Dr. Philippe Passeraub is an Associate Professor of Manufacturing Engineering, specializing in additive manufacturing of microsystems and medical devices. He graduated in Microengineering (with a focus on integrated products) and went on to earn a PhD in Microsystems Design with a thesis entitled “An integrated inductive proximity sensor” at EPFL (the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne). He worked in Switzerland (Swiss MEMS accelerometers industry) as well as in Liechtenstein (Electronic measuring systems for the construction industry), and he did a postdoctoral fellowship at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in the Biomedical Engineering Department (Neuroengineering). In 2004, he was hired as a faculty and became an associate professor in Microengineering and Bioinstrumentation for the Geneva School of Engineering from HES-SO (the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland). In the summer of 2022, he joined BYU. His research focuses on studying miniaturization limits and optimization parameters of reliable surface additive manufacturing, to add new functionalities to objects, and to promote quality open-source medical devices.
