Semiconductors

Student projects focused on semiconductors

Deepali Garg

Ph.D. student, Electrical and Computer Engineering

“My research explores how to make chips programmable so that we can apply metrics and concepts from software security to the hardware design.”

 

Nour Jedidi

Ph.D. student, Language Technologies Institute

“My research explores applying natural language processing techniques to enable machines to automatically identify and build a supply chain map of the firms contributing to making semiconductor chips, including suppliers into which firms and the government may currently lack visibility.”

Christophe Combemale

Ph.D. student, Engineering and Public Policy

“My research uses shop-floor level production data to quantify the implications of innovation for jobs and skills of the future. We find that the latest innovations at the technical frontier in advanced semiconductors for communications are likely to create more demand for skilled shop floor operators in the U.S.: Automation increases the cost-competitiveness of U.S. workers. Design innovation at the frontier of material science makes the U.S. the leading place to produce and empowers high school graduates to have more involvement in the innovation process itself.”
