He co-founded the IEEE International Symposium on Hardware-Oriented Security and Trust. Robert Chivas received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Boston University in 2007. He is a research scientist at Varioscale, Inc. Since 2012 he has helped pioneer the true five-axis adaptive CNC mill for grinding and polishing ICs. Dr. Chivas also has broad experience in the fields of semiconduc- tor materials, photonics, optics, and fiber optics. He has published more than eleven papers, and his work on synthesizing nanoscale scintillating particles for high-definition radiation sensing was patented in September 2011. Michael DiBattista is the Vice President of Engineering at Varioscale, Inc. He has worked in the semiconductor industry for 18 years and is currently focused on large-scale deprocessing of semiconductor devices and high-speed imaging. Dr. DiBattista has more than 20 publications in the semiconductor, microscopy, and chemical sensor fields, and he holds 10 issued patents. He received Ph.D., M.S.E., and B.S.E. degrees in chemical engineering from the University of Michigan. BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LABORATORY URL: bnl.gov/world Located on Long Island, New York, Brookhaven National Laboratory is a multipurpose research institu- tion funded primarily by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science. It is a multipurpose lab that serves to build alternative sustainable energy for tomorrow. Almost 3000 scientists, engineers, and support staff are joined each year by more than 4000 visiting researchers from around the world. The lab offers cutting-edge, large- scale facilities for studies in physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, applied science, and a wide range of advanced technologies. FERMI NATIONAL ACCELERATOR LABORATORY URL: fnal.gov Since 1967, Fermilab has been the United States’ premier physics laboratory. Located in Batavia, Illinois, Fermilab collaborates with more than 20 countries on physics experiments based in the United States and elsewhere. Online versions of several brochures tell about the laboratory, its work, and its place in the global scientific community. LAWRENCE BERKELEY NATIONAL LABORATORY URL: lbl.gov Ernest Orlando Lawrence founded this lab, the oldest of the national laboratories, in 1931. Lawrence invented the cyclotron, which led to a golden age of particle physics and revolutionary discoveries about the nature of the universe. Known as a mecca of particle physics, Berkeley Lab long ago broadened its focus. Today, it is a multiprogram lab where research in advanced materi- als, life sciences, energy efficiency, detectors, and accel- erators serves America’s needs in technology and the environment. Berkeley Lab is a member of the national laboratory system supported by the U.S. Department of Energy through its Office of Science. It is managed by the University of California and is charged with conducting unclassified research across a wide range of scientific disciplines. INTERNET RESOURCES FOR ENGINEERING Rosalinda M.
