About
Monica La Mura is a rising leader in the field of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), with a focused expertise in piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (PMUTs) for advanced sensing applications. Her research centers on developing high-frequency, air-coupled ultrasonic technologies that push the boundaries of resolution in distance measurement, targeting critical needs in robotics, industrial automation, and gesture control. Her most notable contribution is the design and characterization of a 1.5 MHz, 12-element 2-D PMUT array, which achieves exceptional temporal and spatial resolution for airborne ultrasound—a breakthrough detailed in her 2024 paper. This work demonstrates the potential for compact, high-performance sensors that can operate in air, a challenging medium for ultrasound. While early in her career, with her top-cited paper accumulating 1 citation, La Mura’s work is already recognized for its innovative approach to overcoming traditional limitations in MEMS-based ultrasonic transducers. Her achievements signal a promising trajectory in the development of next-generation sensing systems for human-machine interaction and autonomous navigation.
