Atrium Display Pumpkin Carving Party Seminar Sunrise Award Atrium Display New: Down Equipment Summary on the Upper Atrium Display In an effort to communicate better with the user community on the status of down equipment, we're starting an activity that will put more information on the upper atrium big-screen display. We will put the down equipment name, why it is down, the estimated time for repair, and the responsible staff engineer. We believe this will provide users with valuable information regarding the off-line equipment and a way to better plan around the time it is anticipated to be returned to service. After we begin this communication next week we would certainly welcome feedback on the usefulness of this approach, and we would like to hear any suggestions on how to improve the information. Ron Pumpkin Carving Party Please join us for a pumpkin carving party in the atrium at 3:30 pm on Friday, October 24th. A limited number of pumpkins will be purchased and distributed on a first come first serve basis. We have some decorating supplies but please feel free to bring your own. The pumpkins will be on displayed for 1 week. Please stop by the display and vote monetarily for your favorite. The money will be used for fun activities held in Birck.

Chang-Hasnain University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720 Thursday, October 23, 2014 10:00AM in Birck 1001 Abstract: I will discuss recent advances on nanophotonic devices based on III-V compound directly grown on silicon at CMOS-compatible temperatures. With the advances in nano-scale fabrication technologies, there is great interest to “tailor” materials’ physical properties when their sizes are made small enough for manipulation of absorption, emission, transmission, refraction, transport, etc. in innovative ways that could have profound implications for many applications. In addition, monolithic integration of devices based upon
