Keynote Speaker
Prof. Akira Toriumi, IEEE Fellow, The University of Tokyo, Japan
Biography: Akira Toriumi received the B.S. degree in physics, the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in applied physics from The University of Tokyo in Japan in 1978, 1980 and 1983, respectively. Then, he joined R&D Center of Toshiba Corporation in Japan, in which he had been engaged in device physics and technology in CMOS miniaturization. He was with Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA (1988–1990) as a visiting scientist on leave from Toshiba. In May 2000, he moved to Department of Materials Engineering of The University of Tokyo. He had also served as a high-k gate stack group leader in MIRAI Project (a national project for advanced CMOS in Japan) from 2001 to 2007. He retired in March 2019, and he is now an emeritus professor in The University of Tokyo.
Through his professional carrier, his research interests have been on device physics and materials science with regard to semiconductor devices. Particularly, he has investigated gate dielectrics, functional oxides, electron transport and processing science in Si and Ge CMOS, and low-dimensional materials and devices. He has authored and co-authored more than 600 scientific journal papers and conference proceedings, and several book chapters. He received several awards such as IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium (IRPS), Best Paper Award (1997), Solid-State Device and Materials (SSDM), Best Paper Award (2000 & 2003), IEEE EDS Paul Rappaport Award (2004), SSDM Award (2014), IEEE Cledo Brunetti Award (2016) and JSAP (The Japan Society of Applied Physics) Outstanding Achievement Award (2017). He served as several international conference chairs and committees such as Executive Committee in VLSI Symposium (2008-2017), Program Chair (2005) and Organizing Chair (2018) in International SSDM, General Chair in Si-Nanoelectronics Workshop (IEEE/JSAP) (1999), Executive Committee (2004-2006) and Vice President (2012-2013) in JSAP, Vice Chair (2010-2011) and Chapter Chair (2012-2013) in IEEE EDS (Electron Device Society) Japan.
Invited Speaker
Prof. Pramoch Rangsunvigit, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand
Biography: Pramoch Rangsunvigit is a professor in chemical engineering at The Petroleum and Petrochemical College, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand. He received his B.Sc from Chulalongkorn University before his Ph.D. from Texas A&M University, USA. His research interests cover conventional separation processes like adsorption and crystallisation and hybrid separation processes. Photocatalysis is also another area that he has contributed to. In addition, he has extensively worked on gas storage technologies including hydrogen storage via adsorption and metal hydrides and natural gas storage through adsorption and gas hydrates. He was awarded with outstanding teaching and research from a number of organisations.
