Prof. Cicek a reçu son doctorat en génie électrique de l'Université McGill (Montréal) en 2016 avec nomination pour le prix d'excellence de l'ADESAQ. Depuis 2009, il a oeuvré comme chef du génie en MEMS et directeur de la division des microsystèmes chez MEMS Vision, une entreprise qu'il a co-fondée. En 2014, il a été engagé comme professeur à l'Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), où il explore ses intérêts de recherche liés aux microtechnologies: MEMS, microfluidique, microélectronique, encapsulation, et leur intégration mutuelle.
Prof. Cicek est un expert en microfabrication, et possède plus de 10 ans d'expérience en salle blanche. À ce jour, il a rédigé une vingtaine de publications scientifiques et détient 7 brevets accordés. Plein de nouvelles réalisations à l'horizon grâce au µTIC!
