Rensselaer in Brief
Provost honored
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers has bestowed its 2001 Heat Transfer Memorial Award to Provost G.P. "Bud" Peterson.

Peterson was recognized by ASME for his contributions to phase-change heat transfer and pioneering technological investigations of microscale heat pipes.

The award will be presented to Peterson during the 2001 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition, which is scheduled for November 11-16 in New York City.

Appointment made
Badri Roysam was recently appointed the principal investigator of the Center for Subsurface Sensing and Imaging Systems.

He is taking over for James Modestino, professor of electronic, computer, and systems engineering, who is planning to leave Rensselaer at the end of the semester to join the faculty of the University of Miami as a professor and chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

As the principal investigator of the center, Roysam will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of RPI’s division of the research center and the technical direction of research studies.

Subsurface imaging is used by scientists to identify processes happening in regions that are not directly and easily accessible such as beneath the Earth’s surface, under a person’s skin, and below the surface of the oceans.

Presentation planned
RPI will be holding an information session for the Rensselaer Nanotechnology Center on Thursday from 3-4 pm in CII 4050.

At the session, Richard Siegel, director of the center, plans to present the center’s structure, upcoming projects, and plans. A question and answer period will immediately follow the presentation.

Liberties forum held
A civil liberties forum will be held next Wednesday in Greene 204. A panel of five, possibly six, experts will lead the discussion. The forum will be sponsored by the 9-11 Open Response Committee.
