He was awarded the IEEE Millennium Medal and won the CPMT David Feldman Outstanding Contribution Award in 2005. He is an Associate-Editor of the IEEE CPMT Transactions and has been General Chair of three CPMT-sponsored conferences, Treasurer or Technical Chair of others, and serves on several CPMT conference committees. As the CPMT Society representative on the IEEE Nanotechnology Council (NTC), he instituted a regular Nanopackaging series of articles in the IEEE Nanotechnology Magazine, established the NTC Nanopackaging technical committee, (which also acts as a program committee for annual IEEE NANO conferences,) served as the 2010-2012 NTC Awards Chair, chaired the IEEE NANO 2011 conference in Portland, serves as NTC Vice-President for Conferences (2013-2014,) and is VP-elect for Finances (2015-2016.) He also co-founded the Oregon Chapter of the IEEE Education Society in 2005 and sits on its executive committee, and was Program Chair for the 1st and 2nd IEEE Conferences on Technology for Sustainability (2013/14). His research activities are focused on electrically conductive adhesives, the electrical conduction mechanisms in discontinuous nanoparticle thin metal films, with applications to nanopackaging and single-electron transistor nanoelectronics, and on an NSF-funded project in undergraduate nanotechnology education. He has edited or co-authored five books on electronics packaging and two on nanodevices, and lectures internationally on nanopackaging and electrically conductive adhesives.

Keynote speaker:

Traian Cornel Cucu
Global Product Manager Solder Paste, Alpha, USA

Presentation:
”Advances in Automotive Electronics Soldering Technology -Low Temperature Solder Paste, the why’s and the how’s”

Traian Cucu is presently working as Global Product Manager Solder Paste at Alpha (former Cookson Electronics Assembly Materials) an is responsible for Planning, organizing and controlling all aspects of the solder paste product line from conceptual stage through product life cycles. He received his B.Sc degree from “Politehnica” University of Timisoara, , Faculty of Electrical and Power Engineering, Specialization: Industrial Power Systems and his PhD. from Politechnica University of Bucharest, Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technologies, Specialization: Electronic Technology. He was part of the technical team from Cookson Electronics that was implementing tin-lead SMT process in late 1990s during the transition from THT to SMT. Early 2000s he was involved in the development and implementation of the lead free technology for both wave and SMT processes, working for Cookson Electronics and Brady. He was working with major mobile phone OEMs in order to implement new processes that will enable a quicker transition to finer pitch designs and 3D assembly systems for the next generation devices. He was also actively involved, while working with Brady, in the process traceability in electronics with a big accent on the automotive industry. As part of the Alpha technical team he was continuing his work in the assembly process focusing on tin-lead and lead free processes for automotive, during a 3 year period starting 2007.
