emerging technology.\nIn this talk\, I will revie
 w our progress in advancing the state of the art in printed electronics. 
  I will begin by discussing the physical underpinnings of printing and wil
 l discuss how understanding and control of printing-related phenomena allo
 ws for substantial advancement in the capabilities of the same.  I will a
 dditionally discuss advances in printable material systems that enable the
  realization of high-performance printed structures.  In particular\, I w
 ill discuss the importance of proper material design for use as printable 
 precursors.   Finally\, I will show how the combination of advanced prin
 ted techniques with appropriate materials and proper device design may be 
 used to realize printed devices with unprecedented performance levels\, th
 us helping to usher in the era of printed electronics.\n \nBio:\nVivek Su
 bramanian received his PhD in electrical engineering from Stanford Univers
 ity in 1998.  Since 2000\, he has been at the University of California\, 
 Berkeley\, where he is currently a Professor of Electrical engineering and
  Computer Sciences.  In 2018\, Prof. Subramanian moved to École polytech
 nique fédérale de Lausanne\, where he is a Professor of Microengineering
 .\nDr. Subramanian is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electron
 ic Engineers (IEEE).  In 2002\, he was nominated to Technology Review's l
 ist of top 100 young innovators (the TR100)\, and his work at Matrix Semic
 onductor was nominated to the Scientific American SA50 list for visionary 
 technology.  Awards he has received include the Paul Rappaport Award for 
 the best paper in an IEEE EDS journal\, the IEEE Device Research Conferenc
 e and the IMAPS best paper awards\, the 2015 IEEE Kiyo Tomiyasu Award\, an
 d the outstanding teaching award from the EECS Department at the Universit
 y of California\, Berkeley.
