Pelle Rangsten, born in Sweden 1968, holds a PhD in Solid-State Electronics from Uppsala University, Sweden. His thesis from 1999, entitled ”Microstructure Technology in Quartz, Silicon, and Diamond” evolves around Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology in general, and manufacturing processes in monocrystalline quartz and silicon, and polycrystalline diamond more specifically. Post university studies he has been working in small high-tech companies focused on MEMS-based products in application fields from medtech (Radi Medical Technologies) via MEMS foundry (Silex Microsystems) to space applications (Swedish Space Corporation/NanoSpace). He currently works in the medtech field again at Ascilion AB as co-founder/CTO where he develops microneedle-based products combined with sensing and analysis of interstitial fluid within the field of healthcare and life science.
