q Fall 2000 - Dr. Guo taught EE 397E (Introduction to Solid State Electronic Devices) (EE 397E). EE 397E is offered to EE students each fall semester as an alternate to ESci 314 and is specially geared towards EE students who may be interested in semiconductor device fabrications.

q Dr. Guo co-organized a symposium on "Materials for Field Agile Microwave Electronics and Next Generation Wireless Telecommunication" in 102nd ACerS Annual Meeting and Exposition, St. Louis Missouri, April 30-May 3, 2000.

q Dr. Guo served as Chair for the Committee on Awards and Scholarships, Electronics Division, AcerS. The committee seeks your nomination for the Edward C. Henry Best Paper Award. The nomination deadline for the award is March 15th.

q Spring 2000 - Dr. Guo offered a new graduate level course (MATSC 598A) "Nonlinear Optical Materials" through the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. This course was designed for graduate students interested in nonlinear optical materials in the areas of materials science and other interdisciplinary areas, with emphasis on nonlinear polarization processes and wave matter interactions. This course is to be offered in spring semester.

q To all the grads who took MATSC 598A spring 2000 – Thank you for your hard work and helpful input.

q Fall 1999 XEROX Seminar (and the Frontier Seminar) series were run successfully - students' feedback was extremely positive. Thanks to all the speakers and hope to keep the series going strong next fall.

q Fall 1999 MATL590-001 Students: Thank you for your feedback.

q Fall 1999 Dr. Guo taught E E 419 (Solid State Devices) jointly with Dr. T. Mayer. This course emphasizes fundamental physics and operation principles of semiconductor devices. EE 419 is offered each fall semester.
