		John M. Maloney PhD candidate MIT DMSE Senior MEMS engineer (2001-2005) MicroCHIPS, Inc. Engineer-in-residence (2001-2005) MIT Microsystems Technology Labs MS student and research assistant (1999-2001) Maryland MEMS Lab (MML) University of Maryland
	October 2008: Phys Rev E paper published, updated pictures and publications. February 2008: Added my experience with the oral quals.
		I'm a PhD student in the Van Vliet Group in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT; my advisors are Prof. Krystyn Van Vliet and Prof. Robert Langer. This poster (pdf) gives a overview of my research in 2007.
		Pictures and a list of publications are here.
		My experience with MIT's oral qualifying exam in materials science and engineering.
		This (pdf) is a printable, foldable thing I've been working on recently. Critical reviews are welcome.
		One of my images of cells can be seen up and down Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge.
		Technical notes (pdf): On true strain vs. engineering strain and Interpreting the Tresca yield criterion (as a TA for 3.032, Mechanical behavior of materials); Determining entropy (for 3.20, Materials at equilibrium); Generalized Hooke's Law (for 3.22, Mechanics of materials).
		A controlled-exposure technology is described here in an adapted excerpt from my 2006 MEng thesis (pdf).
		I've collected a variety of thin film patterns.
		From 2001 to 2005 I worked for MicroCHIPS, Inc., a Boston-area bioMEMS company. This extended abstract (pdf) describes the state of the technology in 2003.

		One of my areas of research at the University of Maryland was 3-D microfabrication.
		The other was electrothermal actuation.
