Alexander A. Trusov - Main Page

Welcome to the website of Alexander A. Trusov, Ph.D.

I am currently a project scientist with Prof. Shkel's MicroSystems Lab at the University of California, Irvine, where I provide leadership and  management to a team of postdocs and graduate student researchers. My main areas of expertise and responsibilities include

• Design, modeling, fabrication, and vacuum packaging of inertial MEMS.
• Design and implementation of performance characterization experiments.
• Signal conditioning, statistical data processing and analysis.
• Project management, procurement of funding, acquisition of equipment.
• Interactions with industrial and government research sponsors.

My current externally sponsored research projects and responsibilities include:

• PI, "Self-Calibrating Inertial MEMS (SCI-MEMS)," DARPA.
• PI, "Gyrocompass on a Chip:  A 3-Axis Inertial Measurement Unit with Inherent Frequency Modulation Operation," ONR/NSWCDD.
• Co-PI, "Precision Rate-Integrating Micro Gyroscope (PRIMG)," DARPA.
• PI, "Micromachined Spherical Resonators," DARPA.
• Co-PI, "State-of-the-Art System for Packaging and Characterization of MEMS Gyroscopes," ONR.
• PI, "MEMS Gyro Technology for Precision Gyro-Compassing Azimuth Sensing Systems," ONR/NSWCDD.
• PI, "Micro IMU Utilizing Folded Cube Approach," DARPA.

I hope you find the website convenient and informative. Please get back to me with suggestions and questions.
