   MALVERN technologist Dr Vishal Nayar has been appointed the new chairman of the ICT Cluster Opportunity Group.
   
   The group is the private sector-led strategic advisory body for the Information & Communica-tions Technology industry in the West Midlands.
   
   Dr Nayar is employed by the Malvern-based defence and technology company QinetiQ as general manager for technology strategy, and he also has a role as business manager, Japan, promoting electronics and information technologies.
   
   He succeeds Chris Gollings, of Grange Associates, a consultancy in IT Outsourcing, who has chaired the group since it was formed in 2003.
   
   Dr Nayar said: "The ICT COG members are a proactive group and Chris's chairmanship successfully established the approach of the group in delivering AWM's cluster goals.

   Vishal Nayar, Business Manager for QinetiQ Microsystems and Microengineering, says: "Our approach with a number of customers is to start with a small project of say, a few thousand pounds, and provide confidence before going on to larger projects.In addition, we have a quick bid turnaround for small projects of the kind required by small and medium-sized enterprises."
   
   QinetiQ's background in MEMS technology is largely military - for example, it has developed sensors for missiles and munitions that can withstand 10,000 to 100,000 atmospheres of pressure.However, says Nayar, "we always look at possible dual uses for our technology.High-G sensors would appear not to have any application in non-military arenas, but they could be used in geological survey applications where explosive charges propel sensors into rock strata allowing detailed information gathering."
   
   MEMS can create huge cost-saving opportunitiesQinetiQ has created MEMS prototypes for microheaters, inertial sensors, micro-optics, acoustic microsensors and structural microsensors.And Nayar says that the company is "discussing several strategic partnerships and relationships in optical and RF communications".QinetiQ is also working on very small devices that are "approaching the nanometre scale", including nanocrystalline "porous silicon" for chemical and biological applications.This latter technology has led to a major joint venture called pSiMedica, which will marry electronics and living tissue to create novel therapies.
   
   Such projects have established QinetiQ as a leading MEMS developer, but the company's reputation was given a further boost in January 2001 when it won a 1.8m Euro contract from the European Union to assess the production worthiness of a key piece of equipment used by the MEMS industry.The "Microspect" programme will establish whether a new "high-rate, deep dry-etch cluster system" called ASPECT (TM) (which etches silicon wafers at very high speed using a plasma) has the reliability, flexibility and performance for automated MEMS manufacture.QinetiQ will collaborate with Surface Technology Systems, who manufacture the system, and with several high-volume MEMS developers - Philips, Olivetti, Analog Devices (Belfast), BCO Technologies and VTT.
