At IMAPS Symposium 2024, the annual IMAPS Society Awards were presented. These awards recognize IMAPS members who stand out for their efforts. They are peer-nominated awards and selected by a panel of previous winners, so it’s very special to receive one, as it means many members have noticed their efforts. 

In this episode, Françoise sits down with three of the award winners to talk about their IMAPS experience, at different stages of their careers.

Emma P Pawliczak was awarded the Steve Adamson Student Award. She is currently getting her Ph.D. at Binghampton University. 

Brandon Hamilton won the Emerging Leader Award, is a program manager at BAE Systems in Cedar Rapids Iowa

Dr. Phil Garrou won the Lifetime Achievement Award. He is an Advanced Packaging subject matter expert for DARPA and the DoD through his consulting company Microelectronic Consultants of NC (MCNC).  

• You’ll learn about the history of IMAPS and its origins from Phil
• You’ll learn how Emma benefits from student opportunities at IMAPS
• You’ll learn about how IMAPS helped Brandon make connections in the industry
• All three talk about mentorship opportunities and how IMAPS provides a supportive community throughout a microelectronics career.
