Michigan (Ann Arbor) Conference
Posted On Saturday, July 15, 1989 at at 9:06 PM by AlvinBy a fluke of last minute luck, one of the professors (thanks Gerhard !) at the Cavendish Laboratory informed me that there was a last conference seat available at the Modulated Semiconductor Structures (MSS) conference in Ann Arbor and that the organiser there would fund for my accommodation and Cavendish would fund for my air fare !
Arrived in Detroit and was advised by the Airport Security Guards to: "Careful where ya go, in case ya get ya-self killed, ya hear ?"
Otherwise, the limousine to Ann Arbor was fine. I met up with the other conference attendees and amongst them was the Nobel Prize winner: Professor L. Esaki (of Esaki Diode fame) and it was an honour to attend his lectures during this conference. The conference dinner was superb and I made quite a few contacts from Japan and the US.
