Plenary 1 KEYNOTE SESSIONS I 9:45 AM – 10:30 AM

Dr. Chang-Yong Nam Center for Functional Nanomaterials Brookhaven National Laboratory E-mail: cynam@bnl.gov Web: www.bnl.gov/staff/cynam | “Energy-Efficient, Extremely Downscaled Semiconductor Devices” Semiconductors are a crucial component of modern electronics, enabling essential functions in society such as communication, computing, healthcare, military systems, transportation, and clean energy, among countless others. However, the ever-increasing demand for high performance and bandwidth in electronics is presenting unprecedented energy efficiency challenges for semiconductor technologies. To address this, we require a fundamental paradigm shift in electronics architecture as well as extreme downscaling of semiconductor devices beyond Moore’s law. During this talk, I will showcase our recent efforts to address these challenges, specifically the development of new hybrid materials for: (a) advanced photoresists for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography for advanced node semiconductor chips, and (b) brain-inspired neuromorphic memory devices. If time permits, I will also briefly explain a novel patterning technique enabled the application of self-assembled block copolymers (BCPs). |

Dr. Nam’s research is focused on two primary areas: (a) the Development of ALD methods towards microelectronics and energy applications; (b) Materials processing and device physics in low-dimensional semiconductors. His awards include Battelle Inventor of the Year (2022), Winner of DOE National Labs Accelerator Pitch Event (2021), BNL Spotlight Awards (2022, 2018, 2011), and Goldhaber Distinguished Fellowship (2007). |
Plenary 2 KEYNOTE SESSIONS II 3:45 PM – 4:30 PM
April 29., 2023 DR. YOUNG-KEE KIM
Dr. Chang-Yong Nam Professor, University of Chicago E-mail: ykkim@hep.uchicago.edu | “Making the Invisible Visible: Searching for Fundamental Laws of Nature” This talk is about a journey of particle physicists in searching for the smallest (the most fundamental unit of matter or the most basic building blocks of the universe) and the forces acting among them, and in discovering their intimate connection to the largest and to new mysterious building blocks of the universe. In this process, novel technologies to make the invisible visible play a crucial role. This talk will include my personal involvement in this journey. It will end with the leadership gap that Asian Americans have been facing and potential ways to make Asian Americans more visible and to narrow the gap. |
