His responsibility as Program Director will be to create the thematic focus of the conference and to direct the selection of the Conference's invited speakers. Additionally, Prof. Mansuripur will give a keynote presentation on the future of optical storage at the event. The MEDIA-TECH Association's goal in organizing its annual conferences is to provide an open forum for communication and technical information for the removable media In computer storage, removable media refers to storage media which can be removed from its reader device, conferring portability on the data it carries. A removable drive is a reader device for such media. manufacturing industry. "It is an honor for us to have a renowned expert in the field serve as our new Program Director", says Bryan Ekus, Managing Director of the MEDIA-TECH Association. "Under Prof. Mansuripur's direction the MEDIA-TECH Conference will certainly continue to educate the marketplace and will provide new ideas "New Ideas" is the debut single by Scottish New Wave/Indie Rock act The Dykeenies. It was first released as a Double A-side with "Will It Happen Tonight?" on July 17, 2006. The band also recorded a video for the track. for further study in the field of storage technology." Masud Mansuripur, a Fellow of the Optical Society of America The Optical Society of America (OSA) is a scientific society dedicated to advancing the study of light—optics and photonics—in theory and application, by means of worldwide research, scientific publishing, conferences and exhibitions, partnership with industry, and the , has published over 200 papers in peer-reviewed journals and presented numerous invited talks at international conferences, universities, and major industrial laboratories. His research interests include magnetic, optical, and molecular data storage, near-field optics Near-field optics is that branch of optics that considers configurations that depend on the passage of light to, from, through, or near a delement with subwavelength features and the coupling of that light to a second element located a subwavelength distance from the first. , and problems associated with radiation pressure.
