Northeastern 1st Summer School of Vibrometry

ABOUT THE EVENT

Current trends and latest advancements in Vibrometry & MEMS characterization

Welcome to the 1st Summer School of Vibrometry at Northeastern University, a two-day immersive program dedicated to advancing knowledge and hands-on experience in laser Doppler vibrometry (LDV). Hosted by the Institute of NanoSystems Innovation (NanoSI) at Northeastern University (Boston Campus) on August 20–21, this event brings together experts, researchers, and students for in-depth technical talks, interactive demonstrations, and collaborative learning. With sessions covering LDV fundamentals, novel on-chip acoustic metrology, advanced MEMS/NEMS applications, and structural dynamics, participants will gain practical insights through hands-on training using state-of-the-art equipment, including single-point, microscopic, scanning, and long-range vibrometers. Join us as we explore the cutting-edge of non-contact vibration measurement technology.

The event is free of charge. Limited capacity, registration accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
