CHIIPs with Joe Stockunas, President SEMI Americas on October’s SEMICON West, tariffs and government shutdowns

In this episode, Caroline Hayes talks to Rasadhi (Ras) Attale, an ASIC Verification engineer at Tessent Embedded Analytics, about her career path, adapting to the UK as an immigrant from Sri Lanka, designing chips to minimise cyberattacks and her involvement with Women in Techworks to support women across the electronics industry.

In this episode of Chiips, GlobalFoundries’ Ed Kaste considers how AI is driving the next phase of growth for the semiconductor industry, particularly at the edge and also explains the design challenges around efficiency and integration. 

In this episode, Caroline talks to Dr Kelly Scanlon, lead sustainability strategist at the Global Electronics Association - the new name for the IPC - and her work. They discuss the Evolve project, circularity and industry collaboration to deliver sustainable manufacturing around the world.

In this latest episode, Caroline asks Tim Phillips, co-founder of Empower Semiconductor about his startup experience and the role of power efficient processes for managing AI now and in the future.

In this episode, Caroline talks to Ben White, CEO and co-founder of Phlux Technology and learns how the avalanche photodiodes will help not just lidar but also quantum-secure communications, free space optical links and satellite-based data infrastructure. She also learns why Sheffield is the perfect place* for tech startup (*other cities are available!)

In this insightful episode, Sree Ganesan, VP of product at d-Matrix shares some memories about a supportive childhood in India to building next-gen AI accelerators at Silicon Valley startups. As well as exploring the company’s proprietary architecture to maximise energy efficiency, Caroline asks Sree about the exciting times of AI startups and her hopes for how AI can be constructively used.

In this episode of CHIIPS, Caroline Hayes talks about neural computation, and AI at the edge with EdgeCortix’s Dr Sakya Dasgupta, a tech entrepreneur who is championing bridging the power-efficient neural processing with hardware-software co-design. He talks about DNA IP and Sakura processors for robotics, defence systems, and AI-powered automation and the company’s collaborative projects with NASA and the US Defense Innovation Unit and Japan’s semiconductor investment.

Sumeet tells Caroline about the origins of this neuromorphic processing company which spun out of Delf University of Technology and the work it is doing with brain inspired processing and how it is used in sensors for today’s and future smart devices.

In this episode, you can hear Helen’s plans for this year’s DAC (they involve heterogeneous computing and AI with collaborative research technology, early careers and mentorship). She also tells Caroline about advances in neuromorphic computing and how close we are to a brain implant to control pain and read emotions.
