LET'S KEEP IT UP!!!!

August 12, 2008 -- The presenter will be Matt Fraser Ph.D. from the Global Institute of Sustainability at ASU.

Dr. Fraser’s research focuses on using organic speciation and receptor modeling to apportion ambient pollutants to their original source. Dr. Fraser’s research group has been involved in field monitoring programs, source characterization studies, emission inventory preparation, and analytical method and instrument development projects. The title is Understanding Urban Particle Pollution Atmospheric particles, including smoke, dust and haze, impact human health, decrease visibility and are a key uncertainty in the climate balance of the planet. Understanding the sources of particles is the first step in any strategy to reducing their concentration in an urban region such as Phoenix. Using detailed chemical analysis, we can fingerprint the original source of particles and track their emission from different sources to remote locations. The importance of these microscopic pollutants will be presented along findings of various source attribution studies.

The September 9, 2008 speaker will be Adrian Sannier.

Dr. Adrian Sannier is the University Technology Officer at Arizona State University and a Professor in the Division of Computing Studies. As University Technology Officer, he is responsible for developing and implementing a long range technology plan in support of President Crow's vision for the New American University, fulfilling ASU's goals of excellence, access and impact. Dr. Sannier is charged with the selection, integration and deployment of strategic technologies to meet the unique administrative, research and academic computing needs of a multi-campus university in one of the fastest growing regions of the United States.

The October 14, 2008 speaker will be one of our own Gary Witting. He is a patent lawyer and will be telling you how to file a patent and he knows the rules so don't worry about listening to an advertisement on how great he is.
