“IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society 2009 Student Paper Competition Award”

Congratulations to Dr. Hengky Chandrahalim for being presented with the IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society 2009 Student Paper Competition Award.

The paper titled “Heterodyne laser-doppler interferometric characterization of contour-mode resonators above 1 GHz” was presented by Dr. Chandrahalim at the 2009 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium in Rome, Italy on September 21, 2009. The paper was co-authored by Dr. Chandrahalim’s Advisor Dr. Sunil Bhave, along with Christian Rembe, Sebastian Boedecker, Ronald Polcawich, and Jeff Pulskamp.

The research and work that was performed in this paper was completed while Dr. Chandrahalim was a PhD student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Cornell University, and was a joint collaboration between Cornell University, the Army Research Labs and Polytec Inc.

Dr. Chandrahalim completed his graduate study and earned his doctoral degree from the Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University in August of 2009; he accepted a Post-Doctoral Researcher position in the Micro and Nanosystems laboratory at ETHZ Zurich in September of 2009. His current research focus is in Carbon Nanotubes based nano-electromechanical signal processors. Dr. Chandrahalim is an active reviewer for refereed publications in the area of micro-/nanosystems, acoustics, ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control.
