Dr. Tadigadapa joined Penn State in 2000. From 1996–2000 he was the VP of Manufacturing at Integrated Sensing Systems, involved with the design, fabrication, packaging, reliability, and manufacturing of micromachined silicon pressure and Coriolis flow sensors. His primary research interest is in the field of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and in the design, optimization, fabrication, and testing of MEMS transducers. His MEMS group has access to state of the art microfabrication, device simulation, and testing and measurement facilities. He has been a research fellow at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany and a visiting professor at Otto von Guericke University, Germany, and University College, Ireland. He is a member of IEEE, Institute of Physics, Society of Photonics and Optical Engineering and serves on the editorial board of Journal of Microlithography, MEMS and MOEMS and Measurement Science and Technology journals.
