Amit Lal

Amit Lal is the Robert M. Scharf 1977 Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY. His work has resulted in new fabrication approaches and architectures in Micro/Nano-Electromechanical Systems, Physical Acoustics and Ultrasonics, Inertial Sensors, Biomedical MEMS, Analog Circuit Design, Solid-State Electronics, Radioactive Thin Films for Autonomous Microsystems, and Nanofabrication. The current focus of his research is on: (1) Gigahertz Ultrasonic for chip-scale communications, sensing, and computation, (2) Near zero power sensors for long-lifetime IoT, (3) Ultrasonic inertial sensors based on surface acoustic waves.
