Location:  Auditorium          

Speaker:   Robert Reed (Vanderbilt University)

Title:     Radiation Effects in Commercial Electronics

Abstract: Professor Reed will discuss the implications of using commercial electronics in
harsh radiation environments. He will focus his talk on space radiation effects, but
will include some discussion of terrestrial environments. He will provide an
overview of the basic mechanisms that produce radiation-induced failures and discuss
testing approaches used to assess the impact of radiation on circuit performance. He
will also provide an overview of modeling approaches used to predict on-orbit
failure rates.
