First Tuesday event at Westgate

WESTGATE – Indiana University is committing a minimum of $111 million over the next several years to bolster its national leadership in microelectronics and nanotechnology.

To learn more attend First Tuesday, on Tuesday, December 5 from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. at WestGate Academy in Odon.

One key initiative in this endeavor is the IU Center for Reliable and Trusted Electronics (IU-CREATE), which is driven in part by a partnership with NSWC Crane and additional support from the Indiana Economic Development Corp.

IU-CREATE’s primary focus is cultivating student talent in Indiana and the Ohio River Valley, specifically emphasizing high-reliability microelectronics technologies designed for operation in space and other extreme environments. This presentation will provide an overview of the planned research, education, and workforce development initiatives at IU, exploring collaborative opportunities to address the most pressing challenges associated with using emerging micro- and nanoelectronics technologies in critical application areas.

Attending will be guest speaking Dr. Daniel Loveless.

Dr. Daniel Loveless is an Associate Professor of Intelligent Systems Engineering at Indiana University, where they research radiation effects and reliability in electronic and photonic integrated circuits and high-performance and radiation-hardened digital, mixed-signal, and analog integrated circuit design.

Dr. Loveless was a Guerry Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) from 2014 to 2023. Before joining UTC in 2014, he was a senior engineer and research assistant professor at the Institute for Space and Defense Electronics (ISDE) at Vanderbilt University.

Dr. Loveless has published over 110 articles, is a Senior Member of IEEE, and is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science. His honors include the inaugural 2019 Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS) Radiation Effects Early Achievement Award, five best conference paper awards, and the IEEE NPSS Graduate Scholarship Award for recognition of contributions to the fields of nuclear and plasma sciences.

Join officials for an hour of snacks, drinks, and networking immediately following the presentation.

Come early and enjoy the coworking space for free before the event.
