Inside a massive, humming machine in the basement of Thornton Hall at the University of Virginia, John C. Bean is coating semiconductors with layers of silicon and germanium that are as thin as a single atom. “I’m spray painting with atoms,” said Bean, an electrical and computer engineering professor whose research aims to shrink transistors in an attempt to design a better computer chip.

The Clinical Performance Laboratory, directed by Dr. Jeffrey Young, occupies 550 sq. ft. on the third floor of the MR4 medical research building, adjacent to the University Hospital. The lab is designed for single- and multiple-subject clinical simulations and training sessions. It contains equipment for digital audio and video recording, and high performance audio playback. The lab is supported by a full-time lab assistant, who conducts the simulations, oversees recording, and performs transcriptions and analysis. The purchase of a computer controlled mannequin simulator is being considered for 2006. Since the lab opened, the lab has been used for six simulation studies, yielding four abstracts and several presentations.
