Prof. Dr. Jan Vanfleteren obtained his degree in Electronics Engineering from the University of Gent in 1981, and his Ph.D. from the same University in 1987. From 1982 on, he worked at the Laboratory of Electronics of the University of Gent, where he was involved in research on Thin Film Transistors and Flat Panel Displays. From 1994 on, Prof. Dr. Jan Vanfleteren worked for IMEC, the Interuniversity Micro Electronics Centre, with headquarters in Leuven, as a project manager. He has been the coordinator of the EC-FP5-Growth funded project IMECAT and of the FP6 IST Integrated Project (IP) SHIFT (“Smart High Integration Flex Technologies”). His recent research interests include the development and application of stretchable (elastic as well as (thermo)plastic) circuit technologies, based on standard PCB circuits and assembly, as well as on thin-film metal interconnections. From 1 October 2004, Prof. Dr. Jan Vanfleteren was appointed as a part-time Professor at the University of Gent.
