Every year, International Microelectronics and Packaging Society (IMAPS) members are asked to select those who have done such notable work that they deserve the distinction of the Society’s awards to publicly acknowledge their accomplishments. Palomar Technologies’ Chief Technical Officer, Daniel Evans, was honored to have received the IMAPS “Fellow of the Society Award” at this year’s IMAPS Symposium in Orlando, Florida held October 26-29.
In the opinion of the Fellow of the Society Award Selection Committee, the Fellow of the Society Award honors and recognizes those who “have made significant and continuing contributions to IMAPS over the years at any level—local or national”. The nominee must have been an IMAPS member for ten consecutive years.
