Aicha Elshabini is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. She obtained a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering at Cairo University, 1973, in both Electronics and Communications areas (five years program), a Master in Electrical Engineering at University of Toledo, 1975, in Microelectronics, and a Ph.D. Degree in Electrical Engineering at the University of Colorado, 1978 in Semiconductor Devices and Microelectronics. She served at Virginia Tech Institution for the period 79-99, assuming the position of Director of the Microelectronics Laboratories at this Institution. She has also served at the capacity of Chair for the Electronics/Circuits Area at the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (for twelve years). During her career, she has worked on the board of many Industrial Companies, and volunteered work with United Nations. Currently, she is serving the position of Professor and Department Head for the Electrical Engineering Department at University of Arkansas (since July 1, 1999), and Interim Department Head for Computer Science & Computer Engineering Department (since July 1, 2000). She has been serving as the faculty advisor for IMAPS student society at both institutions since 1980 to present time. Elshabini is a Fellow member of IEEE/CPMT Society (1993) Citation for ‘Contribution to The Hybrid Microelectronics Education and to Hybrid Microelectronics to Microwave Applications’, a Fellow member of IMAPS Society (1993), The International Microelectronics and Packaging Society, Citation for ‘Continuous Contribution to Microelectronics and Microelectronics Industries for numerous years’. Dr. Elshabini was awarded the 1996 John A. Wagnon Technical Achievements Award from IMAPS. She has served as the Editor of the IMAPS International Journal of Microcircuits & Electronic Packaging for 10 years.

Matt Kelley earned a Bachelor's of Science in Chemical Engineering in December 2000 from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. While working on his Master's degree, Kelley attended the Tokyo Institute of Technology in
Tokyo, Japan for a year, researching silicon nano-wires. He received his Master's of Science in Microelectronics-Photonics in December 2004 for the modeling of a wafer-level chip-scale package for RF-MEMS devices. Kelley is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in the area of thermal management for stacked
ICs. He is the secretary of both IEEE CPMT and IMAPS and a member of AIChE and IEEE.
