oSTEM
The University of Washington is looking to create a chapter of oSTEM (Out in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math-national chapter URL is http://www.ostem.org/). If you are an LGBTQ student and are interested in participating, please send me an email (gbruno@uw.edu) indicating how you would like to be involved. Advisors from the engineering, science, and the OMA/D are having a couple initial meetings with LGBTQ STEM students to identify what you all would like this group to represent.
EE 400 Nanoelectronic Devices
Instructor: M. P. Anantram (Anant)
anant@uw.edu
Phone: 206-221-5162
Please feel free to contact the instructor with any questions.
Motivation for course:
The feature size in transistors called the channel length has decreased by about
two orders of magnitude in the last thirty plus years. The channel length is less
than 50 nm in commercially available devices today. The Semiconductor Industry
Association expects the channel length to decrease to 10 nm (which is less than
75 atoms long) in the next couple of decades. Quantum mechanical devices with
nanoscale feature sizes such as resonant tunneling diodes and quantum
cascase lasers are being used in applications.
This course deals with the knowledge base to explore nanoelectronic devices
that include the transistor and beyond. This course will focus on both
fundamentals and their applications. The concepts learnt should be beneficial to
students entering both graduate school in EE, Physics, Chemistry and Materials
Science, and industry.
This course is open to EE, ME, MSE and Physics majors.
OptionalText book:
Quantum Transport, Atom to Transistor
Supriyo Datta
Cambridge University Press
Year 2005
ISBN-13 978-0-521-63145-7

Intellectual Ventures Laboratory Summer Intern Program
Intellectual Ventures Laboratory (in Bellevue, WA) is on the lookout for creative minds in the fields of physics, electrical and mechanical engineering, biology, chemistry, and epidemiological modeling. We are rounding up undergrad, Master's student, and PhD student interns for a variety of paid positions in an innovative, dynamic and collaborative (not to mention decked out) lab. This summer you'll be matched up with experts in your area of study who will offer guidance as you contribute to cutting edge projects such as the mosquito-zapping laser, disease eradication modeling, vaccine passive cold storage, and small scale milk pasteurizer, among others.
Intellectual Ventures is the leader in the business of invention. IV Lab is the company's invention research division, which opened for business in 2009. The company and the Lab have recently been featured in Time, Newsweek, The Economist, Wired, Popular Science, the New York Times, 20/20, and Martha Stewart, amongst others. Read about the Lab on our blog site at http://www.intvenlab.com, and about the company at http://www.intellectualventures.com.
