Nickolai Belov received his M.S in 1981 and Ph.D. in 1989 in Electrical Engineering from the Moscow Physics Engineering institute (MPhEI). In 1981-96, he worked in Sensoelectronic Laboratory at MPhEI designing and developing different piezosensitive sensors. In 1992-96 Dr. Belov was the head of the Sensoelectronic Laboratory. In 1996-2002 he worked at IC Sensors (Milpitas, CA) where he was involved both in design and development of different types of MEMS devices and support of high-volume production of automotive air-bag accelerometers. In 2002-2003 Dr. Belov was VP of R&D at MegaSense (Sunnyvale, CA) where he lead development of MEMS-based devices for optical applications and also single-chip 3D accelerometer and 3D force sensor for hand-held devices and other consumer applications. Currently Dr. Belov works at Nanochip (Fremont, CA) ­ leading company in probe storage development.
