Biography:
Professor Bachman is co-founder and Associate Director of UCI's Integrated Nanosystems Research Facility, a premier clean room research facility devoted to micro and nanosystems engineering. He also maintains faculty appointments at UC Irvine as Associate Professor (Adjunct) of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and affiliate faculty in UCI's Department of Biomedical Engineering. Professor Bachman maintains an active research program in sensors, MEMS, BioMEMS, micro-instruments and nanotechnology for applications in communications and life sciences.
He has initiated and lead microsystems-based research projects for DARPA, NIH, NSF and UC Discovery, as well as for major contracts from industry affiliates such as Texas Instruments, MOOG, Raytheon and Hitachi Chemical Research. Professor Bachman supervises many graduate and undergraduate students, and teaches courses in microsystems engineering at UCI, including a hands-on fabrication course for building micro-biomedical chips. He created the first course in MEMS, and the first microfabrication course at UC Irvine. He was awarded 2003 Outstanding Professor in Engineering by UCI for his teaching accomplishments; and was awarded the UCI Innovation Award in 2005 for his research accomplishments. Professor Bachman received his Ph.D. in experimental nuclear physics from the University of Texas, Austin, in 1993, based on work performed at the University of British Columbia's particle accelerator.
Professor Bachman's research interests address the development of new methods of integrated micro and nanosystems engineering for applications beyond microelectronics. His work has led to the development of new micromachining and integration techniques for metals and polymers, integration methods for optics and fluidics, and a variety of microdevices and micro/nano systems with applications in wireless, optical telecom, fluidics, medicine and biotechnology. Recent projects include an effort to develop microtechnology for a bionic ear, and the formation of the LifeChips program at UCI.
Professor Bachman is active in community service and industry outreach, participating in public seminars, youth organizations, and trade groups such as OCTANE and LARTA.
