About
Eric Lang is a leading researcher in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), with a particular focus on the radiation tolerance of MEMS resonators for space and harsh-environment applications. His work addresses a critical challenge: ensuring the reliability of miniaturized sensors and oscillators—essential components in CubeSats, accelerometers, and gyroscopes—when exposed to ionizing radiation. Lang’s most cited study, “Impact of Silicon Ion Irradiation on Aluminum Nitride‐Transduced Microelectromechanical Resonators” (2023, 4 citations), provides foundational insights into how radiation degrades piezoelectric MEMS devices, guiding the design of more robust systems. By combining experimental irradiation with device physics, he has advanced the understanding of defect formation and frequency shifts in aluminum nitride resonators. Though early in his career, Lang’s work is already shaping the development of resilient MEMS for space missions and defense technologies. His contributions are particularly notable for bridging materials science and device engineering, offering practical pathways to radiation-hardened microsystems. As the demand for small, low-power, and durable sensors grows, Lang’s research positions him as a key figure in the next generation of space-qualified MEMS.
