Topic: Thermal Design, Where do you start?

Speaker: Monem Alyaser, Ph.D.
Manager, New Business Development
Applied Thermal Technologies LLC

This one-hour presentation covers many important
aspects of thermal design of electronics. Starting
with an introduction, which will include a brief
review of the trends in power dissipation encountered,
the presentation will provide an overview of the
current and future challenges related to thermal
management. Highlighting the benefits and costs of
integrating thermal with the electrical and mechanical
design, a thermal design methodology using
computer-aided-engineering will be presented. Case
studies from telecom/networking, consumer electronics
will be presented. Finally, the cooling of next
generation networking and telecom equipment will be
discussed, and a look at the future.

Speaker: Monem Alyaser, Ph.D.
Manager, New Business Development
Applied Thermal Technologies LLC

Monem provides consulting services and handles the
business development for Applied Thermal Technologies.
Since joining Applied in January 2000 he has led the
market development of QFin, a heatsink design software
package. Monem has designed cooling solutions for a
wide range of electronics, including computers, flight
simulators, routers, switches and storage networking
systems. He worked on the thermal design of many
products for companies such as Cisco, Juniper,
Brocade, Intel, Apple and Microsoft.
His multidisciplinary background and diverse
experience give him a unique ability to understand the
client?s needs, to develop customized cost-effective
cooling solutions. He also has experience with furnace
design for the semiconductor industry. In addition to
electronics cooling, Monem provides consulting
services in the optimization of limekilns for the pulp
and paper industry.

Monem earned his Ph.D. in Metals & Materials
Engineering, from The University of British Columbia
in 1998. He co-founded Combustion & Process Technology
Inc. Within CPT, he worked on the optimization of
rotary kilns for the pulp and paper industry. In 1999,
he entered the field of electronics cooling by
providing consulting services for Nokia. Monem earned
his B. S. in Engineering from Laurentian University,
Sudbury, Canada in 1990, and his Master of Applied
Science in heat and mass transfer from UBC in 1993. He
has published a number of papers in leading
metallurgical engineering journals and computational
fluid dynamics conferences. Monem also teaches
electronics cooling and heat sink design courses to
many engineers, internationally.
