Yuan Ma, PhD, PEng
Associate Professor
Dept. of Electrical & Computer Engineering
Yuan Ma is an Associate Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Dalhousie University.
She has Bachelor and M.Eng. degrees in Applied Physics from Southeast University, P.R. China;
and M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Microelectronics from University of Alberta.
Before she joined Dalhousie University, she was a research scientist at JDS Uniphase (Ottawa).
Using fabrication process of the integrated circuit (IC), MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) technology
integrates multiple functions of mechanical, electrical, magnetic, thermal, and optics into a single semiconductor
substrate. Micro-scale function integration across the variety of disciplines enables the systems of which performance,
cost and footprint are not achievable with any other technology.
The advanced MicroElectroMechanical System (A-MEMS)
and Application laboratory is funded by the Leaders Opportunity Fund (LOF) from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation (CFI), the Nova
Scotia Research and Innovation Trust, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), and Dalhousie University for
world-class research and technology development.
