About
Joshua Young is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and radiation effects, with a particular focus on enabling reliable device operation in harsh environments. His key research areas include MEMS resonator design, radiation-hardened microelectronics, and the material science of wide-bandgap semiconductors. Young’s most notable contribution is his investigation into the impact of silicon ion irradiation on aluminum nitride-transduced MEMS resonators, a study that has garnered early attention with 4 citations since its 2023 publication. This work is critical for understanding how space radiation degrades the performance of MEMS devices used in CubeSats and other small satellites, where reliability is paramount. By characterizing the effects of ion bombardment on resonant frequency and quality factor, Young provides foundational knowledge for designing more robust microdevices. His research directly supports the development of low-power, compact sensors and oscillators for aerospace applications. As a rising scholar, Young is establishing himself as a key voice in the effort to bridge MEMS technology with the demands of space exploration.
