Nathan Siwak completed his M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering in October 2007. In his thesis work, titled "Indium Phosphide MEMS Cantilever Waveguides for Chemical Sensing with Integrated Optical Readout," Nathan presents the demonstration of the first working InP cantilever waveguide sensor through detecting IPA vapor absorption into thin films. In addition to this he was able to integrate on-chip photodiodes into the structures. Nathan is continuing his Ph.D. degree in ECE at UMD.
