Congratulations:

     Prof. Charles Ahn, AP& Physics, has been selected to receive

    one of AVS Science and Technology Society's premier honors,

    the Peter Mark Memorial Award for 2003. This award honors

    a young scientist or engineer for outstanding theoretical or

    experimental work. Prof. Ahn was singled out "For his pioneering

    work on epitaxial complex oxide thin film heterostructures."

    The award consists of an invited lecture at the AVS 50th

    International Symposium, a $6,500 cash prize (plus reimbursement

    of travel expenses), and a certificate. Prof. Ahn will deliver his

Prof. Kuc to be featured on Discovery Channel:

    "Wild Tech," a new series on the Discovery Channel, is developing

    a seven-part documentary series on the differences and similarities

    between nature and technology in the areas of speed, navigation,

    communication, and sight. On June 18, Prof. Roman Kuc, EE,

    will be interviewed in his Intelligent Sensors Lab for the segment

    on machines that see with sound. No date has yet been set for

    the airing of this documentary series.

 

Engineering facilities renovations accelerate:

    Mr. Joe Carvalho has joined us June 2 as the new Coordinator

    for Engineering Facilities Project Management. He will serve as

    facilitator between the Faculty of Engineering and Yale University

    Planning and Project Management groups for the renovations

    of Engineering facilities and for the new Engineering building.

    He will also assist with the current updating of our office space

    allocations and moveable equipment inventory.

 

    Mr. Carvalho received his ME degree from the Bridgeport Engineering

    Institute. He has worked in wafer semiconductors instrumentation

    at Perkin Elmer Corp., Wilton, industrial 6-degree robotics at

    Unimation, Inc., Bethel, CT, and precious metals and powders

    R&D at Handy and Harman, Fairfield. At US Surgical, he was

    the project engineer for R&D on suture materials and for lab

    renovation and equipment. He worked at GE Panametrics

    and at Cosa Instrument as the East Coast regional manager for

    10 years. He was also a private consultant on process/environmental/

    maintenance cost analysis and appropriate technology. He has

    worked at Yale on cooling/heating and data acquisition systems,

    including building automation and energy savings programs.

 

    Mr. Carvalho lives in Shelton with his wife, Laurie, a Shisheido

    sales manager for Eastern New York State and Connecticut.

    Their son will start on his M.S. in engineering at UCONN in

    the fall and their daughter will be a Junior at the University

    of Rhode Island. A note to our golfers: Mr. Carvalho loves the

    sport and has enjoyed it in many places, including Hawaii.

Engineering Summer Softball Team wins 25-5:

    Last Mon., June 2, the Engineering Summer Softball Team trounced

    the New Haven and State Affairs team. Engineering softball coach

    Jeffrey McCutcheon, of Prof. Menachem Elimelech's Membrane Group,

    reports: "The Engineering team got off to a hot start with a 7 run

    first inning and followed up with some defensive skill, retiring the

    opposing team 1-2-3 in the bottom of the first. Things only got better

    for the engineering team, as they routed the grossly overmatched

    New Haven and State Affairs team by a final score of 25-5. Jeff

    McCutcheon (1-0) picked up the win with 5 IP, 2 ER. Tyler Radnieki

    was MVP for the game, going 5 for 6 with 1 home run, 2 triples,

    and 8 RBI's."
