Gomez-Sjoberg Rafael

Rafael Gómez-Sjöberg (M'00) received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Los Andes, Bogotá D.C., Colombia, in 1994, and the M.S.E.E. and Ph.D. degrees from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, in 1999 and 2003, respectively. After receiving the B.S. degree, he was with the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications de Bretagne, Brest, France, designing and building optical and electronic instrumentation for research on liquid crystals. Subsequently, he worked on the D-Zero collaboration at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Batavia, IL, in the development of silicon- and scintillating optical fiber-based subatomic particle detectors, before enrolling in graduate school. During his graduate studies, he did a summer-long internship in the Advanced Technology Group at National Semiconductor Corporation, Santa Clara, CA, working on the development of submicron lateral bipolar transistors. After earning his doctorate, he worked as a Postdoctoral Research Scholar with the Department of Applied Physics, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena. He is currently a Postdoctoral Scholar with the Department of Bioengineering, Stanford University, CA. His current interests are biophysics, molecular biology, and the design and fabrication of microelectromechanical and microfluidic systems for biological and biomedical applications.
