Speaker Biography:

Martin Wüest is Senior Scientist in the Vacuum Control business unit of INFICON in Balzers, Liechtenstein. He is involved in research and development of new total pressure sensors ranging from ionization and heat transfer gauges to membrane deflection gauges. Martin graduated in physics from the University of Bern, Switzerland, in 1987 and received his Ph.D. in physics also from the University of Bern in 1991 with a thesis on ion scattering on rough surfaces. Before joining INFICON in 2003 he was senior scientist in the Space Science and Engineering Division of Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio, TX. There he was involved in the design and calibration of mass spectrometers and energetic neutral atom imagers for NASA’s Cassini and IMAGE mission.
