Dr. Bergstrom conducts research on the integration of nanoscaled technologies in complex microsystems. The research is focused in two areas: the physics and fabrication of devices and systems utilizing porous semiconductors, and the physics and fabrication of devices incorporating quantum scaled effects as long range extensions to mainstream VLSI CMOS technologies.

    Dr. Bergstrom is an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, an Adjunct Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, the Associate Director of the Multi Scale Technologies Institute, and the Faculty Director of the Microfabrication Facility at MTU.

The photo at left was taken during an educational outreach to a public school in the village of Barara, Haryana, India. I discussed science and engineering concepts and answered a lot of questions. The students primarily wanted to know how different it was to be a student in the United States. I am grateful for having been given the opportunity.

The photo at right shows a glimpse into Michigan Tech.’s Microfabrication Facility. The university has a modest fabrication capability for sample or wafer scale processing up to 150mm substrates of a wide variety of photonic, nanoscaled, bio-inspired, and microsystem research. This facility is part of a larger facility known as the Materials Characterization and Fabrication Facility.
