Dr. George Skidmore promoted to new position
Richardson, TX (December 4, 2003)
Zyvex Corporation today announced that Dr. George
Skidmore has been promoted to the new position of Director
of Research.
Skidmore also continues his role as principal
investigator for Zyvex’s NIST Advanced Technology Program
(ATP) entitled, “Assemblers for Nanotechnology Applications
and Manufacturing: Enabling the Nanotechnology Era.”
The NIST-ATP awarded this $25 million program to Zyvex in
2001 for the explicit purpose of developing systems that provide
highly parallel microassembly and nanoassembly for real-world,
high-volume applications. The ATP bridges the gap between
the research lab and the marketplace, stimulating prosperity
through innovation.
“We’re delighted to have George
on our team. He’s earned a reputation for delivering
results,” said Thomas A. Cellucci, PhD, Chief Operating
Officer of Zyvex. “He does an outstanding job developing
products and technologies targeted to real-world applications.
His management ability, people skills, planning skills, and
energy level are exactly what we look for at Zyvex.”
Skidmore’s experience and skill-set include
high-resolution magnetic force microscopy, nanofabrication
using electron beam lithography, scanning probe microscopy,
MEMS design and processing, microassembly using MEMS, nanoassembly,
and electron microscopy as it applies to the fabrication and
characterization of micro- and nanostructures.
Skidmore originally joined Zyvex in August 1998
and was promoted to manager of the Design Engineering Group
in 2000. He has authored or co-authored twenty-one scientific
publications, has been awarded three patents, and has ten
patents pending as an inventor or co-inventor. He serves on
the executive committee of the TEX MEMS conference, the joint
organizing committee of COMS, the technical program committee
of IEEE 2004, and as Vice Chair of the CAMPMode industrial
advisory board at the University of Colorado.
Skidmore was awarded his two undergraduate degrees
in 1993: a B.S. in Industrial Technology and a B.A. in Physics
from Western Washington University; and received his Ph.D.
in Physics in 1998 from the University of Minnesota.
