Dr. Zheng Cui graduated in 1981 from Southeast University in Nanjing, P.R. China, with a Bachelor degree and subsequently obtained a Master degree in 1984 and a Ph.D. degree in 1988 in electronic engineering at the same university. In 1989 he was invited as a visiting research fellowto the Microelectronics Research Centre, Cavendish Laboratory of Cambridge University in the UK, sponsored by the UK Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC). In 1993 he joined the Central Microstructure Facility, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory of UK (UKs largest national laboratory), as a Senior Scientist. In 1999 he became a Principal Scientist and a group leader. Dr. Zheng Cuis main areas of expertise and interests are in micro and nanofabrication technologies, including various fabrication technologies for both VLSI manufacturing and MEMS development. In the past 16 years he has participated in 7 European joint research projects, acting as coordinator for two of the projects. He was also the principal investigator and co-investigator of a number of UK national projects and the project leader of two UK Royal Society funded projects. He has authored and co-authored over 130 technical publications, is a programme com-mittee member of the annual International Symposium on Design, Test, Integra-tion and Packaging of MEMS/MOEMS, an associate editor for the Journal of Mi-crolithography, Microfabrication and Microsystems (jM3), a member of referee panel on nanotechnology for the European Community Framework 6 research programme, and a Fellow of the UK Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE). Since 1994, he has been awarded 4 times of the K.C. Wong Scientific Research grants, has won 2 Royal Society UK-China Joint research grants. He has been in-vited as a guest professor in a number of research institutes and universities in China. In 2002, he was selected as an Overseas Assessor for the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and in 2004 he was awarded the Overseas Prominent Scholar fund by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
