Vladimir Aksyuk

Vladimir A. Aksyuk is a CNST Visiting Fellow at the CNST Nanofabrication Research Group and an Associate Research Scientist at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of the University of Maryland. He received a B.S. in Physics from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and a Ph.D. in Physics from Rutgers University. Following research as a Member of Technical Staff and then Technical Manager at Bell Labs, he joined the research staff at NIST. Vladimir's research focuses on the design and fabrication of novel optical MEMS systems. He holds more than 30 patents, and has published over 40 papers. In 2000 he received the Bell Labs President's Gold Award, in 2005 was named among MIT Technology Review magazine's TR35, and in 2008 received a Distingushed Alumni award for Early Career Accomplishments from Rutgers Graduate School. He is currently developing multiple projects in the use of optical MEMS and NEMS to address fundamental problems in nanomanufacturing.
