Michael Fonseca presented the inaugural ‘Systems Matter’ seminar hosted by the Institute for Matter and Systems on Tuesday, September 10. 

“We are privileged to have Mike here to share his wealth of knowledge and insights from his extensive experience in both the academic and corporate sectors of the medical device industry,” said Michael Filler, Deputy Director of IMS.

Fonseca’s talk, titled “Using the Inertia of Matter and MEMS Systems to Measure and Diagnose Complex Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Diseases”, focused on the development of systems that combine sensors and navigation systems to monitor and manage complex diseases. 

Fonseca is no stranger to Georgia Tech. He received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering and during his Ph.D. he worked with Mark Allen and the late Oliver Brand on MEMS research.  

The Systems Matter Seminar Series brings experts in the areas of materials, devices, and processes together twice a month to share innovative research in those areas. Learn more about the series and view the full list of speakers here.
