CAMP Annual Technical Meeting

CAMP's Annual Technical Meeting was held May 14-16, 2001 in Saratoga Springs, New York. The very successful meeting had over 90 attendees including representatives of Industry, University and New York State Economic Development Organizations.

The keynote speakers included Dr. Jack Chang (Vice President and Associate Director of Research and Development at Eastman Kodak Company) and Mr. Scott Donnelly (Senior Vice President of Corporate Research and Development at G.E.). Dr. Chang's Keynote Address was entitled "Materials Science and Imaging: The Past into the Future" and Mr. Donnelly's presentation was entitled " The Digitization of R & D." In addition, Vice Provost / CAMP Director S.V. Babu and CAMP Deputy Director Edward McNamara presented a retirement gift to Dr. Gary Bottger of Eastman Kodak (a CAMP Corporate Sponsor) for his excellent support and contributions to CAMP.
