THE MORK FAMILY DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING AND MATERIALS SCIENCE PRESENTS A SEMINAR BY
Thu, Nov 17, 2005 @ 01:00 AM
Mork Family Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Dr. Hugh StittJohnson Matthey"What flow visualisation can teach us about reactor
design (What? Flow visualisation can teach us about
reactor design?)"Abstract:
Reactor design in industry is still dominated by empirical methods and the use of design
margins. Flow visualisation techniques such as tomography and velocimetry are extensively
used as research tool for, especially multiphase, reactors. While the images and movies can
be impressive, they do not in themselve give us quantitative guidance in reactor design. How
should and can we use these to improve reactor design in practice? The use of these
techniques to improve uderstanding of reactor hydrodynamics and their use to underpin and
validate phenomenological models that can potentially used in design will be briefly
reviwed. The question then is how can these techniques benefit scale up, design and
operation of commercial reactors. Examples will be presented of using flow visualisation in
scale up studies and in diagnostic studies of commercial reactors, and the different demands
of flow visualisation in lab, pilot and commercial reactors discussed.Thursday, November 17, 2005

THE HISTORY AND FUTURE OF THE INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
Thu, Nov 17, 2005 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
DISTINGUISHED LECTURER SERIES"The History and Future of the
Integrated Circuit"Prof. Thomas Lee
Stanford UniversityGerontology Auditorium (GER-124)Thursday, November 17, 20052:00-3:00p.m.[A reception will follow at 3:00p.m.]Abstract:Moore's law is rapidly approaching the half-century mark, and many wonder how much longer it can work its magic. This talk doesn't presume an answer to that question, but instead looks at the history of the semiconductor age to suggest possible futures. There will be a focus on the much-underappreciated role of chance in creating semiconductor technology. Relatively few engineers are aware that diodes were a 19th-century discovery, and that the PN junction and even doping were discoveries, the latter aided by a pair of sensitive noses. The path to the future will likely require similar fortuitous discoveries, aided by Pasteur's famous "prepared minds.Bio:Thomas H. Lee received the S.B., S.M. and Sc.D. degrees in electrical engineering, all from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1983, 1985, and 1990, respectively. He joined Analog Devices in 1990 where he was primarily engaged in the design of high-speed clock recovery devices. In 1992, he joined Rambus Inc. in Mountain View, CA where he developed high-speed analog circuitry for 500 megabyte/s CMOS DRAMs. He has also contributed to the development of PLLs in the StrongARM, Alpha and AMD K6/K7/K8 microprocessors. Since 1994, he has been a Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University where his research focus has been on gigahertz-speed wireline and wireless integrated circuits built in conventional silicon technologies, particularly CMOS. He has twice received the "Best Paper" award at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference, co-authored a "Best Student Paper" at ISSCC, was awarded the Best Paper prize at CICC, and is a Packard Foundation Fellowship recipient. He is an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer of both the Solid-State Circuits and Microwave Societies. He holds 35 U.S. patents and authored The Design of CMOS Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuits (now in its second edition), and Planar Microwave Engineering, both with Cambridge University Press. He is a co-author of four additional books on RF circuit design, and also cofounded Matrix Semiconductor.Host: Prof. John Choma, x04692Location: Ethel Percy Andrus Gerontology Center (GER) - ontology Auditorium
