Affiliates Program




The ISDE Affiliates Program serves to network students, faculty, commercial, and Government organizations in the pursuit of characterization of radiation effects and mitigation techniques in microelectronics for use in terrestrial and space-based applications. When you join the Affiliates Program you are assigned a liaison to assist you with the benefits of the program. The liaison facilitates technical interaction, formal research relationships, specialized short courses, and coordinates communication. The liaison also facilitates coordination of resource exchanges, internships, and graduate applications. Members and Sponsors will be provided with profiles of the graduating students of the Radiation Effects and Reliability (RER) Group. Personal interviews with the candidates can be scheduled to coincide with the Annual Workshop. ISDE will host an Annual Workshop in Nashville, Tennessee. Affiliate members may send up to four company representatives to attend the seminar on the latest in effects of radiation in electronics. *The cost to join the ISDE Affiliates Program is $25,000 per year. Contact Barry Templeton at (615) 322-3833 or email at barry.templeton@vanderbilt.edu.* A semi-annual newsletter will be provided to each Named Participant for your use and distribution. The newsletter discusses upcoming activities and provides new information regarding radiation effects in electronics.
