2nd Workshop on Dynamics and Control of Micro and Nanoscale Systems, 2012

Reza Moheimani received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from University of New South Wales at the Australian Defence Force Academy, Canberra, Australia in 1996. Since 1997 he has been with the University of Newcastle, Australia, where he is currently a Professor and Australian Research Council Future Fellow in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He is the founder and director of Laboratory for Dynamics and Control of Nanosystems, a multi-million-dollar state-of-the-art research facility dedicated to the advancement of nanotechnology through innovations in systems theory and control engineering.

He has served on the editorial boards of a number of journals, including IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics and Control Engineering Practice. He is a recipient of the 2007 IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology Outstanding Paper Award and the 2009 IEEE Control Systems Technology Award. He is a Fellow of IEEE, a Fellow of IFAC and a Fellow of the Institute of Physics. His current research interests include applications of control and estimation in nanoscale positioning systems for high-speed scanning probe microscopy, control of microactuators in MEMS and emerging data storage systems.

Dr. Eleftheriou received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, in 1985. In 1986, he joined IBM Research – Zurich in Rüschlikon, Switzerland where he currently manages the Storage Technologies Department, which focuses on phase-change memories, scanning-probe techniques and metrology, as well as tape drive technology and solid-state drive technology and systems.

In January 2002 Dr. Eleftheriou was elected Fellow of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). He was co-recipient of the 2003 IEEE Leonard G. Abraham Award and co-recipient of the Eduard Rhein Technology Award in 2005. The same year, he became an IBM Fellow and was inducted into the IBM Academy of Technology. In 2009 he was co-recipient of the IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology Outstanding Paper Award and the IEEE Control Systems Technology Award.
