Aaron Partridge received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA, in 1996, 1999, and 2003, respectively. His thesis was on MEMS accelerometers for the NASA X-33 space plane and the first thin-film encapsulated piezoresistive accelerometers. From 1987 to 1991, he was a founder and Chief Scientist of Atomis, Inc., Berkeley, CA, USA, a manufacturer of scanning tunneling microscopes, atomic force microscopes, and ballistic emission electron microscopes. From 2001 to 2004, he was a Project Manager with the Robert Bosch Research and Technology Center, Palo Alto, CA, USA, where he coordinated the MEMS resonator and packaging research. He is currently a founder and Chief Scientist of SiTime Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA, USA, where he guides the technological direction. He has authored or co-authored 30 scientific papers and holds 70 patents. Dr. Partridge has served on the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference Imagers, MEMS, Medical and Displays Subcommittee. He is the Editorial Chair of the IEEE International Frequency Control Symposium, and is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control.
