Prof. Glenn H. Chapman: SFU Eng. Science
Biography
Glenn H. Chapman received his BSc(Eng. Physics) degree, from Queen's University,
Kingston, Ontario, Canada in 1972 and MSc (Eng. Physics) in 1975 for work
on superconducting power transmission lines. He took his PhD. (Physics)
degree from McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario in 1982 with a thesis
on pentenary semiconductor alloy systems. Between 1980 and 1990 he was
a research staff member of M.I.T. Lincoln Laboratory and the principal
researcher developing laser redundancy techniques for the Wafer Scale Integration
laser Restructurable VLSI project which achieved 7 working Wafer Scale
designs. After starting at SFU in 1990 he is currently a Full Professor
in the School of Engineering Science at Simon Fraser University, Burnaby,
British Columbia, Canada. His research continues there in using redundancy
technology to build Large Area / Wafer Scale Integration restructurable
silicon systems. He is also working in the Laser micromachining of sensors
and Biomedical devices, Micromachined sensors, Microfabrication. He has
developed sensors for the Canadian Space Agency, and is currently working
on Microfabrication techniques for both Space based and earth based fabrication.
He teaching courses in microfabrication, laser application in Engineering,
and embedded microprocessor systems. He is a Senior Fellow of the British
Columbia Advanced System Institute, a member of the IEEE and the IEEE Computer
Society, and chairman of the Electronics Group at SFU. In 1995 he was Program
Chairman for the IEEE International Conference on Wafer Scale Integration,
and General Chair for the 1996 Innovative Systems in Silicon conference.
He has published 27 journal papers, 63 referred conference papers, 2 book
chapters and has 20 patents applied for or pending.
