Fast-hitting chip shortages have a plethora of causes, many of which could be alleviated by drastically reducing semiconductor manufacturing prices. Current manufacturing techniques entail a repeating cycle of material deposition and the etching away of excess material, which can quickly rack up cost and energy requirements. Today’s guest is looking to flip current semiconductor manufacturing processes on its head.
In today’s episode, we welcome Dr. Ahmed Busnaina, an expert in all things semiconductor. He is a long-serving professor who founded Nano OPS, Inc., a new company focusing on printed micro-and nano-electronic devices. With him, we discuss:
🔹️How he tailored his career path from academia to industry to founding Nano OPS.
🔹How he is working to improve upon current semiconductor manufacturing processes with his “bottom-up” approach.
🔹️How much smaller current semiconductors can physically get.
🔹Advice for students that are interested in a career in semiconductors or electronics, such as classes to take, habits to build, or technologies to research.
🔹And much more!

According to research, what you say to an audience isn’t nearly as important as how you say it. Studies suggest that effective presentations are 38% your voice, 55% non-verbal communication, and only 7% your content. That means that you should spend even more time preparing your delivery than you do developing awesome content.
In today’s episode, we welcome Neil Thompson. Since earning his Master’s in Bioengineering and his Master’s in Biomedical Engineering from Clemson University and Columbia University, Neil has held various roles in biomedical engineering, technical communication, and with patent law. He is the founder of Teach the Geek, an educational network centered around enhancing the technical communication skills of STEM professionals. With him, we discuss:
🔹️ What audience does Neil primarily work with (i.e., students, 1-on-1 coaching, corporate seminars, etc.)?
🔹️Ideas on coaching strategy for this particular audience and these particular skills.
🔹Tips or common issues for students and early-career professionals to look out for while trying to improve their technical communication.
🔹 And much more!
