KEYNOTE ADDRESS
"Parallel Computations of Electron-Molecule Collisions in Processing Plasmas"
B. Vincent Mckoy
California Institute of Technology
Vincent McKoy is Professor of Theoretical Chemistry at the California
Institute of Technology where he has been a member of the faculty
since 1964. He obtained his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Yale University in
1964. His research interests include theoretical and computational
methods for studies of collisions of low-energy electrons in gases. A
key feature of this effort has been the development of highly scalable
strategies and algorithms which make it possible to exploit large
parallel systems in such studies. These advances have enabled extensive
applications to gases of interest in low-temperature plasmas that are
widely used in the semiconductor industry. He is a Fellow of the
American Physical Society and is listed in Who’s Who in America and
in American Men of Science. He has been a Fellow of the Alfred P. Sloan
and Guggenheim Memorial Foundations and received the Governor-General’s
(of Canada) Medal for Academic Excellence (1960).
