Brian Morgan completed his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering in August 2006. Brian's thesis focused on the development of "Electrostatic MEMS Actuators using Gray-scale Technology." This research explored the integration of 3-D silicon structures within both static and dynamic MEMS devices, including the development of electrostatic MEMS comb-drives with tailored actuation characteristics, compact tunable MEMS resonators, and a novel 2-axis optical fiber alignment system for in-package alignment to optoelectronic components. Brian starts a new position at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory in Adelphi, Maryland in September 2006.
