Automation and the Future of IC Design for Test

December 2, 2022

What do IC design for test, the Tessent multi-die software solution and the best semiconductor material of all time have in common? This week’s podcast of course! My guest Vidya Neerkundar (Siemens) and I discuss trends in the IC industry today, the unique testing challenges for today’s cutting edge integrated circuits and why automation for 2D and 3D IC design-for-test is the way of the future. Also this week, I investigate a new semiconductor material that is being called the best of all time.

Fish Fry 500: The Best of Photonics (Now on Youtube!)

by Amelia Dalton

November 23, 2022

I have been fascinated by the manipulation of light since I was a kid. In another Fish Fry podcast playlist on Youtube, I investigate a variety of innovations in photonics. I chat with Dr. Eyal Cohen (Co-founder and CEO of Cognifiber) about Cognifiber’s glass-based chips, proprietary fibers, and embedded waveguides, and why the advancement of this kind of technology could revolutionize the world of edge computing. I also investigate a new ultra-compact integrated photonic device developed by University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering that could pave the way for a new class of integrated photonic … Read More → "Fish Fry 500: The Best of Photonics (Now on Youtube!)"

A topic that is near and dear to my heart takes center stage in this week’s podcast: sustainability. Iain Galloway (NXP) and Richard Fix (Bosch Sensortec) join me to discuss how you can help solve real-world societal challenges with the NXP HoverGames. We also discuss the variety of components and technologies provided to contestants of this unique design contest and why sustainable food ecosystems is the theme of this year’s HoverGames. Also this week, keeping with our sustainability theme, I how AI is helping save Norway’s endangered Atlantic salmon.

Operation Data Capture: Solving the Challenges of Battlefield Big Data and Mission Critical AI

by Amelia Dalton

October 21, 2022

In this week’s podcast, I investigate edge-based data capture and AI computing in military programs with David Freeman (Mercury) and Randy Hayes (VAST Data Federal). We discuss the challenges involved with big data, mission critical AI and machine learning applications in rugged environments and how a new data center-class, all-flash network-attached storage system can help solve these issues. Also this week, I check out a new autonomous off-road combat vehicle developed by DARPA that can drive as fast as a human driver and navigate extremely rugged terrain.

Mission AI – Ethics, Sentience and the Future of Artificial Intelligence

by Amelia Dalton

October 13, 2022

Is AI the new electricity? What is the role of AI in disinformation and misinformation? How do we survive and thrive through the AI Revolution? In this week’s podcast, I investigate all of this and more with author, founder of the Next Wave Institute and AI expert Peter Scott. Peter and I also examine Google’s LaMDA research, the motivation to write his book Artificial Intelligence and You” and why Peter believes that AI is like the parable of the blind men and the elephant.
