SSCS Chip Chat

Dr Alice Wang is Director of Silicon Engineering at PsiKick. She's also vice chair of engineering at IEEE SSCS Women in Circuits Committee. We talk about extreme low power circuits, different work cultures in US and Asia, and efforts to recruit more women in circuits.

If you're interested in women in circuits, and they need help from men too, please visit https://sscs.ieee.org/women-in-circuits. You can also reach out to Dr Wang or...

Dr Shantanu Chakrabartty is a professor at the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St Louis.

Dr Chakrabartty's research seeks to approach fundamental limits of energy efficiency, sensing and resolution. We talk about self-powered sensors, cyborg insects, and thermodynamically-driven circuits. There's also some advice for those who are starting out on their academic careers on how best to go about it.
