Carlos Mastrangelo, Ph.D., IT Networking & Memory
Prof. Carlos H. Mastrangelo's research interests include micro- and nano-systems for biomedical applications, microsystems for high throughput DNA sequencing, instrumentation of single cells, and microfluidic systems for biological monitoring and drug delivery.
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Mastrangelo comes to Utah following an associate professorship at the University of California, Berkely. He received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from the University of California, Berkeley. At other times in his career, he was at the Scientific Research Laboratory, Ford Motor Company, Dearborn MI, developing microsensors for automotive applications, and an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Center for Integrated Microsystems, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
From 2000-2005 he was Vice President of Engineering at Corning-Intellisense, Wilmington MA and a Director at the Biochemical Technologies research group, Corning NY. At Berkeley, Dr. Mastrangelo’s group is credited for being the first group to detect DNA separations on a microfluidic chip integrated with an on-chip detector. At Michigan, Prof. Mastrangelo’s group is credited for developing the first model for stiction phenomena in MEMS.
