F. Galloway has been selected to receive the Richard F. Shea Distinguished
Member Award. Dr. Galloway received the BA degree from Vanderbilt
University in 1962 and the Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina
in 1966, both in Physics.
Since 1996, he has been Dean of Engineering at Vanderbilt, where
he leads an engineering school of approximately 125 faculty members.
Prior to that he served as Department Head for Electrical and Computer
Engineering at the University of Arizona and he also held professional
appointments at the National Bureau of Standards, the University
of Maryland, the Naval Weapons Support Center-Crane, and Indiana
University.
In his current position as Dean of Engineering, Vanderbilt University
has grown to become the foremost academic program in the world dealing
with radiation effects on electronics. Dr. Galloway received the
NSREC Distinguished Poster Paper Award in 1984 for his work on mobility
degradation and charge separation in MOSFETs, the NSREC Outstanding
Paper Award in 1991 for work on single-event burnout of power bipolar
junction transistors, and the NSREC Outstanding Paper Award in 1998
for contributions to the understanding of enhanced low-dose-rate
sensitivity (ELDRS) in bipolar transistors.
Dr. Galloway has served the NSREC in many capacities, including
General Chairman (1985), Technical Program Chairman (1982), Awards
Committee Chairman (1980), Short Course Instructor (1996), and Session
Chair (2004). He also has been very active in the IEEE Nuclear and
Plasma Sciences Society AdCom, serving as Vice President (1989),
Vice Chairman/Standards (1978), and Member (1987, 1991-1994, 2000-2003).
He has served the Radiation Effects Committee as Executive Vice
Chairman (1988- 1991), Chairman (1991-1994), Past Chairman (1994-1997),
Member at large (1975-1977), and Secretary/Treasurer (1985-1988).
During Dr. Galloway's tenure as Executive Vice-Chair and Chairman
of the NPSS Radiation Effects Committee, a comprehensive set of
guideline documents describing every aspect of organizing the Nuclear
and Space Radiation Effects Conference was created and the Radiation
Effects Data Workshop began. He played a key role in developing
the strong and cordial relationship that exists between NPSS and
the premier European radiation effects conference, RADECS.
Citation: “For leadership, technical, and educational contributions
to the field of radiation effects on microelectronics.”
