Berkeley Autonomous Microsystems Lab

Dillon Acker-James

I'm a PhD student in EECS with Professor Pister. I joined the group in the summer of 2019 after graduating with BS degrees in electrical engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara; I thought I wanted to work on transistors but Professor Pister challenged and inspired me to not limit myself!

I build some of our group's little robots and am working to integrate CMOS technology (transistors, diodes, and solar cells) into the MEMS process. We have a lot of underutilized space and I want to make the most of ever micron.

Making medical devices is my goal.
