Brent runs Memstronics\, a managemen t-consulting firm where he advises companies on product\, growth\, and sup ply chain and operations management strategies.\n\nBefore Memstronics\, Br ent worked at 3M’s Global Innovation Center\, where he led product and b usiness development for Communication Markets Division and Electronics Mat erials Division. Prior to that\, Brent formed and led engineering and prod uction teams at Silicon Light Machines\, which was acquired by Cypress Sem iconductor during his tenure. In his early career\, he raised funding and managed programs resulting in the development and commercialization of dis ruptive technology including novel radio frequency communication technolog y and new microelectronics systems and materials at Austin’s first micro electronics technology consortium\, Microelectronic Computer Technology Co rporation (known as MCC). His technology was acquired and resulted in the spin out of Teravicta Technology\, Austin’s first MEMS company.\nBrent i s an Entrepreneurial Advisor for the University of Texas-Cockrell School o f Engineering Innovation Center. He serves as the founding Chair of the IE EE Central Texas MEMS and Sensors Chapter. In 2013 he was invited by a gro up of Silicon Valley innovators to serve as a founding Officer of the IEEE San Francisco Bay Area MEMS & Sensors Chapter\, the first chapter of it ’s kind under IEEE\, where he currently serves on the Executive Committe e.\n\nBrent currently lives in Austin\, Texas. He holds an Executive MBA f rom the University of Texas at Austin-McCombs School of Business\, as well as B.S. and M.S. degrees in chemistry from Texas State University.\n\nAbs tract: Austin’s MEMS industry started as a result of a joint collaborati on between MCC and IBM in the late 1990’s. In 2000\, MCC spun out Austin ’s first MEMS company and today the Central Texas region benefits from a robust MEMS & Sensors value chain that make up our regional industry. MEM S stands for micro-electro-mechanical systems. Today everyone reading this abstract benefits from more than one form of MEMS technology. This techno logy is a key enabling technology for smart phones\, ink jet printers\, he aring aids\, pace makers\, drones\, autonomous vehicles\, wearable electro nics\, and medical devices. In this talk\, the history of Austin’s MEMS industry along with cool examples of the technology and the broad applicat ions will be discussed.\n\nSpeaker(s): Brent Lunceford\, \, Brent Luncefor d\, \n\nAgenda: \n6:00 to 6:30pm -- Networking\n\n6:30 to 8:30pm -- Busine ss and Program\n\nBldg: PoK-e-Jo's Smokehouse\, 2121 West Parmer Lane at L amplight Village Ave.\, Austin\, Texas\, United States\, 78727 LOCATION:Bldg: PoK-e-Jo's Smokehouse\, 2121 West Parmer Lane at Lamplight V illage Ave.\, Austin\, Texas\, United States\, 78727 ORGANIZER:bill.martino@ieee.org SEQUENCE:4 SUMMARY:IEEE CTCN Monthly Meeting\, Wednesday\, February 22\, 2017: "MEMS i n Austin\, Texas – Days of Disruption\, Market Creation and Industry Gro wth" URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/43706 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>IEEE CTCN Monthly Meeting\, Wednes day\, February 22\, 2017: "MEMS in Austin\, Texas &ndash\; Days of Disrupt ion\, Market Creation and Industry Growth"</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Biogra phy: Brent Lunceford&nbsp\;</strong>is serial innovator who for two decade s has driven product innovation and new market entry at both Fortune 500 c ompanies and high-growth ventures.
