Moreover, Konstantinos has been working on the design and development of computer-based tools that facilitate energy and environmental impact considerations for building design and operation decision-making. Konstantinos participates in a wide range of academic and professional activities related to computer-aided design, daylighting, electric lighting, energy and environmental impact and is author/co-author of over 70 publications related to research and development in these areas. Konstantinos is a member of several committees addressing lighting and daylighting issues. His latest work in daylight harvesting controls was recognized by the Illuminating Engineering Society as a unique and significant advancement to the art and science of lighting. - Curriculum Vitae | | | | | | | Charles E. Hunt received the B.S.E.E. and M.S.E.E. degree from the University of Utah and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University. From 1979 to 1983 he served as Staff Engineer to the VLSI Design Research Group at the Computer Science Department of the University of Utah. Since 1986, he has been at the University of California, Davis, where he is presently Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, with appointments in Materials Science and Engineering and in the California Lighting Technology Center (CLTC). Professor Hunt teaches IC fabrication technology, nanofabrication and semiconductor device physics. His research centers on electronic and luminescent materials, electron devices, and fabrication technologies for nanostructures. His major research emphasis is in the areas of field-emission vacuum microelectronics, cathodoluminescent phosphor technology, semiconductor wafer bonding, CVD epitaxy of column-IV semiconductors, and silicon on insulator (SOI) materials and devices. - Professor Charles E.
