 New
Distinguished Lecturers, New Alternate Lecture Formats |
|
There are four new Distinguished Lecturers for
the IEEE EMC Society: Dr. Eric Bogatin, Dr. Alistair Duffy, Professor
Stephan Frei, and Dr. Tzong-Lin Wu. These colleagues have a wide
spectrum of expertise and experience, and all have industry experience
as practicing engineers. The new lecturers are introduced herein,
together with the representative topics on which they are interested
in lecturing.
The EMC Society’s Distinguished Lecturer
Program provides speakers for Society chapter meetings and similar
functions. Each Distinguished Lecturer (DL) can offer one of several
pre-prepared presentations on various EMC topics. DLs are appointed
by the EMC Society Board of Directors for a two-year term. Currently
the Society has five Lecturers serving on alternating terms. |
Dr.
Eric Bogatin received his BS degree in physics from MIT,
and MS and Ph.D. degrees in physics from the University of Arizona
in Tucson. He has held senior engineering and management positions
at Bell Labs, Raychem, Sun Microsystems, Ansoft, and Interconnect
Devices. Over the last 30 years, he has written four books, over
200 columns and more than 200 feature articles on signal integrity
and interconnect design. He is currently president of Bogatin
Enterprises, focusing on training and education for Signal Integrity
Engineers. The areas on which his lectures will focus are:
Dr.
Alistair Duffy is a Reader in Electromagnetics at De
Montfort University, Leicester, United Kingdom. He read for his
BEng(Hons) and MEng degrees in Cardiff (University College, University
of Wales) graduating in 1988 and 1989 respectively. During his
first degree, he was sponsored by Oyster Terminals Ltd who specialised
in hand-held controllers and data collectors. He worked there
after graduation for two years (1988 – 1990) where he took
on a variety of roles including buyer, development engineer, sales
support engineer and marketing engineer. The lure of electromagnetics
was too great and in 1990 he went to work as a research assistant
in Nottingham University reading also for a Ph.D. with Professors
Christopoulos and Benson, graduating with a Ph.D. in “Coupling
of electromagnetic waves into wires – experiments and simulations”.
After a one-year post doctoral study at Nottingham, he moved to
Leicester to lecture in communications and researching in related
electromagnetic phenomena. He is currently also the Head of the
Engineering Division at De Montfort University, he has published
approximately 150 technical papers and also holds an MBA. Dr.
Duffy’s areas of specialization, and the topics on which
the lectures are based, center on three of the main topics that
have taken up many waking hours (and some sleeping hours as well),
including:
Professor
Stephan Frei was a research assistant for EMC at the
Technical University in Berlin, Institute of Electrical Power
Engineering from 1995-1999. There, he investigated the influence
of ESD on electronic devices and the occurrence rate of ESD in
typical environments. In 1999 he began to work at the car manufacturer
AUDI AG, where he introduced and developed new methods for the
computation of EMC in automobiles. Also the data flow and process
integration of EMC-computation were important topics of his work.
Beginning from 2001, he was as senior engineer responsible for
the EMC development of a product line and international standardization.
Since 2006 he is a professor for vehicular electronic systems
at Dortmund University of Technology. At the university, he works
on automotive EMC and ESD problems. Professor Frei is member or
chairman of numerous standardization and working groups. The topics
on which he will lecture are:
Dr.
Tzong-Lin Wu received the B.S.E.E. and Ph.D. degrees
from National Taiwan University (NTU), Taipei, Taiwan, in 1991
and 1995, respectively. From 1995 to 1996, he was a senior Engineer
at the Microelectronics Technology, Inc., Hsinchu, Taiwan. From
1996 to 1998, he joined the Central Research Institute, Tatung
Company, Taipei, Taiwan, where he was involved with the analysis
and measurement of EMC/EMI problems of high-speed digital systems.
From 1998 to 2005, he was with the Electrical Engineering Department
of National Sun Yat-Sen University. He is currently a professor
with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Graduate Institute
of Communication Engineering, NTU, Taiwan. His research interests
include EMC/EMI and signal/power integrity design for high-speed
digital/optical systems. Dr. Wu received the Excellent Research
Award and Excellent Advisor Award from NSYSU in 2000 and 2003,
respectively, Outstanding Young Engineers Award from the Chinese
Institute of Electrical Engineers (CIEE) in 2002, and Wu Ta-You
Memorial Award from National Science Council (NSC) in 2005. He
was also listed in Marquis Who’s Who in the World in 2001.
Dr. Wu has served as the Chair of the Taipei Section, Institute
of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE)
and the Treasurer of Taipei Section, IEEE both since 2007. He
has served as the associate editor of the International Journal
of Electrical Engineering (IJEE) since 2006. Dr. Wu is a senior
member of IEEE and the member of IEICE and CIEE. Topics that Dr.
Wu will lecture on are:|
