Highlights from Panel Discussion on “Key Issues for Future Developments in Microwave Processing”

Extract

This proved to be a very insightful discussion, thanks to an enthusiastic audience and the team of panelists listed below:

Peter Angelini, Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Raymond F. Decker, Wavemat/Paton Tek Inc.

E. Eugene Eves, III, Raytheon

Frank D. Gac, Los Alamos National Laboratory

John F. Gerling, Gerling Laboratories

Magdy F. Iskander, University of Utah

William B. Snyder, Microwave Materials Technology, Inc.

Wayne R. Tinga, University of Alberta

Although the panelists represented a mix of individuals from government, academia, and industry, only one aspect of industry was represented, namely microwave system manufacturers. For future panel discussions, it is recommended that the materials manufacturing (i.e., microwave user) sector also be represented.
