PHELPS GRANT AWARDED TO
RADIATION EFFECTS STUDENTS

On behalf of NPSS, we are proud to announce two recipients for the Paul Phelps Continuing Education Grant.

Younes Boulghassoul
Younes Boulghassoul received a Master in Electrical Engineering in 2000 from the Montpellier 2 University, Montpellier, France and a Master in Electrical Engineering in 2002 from Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN. He is currently working on a Ph. D. degree in electrical engineering at Vanderbilt, continuing work on fundamental studies of the analog single event transient (ASET) phenomenon in advanced analog and mixed-signal circuits in aggressively-scaled fabrication technologies. As a master’s student, he has written or contributed to 7 published papers. He recently presented a paper titled "Applicability of Circuit Macromodeling to Analog Single-Event Transient Analysis," at the 2003 Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference, Monterey, CA. Younes was nominated by his professor, Dr. Lloyd Massengill.

Iwan Cornelius
Iwan Cornelius is pursuing the Ph. D. degree at the University of Wollongong, Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. Iwan has worked on the detection of fast neutrons with silicon sensors and simulation of energy deposited from recoil protons in small silicon volumes. His PhD project is related to microdosimetry using SOI devices. Iwan has performed experimental measurements and theoretical Monte Carlo simulations of energy deposition and charge collection in SOI devices from heavy ion microbeams. He has 5 published papers (first author on 4), is the recipient of the 2002 Australian Institute of Physics (AIP) Award for Postgraduate Excellence and is a 2000-2003 Australian Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering (AINSE) Scholar. Iwan recently presented two papers at the 2003 Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference, Monterey, CA. He was nominated by his professor, Dr. Anatoly Rosenfeld.

It should be noted that both students have submitted papers for publication in the December 2003 issue of the Transactions on Nuclear Science. Both students are members of IEEE and NPSS.

Professors should consider nominating their most promising students before May 15, 2004. Forms can be found on the NSREC web site at www.nsrec.com.
