Conference on Moore's Law and Radiation Effects on Microelectronics

On June 7th, 2019, the "ISAE-SUPAERO IEEE Student Branch" association, supported by the ISAE-SUPAERO Foundation, the IEEE NPSS chapter, the IEEE French Section, organized a conference on "Moor's Law and radiation Effects on Microelectronics" held by Prof. Daniel Fleetwood from Vanderbilt University, Tennessee, USA.

Dan Fleetwood received his Ph.D. from Purdue University in 1984. He joined Sandia National Laboratories in 1984 as a Member of the Technical Staff. In 1990, he was named a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff. Dan accepted a position as Professor of Electrical Engineering at Vanderbilt University in 1999 and holds a secondary appointment as Professor of Physics. In 2001-2003 he served as Associate Dean for Research in the School of Engineering. In 2003 he was named Chairman of Vanderbilt’s Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department, and in 2009 he was named Olin H. Landreth Chair in Engineering. Dan is the author or co-author of more than 500 publications on radiation effects and low-frequency noise, which have been cited more than 18,000 times (Google Scholar). He received the 2009 IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Merit Award, the society’s highest technical honor, and is a Fellow of IEEE and the American Physical Society.

Before the talk, the interventions of Alexandre Le Roch and Federico Pace introduced to the public the Student Branch as well as its partners. Finally, the technical talk gave rise to lots of questions among the students as well as external auditors, creating an interesting dialogue. The conference continued with a buffet to further discuss the topics raised during the event.
