Edward Birdsell (Ph. D. Student)

	Biographical Sketch Edward Birdsell received his B.S. in Ceramic Engineering from the University of Missouri – Rolla in 1997 (www.umr.edu). He received his M.S. from the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2000 (www.ece.gatech.edu). He is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering (www.me.gatech.edu). His research areas have focused on laser micromachining and fabrication techniques for devices for use in harsh environments. His current research involves the development of wireless sensors (temperature and chemical) for use in high temperature environments.
