David Roulston, a retired Waterloo electrical engineering professor and an internationally recognized researcher in bipolar semiconductor devices and integrated circuits, will share his experiences at a public lecture on October 21 from 3 to 5 p.m. in Engineering 5, Room 2004. His lecture, entitled Reflections of an academic engineer – a lifetime of University of Waterloo and international experiences, is one of several events planned to celebrate Roulston whose contributions to electrical engineering will be recognized with an honorary doctor of engineering degree at fall convocation on October 22.
Roulston developed the BIPOLE fast computer program for numerical simulation of semiconductor bipolar devices, which now is used by industry and universities worldwide. He has published more than 100 technical papers and holds six patents. [David Roulston biography and celebration events]
