Presentation summary

  • displays are not the only electronics systems where large is desirable
  • large area electronics could be invaluable for many distributed sensor and control functions, especially for space constrained applications
  • while electrical performance requirements may be modest, requirements for weight, flexibility, and cost are daunting

Speaker biography

Dr. Robert Reuss was a DARPA Program Manager in the Microsystems Technology Office from 2001 to 2005. He was responsible for several research thrusts into large area electronics including the Macroelectronics and Organic Photovoltaics, as well as conventional microelectronics efforts including Embedded Configurable Signal Processing, Asynchronous Logic, and Energy Starved Electronics programs. Prior to joining DARPA, Dr. Reuss spent twenty years in various technology and research management positions with Motorola. Earlier, he worked for the U.S. government as a research and development manager for seven years and was a Research Faculty member at the University of Colorado for three years. Dr. Reuss received a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Drexel University in 1971. He was elected to Motorola's Science Advisory Board, and is a member of the Electrochemical Society, Materials Research Society, and Society for Information Display, and a Senior Member of IEEE and a past chairman of the Phoenix Chapter of IEEE Waves and Device Societies. He has published over 50 papers and has been awarded 13 U.S. patents. His technology interests lie in the area of application of materials and electrochemistry technologies for advanced microelectronic applications and microsystems integration as well as large area electronics.
