Munushian Lecture: Charles Townes

Munushian Lecture

The late Jack Munushian was a long-time USC professor of electrical engineering and the right-hand man of Zohrab Kaprielian, a storied engineering dean and provost at USC.

Munushian was an innovative distance education pioneer who, utilizing television, began the program that eventually became the Viterbi Schools Distance Education Network. Many of his contributions are still evident in both the Viterbi School and the USC Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical Engineering today.

The Viterbi School marked the opening of its second century by establishing endowed keynote lectures in all its academic departments. Each of the school's academic departments are holding an annual keynote lecture, which is named after an individual who significantly influenced the department and the discipline at USC. The lectures are covering a broad range of engineering topics and are drawing eminent scholars to the Viterbi community
