<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Faculty and Staff,</div><div><br></div><div>This year’s Kyoto Prize Symposium will be held from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, March 21, in the Fowler Family Ballroom at the Parma Payne Goodall Alumni Center.</div><div><br></div><div>The Kyoto Prize Laureate in advanced technology is Dr. Takashi Mimura, a semiconductor engineer and Honorary Fellow at Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. Dr. Mimura invented the High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) with a new structure, in which two layered semiconductors are stacked. He revealed that HEMT has excellent high-frequency characteristics because of its high mobility nature of electrons. This invention has led to significant advancements both in information and communications technology and in studies of the physics of electrons confined in ultrathin conductive layers.</div><div><br></div><div>I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to hear this extraordinary scholar share his knowledge and achievements.</div><div><br></div><div>It is important that we have a full audience, please register here:
