Place: Broun Hall Rm. 239
Charles H. Stallings
IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Science Society Distinguished Lecturer
Biography
Stallings received a doctorate in physics from the University of Wisconsin in
1970. He joined Physics International Company and carried out research on intense
electron beams, high temperature plasmas, implosion physics, pulsed power and
radiation interaction with materials. Stallings was granted three patents and
has authored over 50 journal articles and proceedings. He attended the Stanford
University Executive Institute on Managing Technology and Innovation and the MIT/Cal
Tech Institute on Managing Innovative People. In 1998 he was appointed general
manager of Maxwell Physics International and managed 90 percent of the private
pulsed power research in the United States. He retired in February 2001.
Abstract
Pulsed Power - Electrical Engineering plus Physics and now Some Biology
Pulsed Power is a subset of Electrical Engineering where the voltages and currents
stress dielectrics and other components to and beyond their normally accepted
limits. In his talk, Stallings will give an introduction to pulsed power and then
cover six unique applications varying from material processing using high energy
particles to use of pulsed electric field in biology and medical science.
