IBM Research Announces Recipient of the 2004 Josef Raviv Memorial Postdoctoral Fellowship
IBM Research is pleased to announce that Zhenhai Zhu of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA is the recipient of the 2004 Josef Raviv Memorial Postdoctoral Fellowship. Dr. Zhu's dissertation is entitled "Fast Stochastic Integral Equation Method and Its Application in Modeling Rough Surface Effects on Impedance of Interconnects and Packages". He has chosen to spend his postdoctoral year at the the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center in New York, where he’ll be investigating the topic of his choice: Modeling and simulation of three-dimensional interconnects in the presence of manufacturing uncertainty.
This year, the review committee (senior researchers from the IBM Almaden, Austin, Haifa and Watson labs) received 43 applications from around the world. The high quality of these applications made the selection process a difficult one, and all of the applicants should be congratulated for the exciting research they have done and propose to do. The committee would like to thank all the applicants and the many others who wrote letters of support.
