Biography

Dr. English's joined the UAH ECE faculty in August 2000 after receiving her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Geogia Tech where she researched Microelectricalmechanical Systems, including the design and fabrication of silicon and ceramic sensors and actuators. There she performed funded research under contracts with AT&T, DARPA, and the NSF.

Dr. English's research interests include the design and fabrication development of MEMs devices using silicon and ceramic-based materials, the integration of CMOS and MEMs fabrication, MEMs packaging, implementing control schemes for MEMS and wireless operation of MEMs devices. Her research focused on wireless ceramic MEMs pressure sensors for use in high temperature environments, developing a design and fabrication technology for the manufacture of ceramic pressure sensors for aircraft turbine engines. She also developed a testbed for the wireless operation of these devices in high temperature and high pressure conditions.
