Alex Papavasiliou

Alex Papavasiliou is a Research Scientist at Teledyne Scientific & Imaging since November 2006, specializing in project management, design, and fabrication in microfabrication. Key contributions include the development of a high-speed fiber optic shutter for cold-atom research, involvement in creating a miniaturized chip-scale atomic clock, and participation in the development of microfabricated architectures for millimeter-wave phased arrays and high-efficiency transformers for LED lighting. Prior to this role, Alex worked as a Mechanical Engineer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory from August 2001 to October 2006, focusing on nanolaminate-based deformable mirrors and silicon MEMS spatial-light modulators, with responsibilities that included project coordination and budget management. Alex holds a PhD, a Master's degree, and a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, all from the University of California, Berkeley.
