RIT Engineering College Lecture Series Talks Scheduled

“Enhanced Mobility CMOS” will be the focus of a lecture by Judy Hoyt, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1-1:50 p.m. Thursday, March 31, at Rochester Institute of Technology. Hoyt will discuss enhancing CMOS (which stands for complementary metal oxide semiconductor) performance using various combinations of strain, silicon-based heterostructures and silicon-on-insulator technology.

In another upcoming talk, Barry Nelson, a professor of industrial engineering and management sciences at Northwestern University, will address “A Reliable COMPASS [Convergent Optimization via Most-Promising Area Stochastic Search] for Optimizing Simulated Systems” on April 21. Nelson will discuss computer simulation optimization.

Both lectures are free and open to the public. They will be held in RIT’s Xerox Auditorium in the James E. Gleason Building. The talks are part of the Kate Gleason College of Engineering’s Distinguished Speaker Series.
