Vita for Dean P. Neikirk:
Dean P. Neikirk was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on October 31, 1957. He received the B.S. degree (1979) in physics from Oklahoma State University, and the M.S. (1981) and Ph.D. (1984) degrees in applied physics from the California Institute of Technology. He joined the faculty of The University of Texas at Austin in 1984, and is currently a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, holding the Cullen Trust for Higher Education Professorship in Engineering (No. 7). Dr. Neikirk developed the first monolithic, high resolution focal plane detector array for use at wavelengths between 0.1 mm and 1 mm, and in 1984 received the Marconi International Fellowship Young Scientist Award "for contributions to the development of millimeter wave integrated circuits especially in the area of detectors and imaging arrays." He has also been named a 1986 National Science Foundation Presidential Young Investigator.
Dr. Neikirk's current research interests concentrate on the fabrication and modeling of electromagnetic and micromachined sensors and actuators. His work also includes projects involving integrated circuit processing and the high frequency properties of transmission lines. His work concentrates on the use of advanced fabrication techniques, including silicon micromachining, for new device and transmission line development. Dr. Neikirk developed the teaching laboratory for semiconductor device fabrication at The University of Texas at Austin, and is an active member of The University of Texas at Austin Microelectronics Research Center. Recently Dr. Neikirk’s research project related to the development of new chemical sensors (an “electronic taste” sensor) was selected for a joint commercialization venture between the University of Texas and Labnetics, Inc.
