Mork Family Department Distinguished Lecture Series
Thu, Oct 26, 2006 @ 12:30 PM - 02:00 PM
Mork Family Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Biomolecules, Nanostructures and Interfaces -Time Resolved Vibrational Spectroscopy of
Materials and Material TransformationsProfessor Dana D. Dlott
School of Chemical Sciences and
Fredrick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory
University of Illinois at Urbana-ChampaignIn this talk I will discuss novel techniques of ultrafast laser vibrational spectroscopy and their applications to materials and material transformations. These techniques provide detailed pictures of molecular dynamics with the kind of ultrahigh time and space resolution that has previously been available only in computer simulations. Illustrative examples will be presented including: combustion of energetic materials containing nanoparticles, structural fluctuations at the active sites of proteins, energy transduction in molecular nanostructures and interfaces, and electrochemical processes at nanostructured fuel cell electrodes.Bio: Dana D. Dlott received a B.A. degree from Columbia University in 1974 and a Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1979 under the supervision of Prof. Michael D. Fayer. In 1979 he joined the faculty at the University of Illinois. Dlott is an experimental physical chemist known for his novel applications of ultrafast nonlinear coherent spectroscopic methods to condensed phase dynamics. Current research in his laboratory includes studies of nanomaterials, molecular and biomolecular materials, shock compression science, fundamental mechanisms of energetic materials including nanotechnology materials, dynamics of surfaces and interfaces, electrochemical surface science, and applications of lasers in imaging science.
He is an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow and a Fellow of AAAS, APS and OSA

Getting an IE Job
Thu, Oct 26, 2006 @ 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM
Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
University Calendar
Is IE a profession or a job? The upcoming student webcast will answer that question and more. Register here.Title: Getting an IE job?Date: October 26 @ 1:00pm ETThis presentation questions if a job will be enough for a fulfilling IE career. It highlights classic distinctions between the nature of a "job" and a "profession". The broader potential for satisfaction as an IE professional is discussed, along with many pointers as to how to expand beyond the duties of your job to your role as an IE professional. A brief overview of IIE today is included to provide insight as to the many opportunities for professional activities.Key points: What are the differences between a job and a profession?How can you become an IE professional?What can being a professional mean to you, to others?How does IIE support your professional role and goals?Register now for this free webcast - http://www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi?p=WEB225RRJYU9GFSpeaker Bio:Louis E. Freund received his BS and MS in Industrial Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis, MO USA and his Ph.D. In Industrial Engineering from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. He served on the full time faculty at the University of Missouri – Columbia from 1971-75, and joined the ISE Department at San Jose State University in 1986. He became Department Chair in 2001. Between 1975 and 1986 Dr. Freund held various industry positions generally in the field of the application of Industrial Engineering methodologies in hospitals and other health care delivery facilities. He specialized in the area of nurse staffing for inpatient units, developing a measure of patient acuity and nursing workload based on assignment difficulty. Since joining SJSU, he has continued his consulting practice in the areas of health care systems productivity, systems simulation, workplace ergonomics, and statistical process control. He is a Fellow in the Institute of Industrial Engineers and is currently is serving IIE as a National Vice President for Technical Networking. He also is currently chairing a sub-committee of the Council of Industrial Engineering Academic Department Heads (CIEADH) that is designing and implementing a new (global) "Innovations in Curriculum" award this year. He is a recipient of an IBM 2006 Faculty Award in the area of services science, management, and engineering.

CS Distinguished Lecture Series
Thu, Oct 26, 2006 @ 03:30 PM - 05:00 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Dr. David S. Johnson
At&T Labs - Research
Florham Park, NJTitle: Compressing Rectilinear Pictures and Minimizing Access Control ListsAbstract: We consider a geometric model for the problem of minimizing access control lists (ACLs) in network routers, a model that also has applications to rectilinear picture compression and figure drawing in common graphics software packages. Here the goal is to create a colored rectilinear pattern within an initially white rectangular canvas, and the basic operation is to choose a subrectangle and paint it a single color, overwriting all previous colors in the rectangle. Rectangle Rule List (RRL) minimization is the problem of finding the shortest list of rules needed to create a given pattern. ACL minimization is a restricted version of this problem where the set of allowed rectangles must correspond to pairs of IP address prefixes. In this talk I'll summarize some recent combinatorial and algorithmic results we have obtained for these two problems.Biography: David S. Johnson is a computer scientist specializing in algorithms and optimization. He is currently the head of the Algorithms and Optimization Department of AT & T Labs Research. Johnson graduated summa cum laude from Amherst College in 1967, then earned his S.M. from MIT in 1968 and his Ph.D. from MIT in 1973. All three of his degrees are in mathematics. He is the coauthor of Computers and Intractability: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness (ISBN 0-7167-1045-5)Hosted by: Prof. David KempeLocation: Seaver Science Library (SSL) - 150
