About MARC

The Microsystems Annual Research Conference (MARC) is an MTL-wide forum presenting research achievements of the past year while encouraging interaction among MTL students, faculty, and industry partners. MARC2012 will be the eighth year of this student-led conference, but stems directly from the former MTL annual student research reviews, created by MIT professor Paul Penfield in 1990. The student reviews/MARC have been held at various locations through the years, from the MIT Endicott House to the Waterville Valley Conference and Event Center, and, most recently, at the Boston Marriott Cambridge, overlooking the MIT campus. For MARC 2012, we are very excited to be returning to Waterville Valley in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

All grad students, postdocs, visiting scientists, and staff working within MTL, or whose advisers are MTL affiliated, are invited (and encouraged!) to submit work to be presented at the conference. The conference itself will kick-off on January 18th with a social hour, dinner, and evening session. The technical portion of the conference will begin on January 19th. There are four technical sessions: MEMS & BioMEMS; Circuits & Systems; Nano & Energy; Electronic & Photonic Devices. MARC 2012 is free, and registration will be open to all grad students, postdocs, visiting scientists, faculty, and staff affiliated with or working within MTL. REGISTRATION FOR MARC 2012 IS NOW CLOSED - THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST!
