Hayden completed his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT in September 2009, and was a postdoctoral associate at MTL in 2009. His interests at MIT involved inventing and modeling micro- and nano-manufacturing techniques, with a particular emphasis on the use of polymers for making microfluidic devices. Among the processes that he studied and modeled were thermoplastic micro-embossing, nanoimprint lithography, and the plasma-activated bonding of thermoplastics. Hayden also investigated pattern dependencies in the deep reactive ion etching of silicon and explored the use of diffractive test-structures for the in-line monitoring of polymer micro-manufacturing processes. He received his B.A. and M.Eng. degrees from Cambridge University. In January 2014, Hayden joined the University of California at Berkeley as an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering.

After graduating from MIT, Cai joined Palantir Technologies as a software engineer.

Wei joined the Statistical Metrology group in September of 2007, and graduated with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in September 2012. He got his B.S. degree in Microelectronics and M.S. degree in Microelectronics and Solid-state Electronics from Peking University (Beijing, China) in 2004 and 2007. In 2003, Wei joined National Key Laboratory of Micro/Nano Fabrication Technology of Peking University, where he worked on MEMS/NEMS fabrication. He developed a novel method for convex corner compensation in KOH etching on (100) silicon wafers in 2004. The patent of this method was issued in 2006. In 2005, he worked on nano structure fabrication and mechanical properties test. He integrated nano structures with Si MEMS devices and demonstrated the nano beam spring constant test with nanoindenter in 2006. At MIT, Wei’s research interests included design and modeling of IC and MEMS processes, with particular focus on on CMP and ECMP modeling and variation analysis. He is also interested in micro/nano structure properties test and MEMS/NEMS devices design. After graduating from MIT, he joined Cabot Microelectronics.
