Mike Hjelmstad promoted to lab manager

Mike Hjelmstad has been promoted to the role of Manager of WTC’s Microfabrication Laboratory. He will replace Eric Miller who served as manager of the research facility from 2004 to 2006.

Mr. Hjelmstad joined WTC in 2004 as a Research Engineer and was responsible for both contract processing and support for users in photolithography and plasma etching.

Prior to joining WTC, Hjelmstad was a graduate student at the University of Michigan. He holds both a Bachelor of Science and a Masters of Science and Engineering from the University of Michigan in Materials Science and Engineering.

“Mike is a real asset to WTC,” says Mary Tedd Allen, Director of Research and Program Operations for WTC. “We’re confident he will make a great manager and leader for the Microfab Lab team.”

Mike says that he’s looking forward to his new role as manager of the laboratory. “I enjoy interacting with our customers, especially showing users the vast capabilities of the facility and how WTC can assist them in their process needs,” he says.

“As lab manager, maintaining high standards of customer service and process innovation will be a core part of my responsibilities. I also intend to ensure this commitment to excellence is recognized not just locally, but nationally.”
