Semi-Therm has announced the winners of the THERMI Award and the Harvey Rosten Award are Kenneth E. Goodson, Ph.D, and Andras Poppe, Ph.D, respectively.
The THERMI award is intended “to recognize a recipient’s history of contributions to crucial thermal issues affecting the performance of semiconductor devices and systems,” while the Harvey Rosten Award recognizes “innovation and excellence” in the fields of “thermal modeling of electronics parts and packages” and “thermal analysis of electronics equipment.”
Kenneth E. Goodson is a professor and the vice chairman of mechanical engineering at Stanford University in California. Goodson has co-authored 30 U.S. patents, 160 archival journal articles and 200 conference papers and is a Fellow with ASME and IEEE. He has received the ASME Kraus Medal and best/outstanding paper awards at SEMITHERM, ITHERM, and IEDM and has lectured at INTERPACK, ITHERM, PHONONS, SEMITHERM, and THERMINIC. He is a former associate editor with the ASME Journal of Heat Transfer and former Editor-in-Chief of Microscale & Nanoscale Thermophysical Engineering. Goodson co-founded Cooligy, which builds microfluidic cooling systems for computers.
Andras Poppe has been an associate professor with the Budapest University of Technology Department of Electron Devices since 1996 and is actively involved as a member of the JEDEC JC15, CIE TC2-63 and TC2-64 standardization committees. Poppe is also involved in various research consortia, including EU FW7 Fast2Light, NANOPACK, THERMINATOR and NANOTHERM. His fields of interest include thermal transient testing of packaged semiconductor devices, characterization of LEDs and OLEDs, electro-thermal simulation and multi-domain modeling of LEDs.
