Fred und die Edison Lecture Series
Obwohl die Vorlesungen an der Uni erst am 16. beginnen, ist Fred seit Dienstag dieser Woche wieder in Austin um an der Edison Lecture Series mitzuarbeiten. Die Edison Lecture Series ist eine 3-taegige Veranstaltung um bei Middle und High School Schuelern das Interesse am Studium der Naturwissenschaften zu foerdern. Schulklassen mit den Lehrern kommen also nach Austin um sich die Vorfuehrungen anzuschauen.
Das Thema der diesjaehrigen Edison Lecture Series heisst erneuerbare Energie. Da darf natuerlich das Solar Vehicle Team (SVT) nicht fehlen um mit Hilfe ihres Solar Steers die Solartechnik zu demonstrieren. Die Solartechnik basiert im physikalischen Prinzip auf Nutzung der eingestrahlten Sonnenenergie zur Stromgewinnung. Im Falle des Autos trifft das also auf die Batterien (Akkus) zu.
Fred kommt wieder zurueck nach Houston um das letzte Wochenende seiner Weihnachtsferien bei uns zu verbringen. Ich bin schon gespannt, ob er mir Fotos mitbringen wird. Fuer den Augenblick habe ich nur ein Foto von seiner Abfahrt, wo er gerade seinen Kofferraum vollpackt.
Die Homepage der Edison Lecture Series beinhaltet einen kurzen Lebenslauf der Vortragenden. Fuer das Solar Vehicle Team handelt es sich dabei um den Leiter Prof. Hallock. Dabei steht auch der folgende Absatz:
Students assisting Professor Hallock are Jerome Powell, Fred Engelkemeir, Sunny Yeung, Cyrus Bavarian, Jason Bowman, and Ben Zamanian.
Falls sich jemand genauer dafuer interessiert, hier ist der Link (und unterhalb des Fotos kopiere ich Prof. Hallock's CV):

Professor Gary Hallock received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York. He joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in 1984, after working for several years at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee. He has received a number of honors and awards, including the Dumont Award, EFAC Faculty Excellence Award, NASA Certificate of Appreciation, and Dads' Association Centennial Teaching Fellowship. Dr. Hallock's work has resulted in 39 refereed journal publications, 35 refereed conference proceedings, 42 technical reports, 134 professional society presentations, and 26 invited lectures. Dr. Hallock has served as principal investigator or co-principal investigator on 26 research contracts. He has supervised 5 Ph.D. dissertations and 26 masters theses. Dr. Hallock has a number of teaching interests at both the undergraduate and graduate level. He is currently teaching EE 302, Introduction to Electrical and Computer Engineering, which is a freshman introductory courses designed to quickly introduce new students to the excitement of electrical engineering. In addition, Dr. Hallock teaches a two-semester graduate course sequence in plasma processing of semiconductors, which is of interest to graduate students in the solid-state and plasma areas, as well as the Austin-area semiconductor industry. Dr. Hallock is also responsible for the honors section of the senior capstone laboratory. Dr. Hallock's research is in plasma science and involves two different areas in this applied science field. The first involves high performance Hall-type plasma thrusters, which are being developed for stationkeeping of the next generation of communications satellites. Dr. Hallock and his students are concerned with the basic plasma aspects of the thrusters and the effects of the emitted plasma plume on the satellite microwave communication signals. The second area of focus for Dr. Hallock involves the development of sophisticated diagnostics to be used in studies of plasma confinement and turbulence in controlled fusion experiments. Examples of these diagnostics include far-infrared interferometers and phase contrast imaging systems for studying plasma turbulence.
Students assisting Professor Hallock are Jerome Powell, Fred Engelkemeir, Sunny Yeung, Cyrus Bavarian, Jason Bowman, and Ben Zamanian.
