Don't Be Reviewer #2: Conducting a Rigorous, Fair, and Constructive Research Manuscript Review
|
| |
|
| |
Date: 24 July 2023 @ 8:00 AM (Eastern Daylight Time) via Zoom
Speaker: Prof. Patrick Fay, University of Notre Dame
Moderator: Prof. Alba Avila, University of Los Andes
Abstract:
Serving the scientific community through participation in peer review of scientific manuscripts is an important step in a researcher’s career trajectory, and invitations to provide peer reviews are a marker of professional success. When done well, peer review can elevate the scientific rigor and impact of research world-wide and be a significant service to the scientific community and society more broadly. This presentation and seminar will discuss how to get involved in the peer review process, some best practices and practical considerations for reviews, and some pitfalls to avoid when reviewing manuscripts for scientific journals.
This free webinar is produced by the Membership Committee of the IEEE Electron Devices Society.

Symposium on Schottky Barrier MOS Devices 2023
|
| |
|
| |
Researchers, scientists and young professionals are welcome to join the seventh Symposium on Schottky Barrier MOS devices.
The first meeting was held in the summer of 2016. It was a spontaneous workshop organized by Mike Schwarz, this time being part of Robert Bosch GmbH, who met Tillmann Krauss, being part of TU Darmstadt and John P. Snyder from JCap, LLC. They discussed the challenges, benefits and possible future projects of these devices. In the meantime, Laurie Calvet and Alexander Kloes joined the organization team and the workshop was established. It moves from year to year to different locations in Europe and combines in general different aspects/focus of SB devices.
This year the joint R&D Chapter event will be held from 28-29 September. It is sponsored by the École Polytechnique, Institut Polytechnique de Paris and the IEEE EDS France and Germany Chapters, and organized by Dr. Laurie Calvet, Dr. Denis Tondelier and Prof. Yvan Bonnassieux (École Polytechnique, Institut Polytechnique de Paris, France), Prof. Mike Schwarz and Prof. Alexander Kloes (NanoP THM, Germany).
The Symposium on Schottky Barrier MOS devices is free, no fees are required. The attendance does not include accommodation and transport. Learn more here.

SSCS WiC & WiEDS Diversity Panel Luncheon - “How Does Diversity Impact Productivity in Your Organization?”
|
| |
|
| |
A Diversity Panel Luncheon, co-sponsored by the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society's Women in Circuits (WiC), and the IEEE Electron Devices Society's Women in Electron Devices (WiEDS), was held June 13th at the Rihga Royal Hotel, Kyoto, Japan, at the 2023 Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits.
“How Does Diversity Impact Productivity in Your Organization?” was moderated by SSCS WiC committee members, Kazuko Nishimura and Farhana Sheikh. A total of 40 attendees were there to hear the insights from outstanding panelists from the academic and semiconductor industry:
- Pei-Wen Li (National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University)
- Kentaro Yoshioka (Keio University)
- Alvin Loke (NXP Semiconductors)
- Zeynep Toprak Deniz (IBM T. J. Watson Research Center).
They all unanimously agreed that an organization with high monotonicity is easier for management and making quick, near-term progress, whereas diversity requires more inclusive management and mutual understanding between members and will definitely create long-term impactful profit. Diversity is not limited to gender, but also includes nationality, expertise, and mindset. You will get better nutrition when you embrace diversity. “Top-down” strategy is key to fostering an inclusive and diverse culture/environment in the organization and in daily life. They shared the strategic deployment of their organizations and how the ambiance of their working environment influences their productivity. The session was remarkable because of active participation by the senior semiconductor professionals and international students who were able to interact freely and share their insights/experiences for well over an hour on topics such as bridging the divide, understanding local cultures, fostering the inclusive mindset and most importantly, how to embrace diversity.
