ESREF 2015 Tutorials

Tutorial chairs : Peter JACOB (Peter.Jacob@empa.ch), EMPA (Switzerland), Giovanni BUSATTO (busatto@unicas.it), University of Cassino (Italy)

Within the frame of ESREF 2015, we offer a series of attractive tutorials on important issues of electronics. Since avionic and aeronautic applications are in focus of this year’s conference, related tutorials deal with reliability and power electronics as well as PCB- and system-related analysis and anamnesis approaches towards root cause finding. Take the opportunity looking beyond the scope of device-related failure analysis by learning from experienced tutorialists from industry and research.

In order to allow tutorial access independent from competing parallel sessions, the tutorials are embedded as plenary sessions within the regular program. We look forward to welcoming you there.
