Signing Ceremony of the
Collaboration Agreement between EE departments of KFUPM and Georgia Tech |
|
| |
During the occasion of KFUPM 50th
anniversary on Tuesday April 3, 2012, in the presence of H.E. the
Minister of Higher Education, Dr. Khaled Al-Ankari, the rector of
KFUPM, Dr. Khaled Al-Sultan and the provost of Georgia Institute
of technology, Dr. Rafael Bras: they both signed the
collaboration agreement between the electrical engineering departments
at the two institutes. This agreement will create the first program in
shaping a strategic partnership between Georgia Tech and KFUPM.
The objectives of the agreement are:
-
to advance the theory of signal
processing with the focus on geo signals and seismic data,
-
to advance the field of seismic
processing by developing advanced signal processing algorithms that
serve this special type of signals with the goal of generating
industry standard techniques to cut down cost, save time, and lower
needed labor while at the same time increasing the success rate in
the exploration process,
-
and to ultimately make KFUPM the
hub for geo-signal data processing.

Short Course on Nonlinear
Optics by Prof. Stegeman, February 11 - March 7, 2012 |
|
| |
The
course will take place in the EE department, Building 59, room
2001, according to the attached schedule. The course will be
given 4 times a week for 2 1/2 hours each, from 2 - 4:30pm to
allow for maximum participation and taking advantage of this
unique opportunity by a field expert and well known researcher.
The course will start on Feb. 11 and end on March 7.
There will be a class webpage where Prof. Stegeman will post his
lectures and seminars as well as any needed details related to
this short course. The URL will be
http://faculty.kfupm.edu.sa/EE/stegeman.
Prof. Stegeman has joined the EE department at KFUPM in 2011 as
a chair professor. He is a a Fellow of the Optical Society of
America and has received the Hertzberg Medal for Achievement in
Physics of the Canadian Association of Physicists and the R.
Woods Prize of the Optical Society of America. The principal
interest of Dr. Stegeman's research group is the experimental
study of nonlinear optics in waveguide structures, especially
the properties of spatial solitons in various regions of the
electromagnetic spectrum. Of particular interest are solitons in
photonic crystals, in semiconductor optical amplifiers, in
quasi-phase-matched doubling crystals and in the discrete
systems afforded by coupled arrays of channel waveguides.
Your participation is appreciated and All Faculty and Students
are Welcome. Interested
faculty and students are recommended to check the detailed
course schedule.
