[Staff] Fwd: Kyoto Prize Symposium - March 18

[Monte Mehrabadi]

Dear Colleagues:

This year's Kyoto Prize Symposium will be held Tuesday, March 18, from 10
to 11:30 a.m., in Montezuma Hall at the Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union.



The Kyoto Prize Laureate in advanced technology is Dr. Robert Heath Dennard
who invented what is considered one of the most significant advances in
computer technology, Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM).



Dennard's invention, DRAM, is now used in computers, cell phones, tablets
and other computer devices, allowing them to perform complex operations
more quickly, more efficiently, and with less cost. His innovation has
increased immensely the capacity of digital information storage, leading to
dramatic progress in information and telecommunications technology.



Dennard and his colleagues also proposed guidelines, called "scaling
theory," a framework for understanding and predicting the changes needed to
maintain or improve MOS transistor functioning with increasingly smaller
chips. "Scaling theory" plays a key role in promoting advancement in
integrated circuit technology.


I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to hear this
extraordinary scholar share his knowledge and achievements. It is important
that we have a full audience, and if you have not already registered,
please do so by visiting:  SDSU Kyoto event registration link

Thank you for your support.

Monte
