Dr. Leslie Field (Moderator) Small Tech Consulting, Dr. Mark Zdeblick CTO Proteus Digital Health, Marcellino Gemelli, Senior Marketing Manager, Bosch Sensortec Dr. Christine Chihfan Ho CTO, Imprint Energy Dr. Octavian Florescu President, Silicon BioDevices Panel: Successful MEMS Commercialization - Lessons Learned The road to successful MEMS commercialization is a long and windy path with roadblocks and potholes. With careful planning and checkpoints along the way, companies may mitigate risk. This panel will discuss ways to successfully navigate the commercialization process including considerations for planning the development of new products. Has market pull or technology push influenced the killer apps we’ve seen over the past decade? What is next for the MEMS Industry? Representatives from leading MEMS companies will discuss the factors that helped make their products succeed. The panel will also discuss IP considerations and processes to integrate MEMS into new products. 12:45  Box Lunch, SDH Atrium   Register Here          ↑ BSAC Faculty Research Investigations 19 September 2012 Sutardja Dai Hall Dado & Maria Banatao Auditorium UC Berkeley Time Speaker, Event / Topic Information 14:00  John Huggins Intro to Session 14:15  David A.
