Dr. Koser obtained double B.S. degrees in
Electrical Engineering and Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT), a Master's of Engineering degree for his work on
magnetic random access memory devices at IBM T. J. Watson Research
Laboratory. He stayed at MIT's Electrical Engineering Department t0
get a Ph.D. in the field of Microsystems (2002). After a post doctoral
work in microfluidics at the Research Laboratory of Electronics at MIT,
he joined the Electrical Engineering Department at Yale University as
an Assistant Professor in 2003, where he currently conducts research in
micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and Nanotechnology for applications in biological and chemical detection, novel assays, bacterial hydrodynamics and miniature
power devices.
Dr. Koser has recently received the NSF Career Award for his work on
ferrofluid dynamics and will be on a prestigious Junior Faculty
Fellowship (awarded by Yale University) during the next academic year
to expand his work on ferrofluids. He is also the receipient of the
2003 Yale Information Technology Systems (ITS) Instructional Innovation
Award and the Moore Award for the development of a microfluidics-based
teaching laboratory. During his years at MIT, he was selected as a
member of honor academic honor societies such as Sigma Pi Sigma, Sigma
Xi, Phi Beta Kappa, and Eta Kappa Nu (1998). He also served as a member
and Chapter Officer in the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society
(1997). |
