Dr. Saujan Sivaram, a recent graduate of the Filler Lab, joins the podcast to talk about semiconductor nanowires. We chat about how these rod-like materials are made, the idea of “functional encoding,” and the challenges that lie ahead. We finish with a discussion of the companies trying (really really hard) to translate nanowires into commercial products. Come for the nano, stay to learn how to pronounce Saujan’s name.
