A Century of Quantum Mechanics

Lecture presented by: Professor David Gross
Date: April 09, 2013
Location: College of Engineering, Pune
Quantum Mechanics is approximately one hundred years old and has proven to be the most successful theoretical framework in the history of physics.

Spintronics: A New Frontier for Computing and Communications

Lecture presented by: Professor Albert Fert
Date: March 27, 2013
Location: VŠB–Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic

Spin Electronics - or Spintronics – is a new field of research which exploits the influence of the orientation of the electron spin* on the electrical conduction in magnetic materials. It is mainly known for the “giant magnetoresistance” (GMR) of the magnetic multilayers, a phenomenon that is used to read the hard disc of our computer and has led to a large increase of the capacity of the discs.

 
 
The World's Greatest Minds
Through the pioneers of science to industry leaders, the Honeywell Initiative for Science and Engineering (HISE) gives students direct access to some of the world’s greatest minds. Our guest speakers and lecturers are invested in seeing the next generation realize its dreams.
  • Quick Facts about HISE
    • Originally launched in 2006 as the Honeywell-Nobel Initiative, the program was updated and renamed Honeywell Initiative for Science and Engineering (HISE) in 2011.
    • The program’s goal is to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers by giving them an opportunity to learn from Nobel laureates and Honeywell’s top engineers at universities around the world.
    • HISE is delivered to world-renowned universities in:
      • China
      • Eastern Europe
      • India
      • Latin America
    • Since 2006:
      • 22 Nobel laureates have participated
      • Indian universities have hosted Honeywell events 10 times
    • HISE gives students access to:
      • Nobel Prize-winning laureates in chemistry and physics using on-campus lectures, colloquia, career panel discussions and informal interactions
      • Honeywell’s top technologists, engineers and recruiters
      • Traveling Technology Exhibit, featuring Honeywell products and initiatives
