A visit from Tioga Hills Elementary School
Yet again, another fun-filled day with our young friends from Tioga Hills Elementary School. On Monday, April 29, Research Scientists Dr. Jung, Dr. Sharma, and Dr. Proper, from the Analytical and Diagnostic Laboratory (ADL), met with fourth-graders to give a tour of the lab. The students were able to learn about scientist works and the kinds of equipment used, along with experimenting with liquid nitrogen in a safe yet fun environment.
A visit from Vestal Hills Elementary School
On Friday, March 29, the Analytical and Diagnostic Laboratory (ADL), a fellow member of our family of research centers, provided a lab tour for our special visitors from Vestal Hills Elementary School.
The tour provided an opportunity for fourth grade students to see firsthand the works of a scientist and the equipment they use.
Scientist Jenny Proper, showed what it would be like to see specimens and pollen samples in high resolution under an electron microscope, while Senior Scientist Anju Sharma, engaged the students in interactive experiments with liquid nitrogen, by freezing flowers and cheese puffs, to highlight its properties and portray the effects, in a fun manner.
The lab tour allowed for students to walk away with an educational experience beyond the classroom, taking away with them the values and possibilities offered in the field of science.

SB Park To Receive Excellence in Mechanics Award
On August 30, 2018, Professor SB Park from the Mechanical Engineering Department, is to receive the Excellence in Mechanics Award, presented by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers' Electronics and Photonic Packaging Division.
This award is in recognition of outstanding achievement in engineering, presented only once to an individual who has demonstrated excellence in the engineering and science of structural mechanics of electronic systems. However, if you ask Park, he will humbly say, "I did not do much other than performing as usual."
Park is the director of the Integrated Electronics Engineering Center (IEEC) and the Optomechanics and Physical Reliability Laboratory at Binghamton University.
He began his academic career at Binghamton University in 2002, and his expertise in micro/nano mechanics and optomechanics contributes to the center in conducting on-going and prospective projects.
Park first began his professional career at IBM Microelectronics Division where he conducted numerous analyses to put products out on time. Later, he was engaged in the reliability engineering responsible for the reliability of flip-chip technology and high-performance packaging.
Park will receive this award at the 2018 International Technical Conference and Exhibition on Packaging and Integration of Electronic and Photonic Microsystems (InterPACK) in San Francisco.

Debbie Dittrich shares her experience working at IEEC
Debbie Dittrich is a Research Support Specialist who has been a staff member at the IEEC for fifteen years. Dittrich specializes in teardown analysis of electronics for various companies, failure analysis of circuit package manufacturing problems, and provides cross-sections, digital images and measurements of components in the products she receives.
Her skills and line of work are an impressive list which extends to work related with x-ray and SEM.
Prior to joining the IEEC, Dittrich was a member of the IBM Endicott Microelectronics Division and IBM Owego Circuit Packaging Division for seventeen years. Her most recent work has been evaluating the iPhone X and the Samsung Galaxy S9 (courtesy of Prismark Partners) using x-ray imaging and cross-sectioning techniques.
The measurements she takes can vary depending on the product and the elements of interest in the electronic device. Once the sample has been grounded to the appropriate plane, it must be highly polished to ensure the clearest surface for measurements. A Nikon camera is used to take images of the cross-section which are then analyzed for measurements. This requires a high degree of attention to detail. Debbie has also done work with watches, other Apple products, and speakers from phones.
Please contact Debbie at dittrich@binghamton.edu if you would like to know more about her work.
