SUMMARY:Gallium Nitride: The Next Silicon? - Nadine Collaert | SSCS December Technical Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nSilicon\, and in particular CMOS technology\, has been the workhorse of the semiconductor industry for several decades. Its combination of manufacturing maturity\, cost efficiency\, scalability\, and high integration density has made CMOS the dominant platform for a wide range of applications\, from consumer electronics to data centers. However\, silicon is not always the optimal material for delivering very high-power levels or operating at extremely high frequencies. In these domains\, III-V semiconductor materials often offer superior performance owing to their favorable electronic properties. \nAmong these materials\, gallium nitride (GaN) has attracted significant attention in recent years. Its wide bandgap\, high breakdown voltage\, and excellent electron transport characteristics make it particularly well-suited for power electronics and RF applications\, while emerging opportunities are also being explored in photonics. In this lecture\, we will provide an overview of the GaN industry and technology landscape\, with a particular focus on RF applications. We will also discuss the growing importance of GaN for next-generation computing infrastructure\, including efficient power delivery solutions for AI-driven data centers and high-performance communication systems. \n\nSpeaker: Nadine Collaert (Imec Fellow & Professor at VUB) \nDate: Monday\, December 7\, 2026 \nTime: 10:00 AM ET \nRegister for the WebEx Webinar\n\n\n \nAbout the Speaker\n\n \n\n \n\nNadine Collaert\nImec Fellow | Part-time Professor\, VUB \nNadine Collaert is an imec fellow and part-time professor at VUB (Brussels\, Belgium). She is currently leading the technology office in the connected computing sector\, focusing on identifying cutting-edge advancements in wireless\, wireline\, and optical communications\, as well as emerging computing technologies\, to drive future innovation. \nBefore that\, she was responsible for the advanced RF program\, looking at heterogeneous integration of III-V/III-N devices with advanced CMOS to tackle the challenges of next-generation mobile communication. Prior to that\, she was program director of the LOGIC Beyond Si program focused on research into novel CMOS devices and new material-enabled device and system approaches to increase functionality. \nShe has been involved in the theory\, design\, and technology of FinFET devices\, emerging memories\, transducers for biomedical applications\, and the integration and characterization of biocompatible materials. She holds a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from KU Leuven\, has authored more than 500 publications\, and holds over 15 patents in device design and process technology.

SUMMARY:The Inner Node: Meditation\, Resilience\, and Well-Being for Women in Technology w/ Dr. Vinita Deodhar - Women in Circuits Retreat | ISSCC 2027
DESCRIPTION:The Inner Node: Meditation\, Resilience\, and Well-Being for Women in Technology \n \n\nDate: February 14\, 2027 \nTime: 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM \nLocation: SOMA Room \n\n \nAbstract:\nIn today’s fast-paced and constantly connected world\, many women in technology balance demanding careers\, family responsibilities\, and personal aspirations\, often leaving little time to recharge. This interactive session explores practical techniques to cultivate resilience\, mental clarity\, and inner well-being\, helping participants navigate challenges with greater ease\, focus\, and balance. \nThis 90-minute session will include: \n\nDesktop Yoga: Simple stretches that can be done while sitting in a chair\nMind & Breath Discussion: Exploring the tendencies of the mind and the role of breath\nIntroduction to Meditation: Foundational concepts for cultivating mental clarity\nGuided Practice: Simple breathwork followed by a guided meditation\nOpen Q&A: Interactive discussion on women’s well-being\, the mind\, and meditation\n\nNo prior meditation experience is required. Everyone is welcome! \n\n \nAbout the Speaker\n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\nDr. Vinita Deodhar\nSenior Meditation Instructor\, Art of Living Foundation \nVinita Deodhar is a senior meditation instructor with the Art of Living Foundation and a dedicated meditation practitioner for more than 25 years. Over the past many years\, she has volunteered extensively\, leading hundreds of breathwork and meditation programs across the United States for community groups\, corporate leaders\, university faculty\, and students. \nProfessionally\, Vinita holds a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology and has spent more than two decades in the semiconductor industry\, leading complex\, cross-functional programs across global engineering organizations. \nDrawing from both her technical career and deep personal practice\, Vinita is passionate about helping individuals cultivate resilience\, clarity\, and well-being. She attributes her ability to successfully balance a demanding professional career\, family life\, and community service to the happiness\, inner calm\, and energy she has gained through meditation.
