Background
Hadi Najar received the B.A.Sc. and the M.A.Sc. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver in 2008 and 2010, respectively. He joined the MEMS Lab at the University of California, Davis in 2010 working under the supervision of Prof. Horsley. For his Ph.D., his work involved the study of CVD diamond as a material for high Q-factor resonators.
Areas of Interest
MEMS Inertial Sensors
Signal Processing
Capacitive Micromachine Ultrasound Transducers (CMUT)
