Biography

Dr. Koser obtained double B.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT. During his Masterrsquo;s of Engineering degree conducted offcampus at IBM T. J. Watson Research Laboratory, he demonstrated that spintunneling magnetic random access memory devices can switch at subnanosecond speeds. He stayed at MITrsquo Electrical Engineering Department to get a PhD in the field of Microsystems 2002. After a post doctoral work in microfluidics at the Research Laboratory of Electronics at MIT, he joined the Electrical Engineering Department at Yale University as an Assistant Professor in 2003, where he currently conducts research in microelectromechanical systems MEMS and Nanotechnology for applications in biological and chemical detection, novel assays, bacterial hydrodynamics and miniature power devices.
