CHAIRMAN'S COLUMN

We thank the students and faculty who participated in the ECE Forum last Thursday. It was very successful and productive due to the efforts of the IEEE and HKN student chapters' officers.

Congratulations are in order to our alumnus James Brailean who received his PhD in 1993 in ECE (advisor: A.K. Katsaggelos). He is the recipient of the 2005 Alumni Merit Award. He is the youngest recipient of this prestigious award this year.

We have three seminars of interest to ECE this week:

Erick Michel of Triquint Optoelectronics, is speaking on Tuesday (March 1, at 11:00 in room L324) on "MOCVD Growth of InP-based Optoelectronic Devices."

Mehmet Fatih Yanik of Stanford University, is speaking on Thursday (March 3, at 11:00 in room L324) on "Nano and Bio-Photonics."

Lauren C. States, Vice President, Technical Sales and Customer Deployment of IBM, is speaking on Friday (March 4, at 9:00 in the J.B. Cohen Commons) on "How to Become a Technical Leader in Corporate America."
