Background
Dr. Dickensheets joined the Montana
State ECE faculty in 1997. He received the
Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford
University in 1997 under the mentorship of Professor Gordon Kino in the
Ginzton
Laboratory.
A
native of the rural west, Dr. Dickensheets received the BSEE degree
from the
University of
Colorado in 1985 and the MSEE degree from the
University of
Washington in 1988. From 1988 until 1991 he
worked as a design engineer for the
Hewlett-Packard Company in its Medical Products Division in
Andover
,
MA
, performing low-noise analog circuit design for cardiac ultrasound
imagers.
Dr. Dickensheets' research
interests include MEMS and MOEMS (acronyms for micro
{-opto}
-electro-mechanical systems), optical microscopy and spectroscopy of
tissues,
and the application of microfabrication technologies to develop
miniature
optical instruments for imaging in biological research and medicine,
industry
and even planetary exploration. He teaches courses in the areas of
circuits and
electronics, signals and systems, electromagnetic fields and optics.
Dr.
Dickensheets is the Director of the Montana Microfabrication Facility,
a
shared-use cleanroom facility where Montana students and researchers
from both academia and industry can perform
microdevice and nanotechnology research and development.
Dr. Dickensheets has published over 40 papers and two book chapters
related to
optical instrumentation and MEMS, and has been granted 13 patents. He
is an
associate editor of the Journal
of Micro/Nanolithography, MEMS
and
MOEMS, and has chaired several SPIE conferences on MOEMS
and Miniaturized
Systems. Dr. Dickensheets is a senior member of IEEE, and a member of
OSA, SPIE
and HKN.
