Dr. Bongtae Han received his BS and MS degrees from Seoul National University in 1981 and 1983, respectively, and his Ph.D. degree in Engineering Mechanics from Virginia Tech in 1991. He is currently a Professor of the Mechanical Engineering Department of the University of Maryland at College Park and is directing the LOMSS (Laboratory for Optomechanics and Micro/nano Semiconductor/Photonics Systems), which is one of the CALCE (Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering) research laboratories. Dr. Han has co-authored a text book entitled "High Sensitivity Moiré: Experimental Analysis for Mechanics and Materials", Springer-Verlag, 1994. He edited two books and has published 8 book chapters and over 120 journal and conference papers in the field of microelectronics and experimental mechanics. He holds 2 US patents and 2 invention disclosures. Dr. Han received the IBM Excellence Award for Outstanding Technical Achievements in 1994. He was a recipient of the 2002 Brewer Award, presented at the Annual Conference of the SEM in Emerging Technologies, for his contributions to experimental characterization of microelectronics devices. He also received the 2005 Associate Editor of the Year Award from the ASME. His publication awards include the Year 2004 Best Paper Award of the IEEE Transactions on Components and Packaging Technologies, and the Gold Award (best paper in the Analysis and Simulation session) at the 1st Samsung Technical Conference in 2004. He was elected a Fellow of the SEM (Society for Experimental Mechanics) and the ASME (American Society for Mechanical Engineers) in 2006 and 2007, respectively.
