Brief Curriculum Vitae

Danick Briand received his B.Eng. degree and M.A.Sc. degree in engineering physics from École Polytechnique in Montréal, Canada, in collaboration with the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble (INPG), France, in 1995 and 1997, respectively. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in the field of micro–chemical sensing systems from the Institute of Microtechnology (IMT), University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland in 2001. He is currently the team leader of the EnviroMEMS, Energy and Enviromental MEMS group at EPFL IMT Samlab. He has been awarded the Eurosensors Fellowship in 2010. He has been author or co–author on more than 150 papers published in scientific journals and conference proceedings. His research interests include polymeric MEMS, Power MEMS and energy harvesting, smart sensing systems, printing and foil technologies, green microtechnologies and microfabrication, ultra–low energy Microsystems, and the development of microsystems for environmental and energy applications.
