About

Kevin Yallup is the director of engineering for tech+liaison a consultancy that provides services for engineering companies active in sensors MEMS microtechnology microfluidics or photonics for project management strategy development and team development. Prior to this Kevin has held senior positions in a number of high tech companies and startups including Colibrys a MEMS sensor company ACAMP a public private partnership based in Canada National Semincondutor (now TI) and Analog Devices. He is a project manager and engineering team manager with over 30 years of experience in engineering fields such as MEMS microtechnology microfluidics photonics sensors and semiconductors who has led teams involved in product development and process development for industrial medical device space telecommunications automotive and integrated circuits. Kevin graduated from Cambridge University in the UK as a physicist and earned his PhD in engineering and physics from the University of Leuven in Belgium while working in IMEC. Laura Basiricò received the M.S. degree in Physics from the University of Bologna Bologna Italy in 2008. In 2009 she joined the University of Cagliari with the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering as a Ph.D student. She received the Ph.D. degree in 2012. During the Ph.D. she focused her research activity on the development of inkjet printing technique for the realization of Organic Field Effect Transistors and Organic ElectroChemical Transistors for sensing application. She is currently a Research Fellow and Adjunct Professor at the Department of Physics and Astronomy University of Bologna Italy. Her research interests concern flexible and Organic Electronics electronic devices for sensing applications smart devices based on advanced materials and technologies. She is also the co-Author of several scientific publications both on international journals in the field of electronic engineering and materials physics.Her e-mail is laura.basirico2@unibo.it.
