■Short Biography

Toshiyuki Tsuchiya received the M.S. degree from the University of Tokyo, Japan, and the Ph.D. degree from Nagoya University, Japan, in 1993 and 2004, respectively. He worked with Toyota Central Research and Development Laboratories from 1993 to 2004. In 2004, he joined Kyoto University as an associate professor and now he belongs to the Department of Micro Engineering, Kyoto University, Japan .He is currently engaged in the research of silicon surface micromachining, its application in MEMS, the mechanical property evaluation of micro materials, and the reliability of MEMS devices.
