SUMMARY:Séminaire Routes to Success in Academic Research: a Personal Persp
 ective
DESCRIPTION:Séminaire du Pr John W. Bandler\, McMaster UniversityRoutes to
  Success in Academic Research: a Personal PerspectiveWhen you hear the wor
 ds MIT\, Berkeley\, Harvard\, Cambridge or Oxford\, what associations spri
 ng to mind: innovation\, privilege\, influence\, envy\, pride\, or the Nob
 el Prize winners on the faculty?All communities are interested in the succ
 ess of their local academic institutions. Concerns extend far beyond the w
 alls of the institutions: like the stature of the faculty\, the quality of
  the students\, the value of the education\, the impact of the institution
 ’s research\, and the ability of the institution to attract leading facu
 lty\, good students\, and sufficient research grants.What promotes success
 ful research? Is it available facilities\, imagination\, opportunity\, lea
 dership\, IQ\, charm\, packaging\, or good luck? How can you measure succe
 ss? Is it by the number of enrolled students\, the size of the team\, the 
 number of publications\, the volume of citations\, the size of the budget\
 , the awards received\, the number of fellowships gained in learned societ
 ies?It may seem surprising how much of one’s recognition in a field of e
 ndeavor is attributable to the subjective perception of others. So\, in ad
 dition to the specifics of advanced research in academia\, this talk inclu
 des issues of impressions and subtext that are essential to human behavior
  and discourse. Researchers must learn to navigate the minefield of ethics
 \, over-exposure\, secrets\, confidentiality agreements\, contracts\, coll
 egial envy\, and more.Beware of “experts” who claim to see no future i
 n your proposed research. And\, rather than taking that well-trodden path 
 and being instantly understood and accepted\, you should follow your pione
 ering instinct even if you find yourself initially ridiculed and rejected.
 In suggesting ways of inspiring and managing successful research\, I draw 
 on personal successes and failures in both my technical and non-technical 
 domains.John W. Bandler studied at Imperial College of Science and Technol
 ogy and received the B.Sc.(Eng.)\, Ph.D.\, and D.Sc.(Eng.) degrees from th
 e University of London\, England\, in 1963\, 1967\, and 1976\, respectivel
 y.He joined McMaster University\, Canada\, in 1969. He is now a Professor 
 Emeritus. He was President of Optimization Systems Associates Inc. (OSA)\,
  which he founded in 1983\, until 1997\, when OSA was acquired by Hewlett-
 Packard Company.OSA implemented a first-generation yield-driven microwave 
 CAD capability for Raytheon in 1985 and subsequently engineered and market
 ed several state-of-the-art software products.Dr. Bandler is President of 
 Bandler Corporation\, which he founded in 1997.He has published more than 
 470 technical papers\, including contributions to books.He became a Fellow
  of the IEEE in 1978 (a Life Fellow since 2006). He is a Fellow of several
  other societies\, including the Canadian Academy of Engineering and the R
 oyal Society of Canada (since 1987).He received the Automatic Radio Freque
 ncy Techniques Group (ARFTG) Automated Measurements Career Award in 1994. 
 In 2004 he received the IEEE MTT-S Microwave Application Award “For appl
 ication of optimization technology\, design with tolerances and yield-driv
 en design to microwave devices\, circuits and systems.”John introduced s
 pace mapping in 1994. From automotive crashworthiness to magnetic systems\
 , his concept has been adopted by design portfolios across the entire spec
 trum of engineering\, making possible the high-fidelity design of devices 
 and systems at a cost of a few high-fidelity simulations. Space mapping ex
 plains the mysterious “feel” that engineers have historically claimed 
 as special to their expertise.In 2012 he received the IEEE Canada A.G.L. M
 cNaughton Gold Medal\, which honors “outstanding Canadian engineers reco
 gnized for their important contributions to the engineering profession.”
  Also in 2012\, a special session at the IEEE MTT-S International Microwav
 e Symposium paid tribute to his forty-five years of pioneering contributio
 ns.In 2012\, at the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium\, John de
 livered a rump session on “Human aspects of communication and persuasion
 : first impressions and subtext.” A video is available on the internet t
 hrough IEEE.tv.Active in artistic endeavors\, John has written a novel\, a
  screenplay\, and several stage plays\, three of which have been performed
 \, one of which he directed himself in 2012.
