NSREC Conference Plans
by Ron Schrimpf, RESG Chairman
The 2007 NSREC will be held at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel
in Honolulu, Hawaii. Lloyd Massengill of Vanderbilt University,
Conference General Chairman, is well along in organizing an excellent
conference. This will be the first NSREC to be held in Hawaii and
it will take place at the premier conference site on the island
of Oahu.
NSREC 2008 Conference General Chair, Paul Dodd, Sandia National
Laboratories, has selected the JW Marriott Starr Pass resort in
Tucson, Arizona, a brand new resort which will be ideal for conference
sessions, posters, exhibit and social activities.
The 2009 Conference General Chair will be Mark Hopkins of The Aerospace
Corporation. Mark is currently considering sites for the conference
and will host the spring meeting of the RESG at the site he proposes.
Radiation Effects Award
Nominations are currently being accepted for the 2006 IEEE Nuclear
and Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS) Radiation Effects Award. The
purpose of the award is to recognize individuals who have had a
sustained history of outstanding and innovative technical and/or
leadership contributions to the radiation effects community. The
$2000 cash award and plaque will be presented at the IEEE NSREC
in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, July 17-21, 2006.Nomination forms
are available electronically at http://www.nsrec.com/nominate.htm.
Nominations must be submitted by March 17, 2006.
Additional information can be obtained from Steve Clark, Senior
Member-at-Large for the Radiation Effects Steering Group. Mr. Clark
can be reached at 505-846-6067 or at steven.clark@kirtland.af.mil.
Paul Phelps Student Award
University professors may nominate a graduate student for the prestigious
Paul Phelps Continuing Education Grant for exceptional graduate
students in the NPSS fields. Nominees must be a member of NPSS.
The award is for $500 to attend the 2006 NSREC Short Course in Ponte
Vedra Beach, Florida, in July 2006. Submission deadline is May 15,
2006. Forms can be obtained at www.nsrec.com/steeringcommittee
and be sent to Member-at-Large, Veronique Ferlet-Cavrois at veronique.ferlet@cea.fr.
Member-At-Large Elected
Wayne Abare was elected Junior-Member-at-Large of the Radiation
Effects Steering Group during the annual Open Meeting at the 2005
Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC).
Wayne has over 35 years of experience in research and development
related to radiation effects on semiconductor technologies. He joined
Harris Corporation in 1969 as an Analog Design Engineer, then soon
transitioned to work on natural and man-made radiation effects for
military space and avionics platforms. Mr. Abare plans and controls
the technical performance requirements for nuclear and space radiation
effects on aerospace proposals and programs within Harris Government
Communications System Division (GCSD). His technical work has encompassed
both theoretical and experimental activities which have covered
a wide range of semiconductor technologies, including fiber optics,
from the device physics level to the circuit and system implementation
level. He graduated from the University of South Florida, BSEE,
MSEE. He annually attends the IEEE Symposium on Nuclear and Space
Radiation Effects (NSRE). He has published several papers at this
Conference and in 1989 was a Short Course Instructor.
Outstanding and Meritorious Papers at the
2005 Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference
The Awards Committee for the 2005 Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects
Conference, chaired by Jim Kinnison, JHU/APL, completed the evaluation
of technical papers presented at the Conference, with the following
results.
The Outstanding Conference Paper is:
Effects of Particle Energy on Proton-Induced Single-Event Latchup,
James R. Schwank, Marty R. Shaneyfelt, Jacques Baggio, Paul E. Dodd,
James A. Felix, Veronique Ferlet-Cavrois, Philippe Paillet, Damien
Lambert, Fred W. Sexton, Gerald L. Hash, and Ewart Blackmore.
The NSREC Awards Committee has selected a Radiation Effects Data
Workshop presentation for recognition. This year the paper selected
as Outstanding Radiation Effects Data Workshop Presentation is:
Radiation Belt Modeling for Spacecraft Design: Model Comparisons
for Common Orbits, Jean-Marie Lauenstein and Janet L. Barth.
