By the way\, one coul d argue that IEEE also has a 3rd leg into humanitarian activities.\n\nThes e S/C span a great swathe from hardware to software\, including electronic devices\, solar/wind energy production\, power transmission\, control the ory\, image compression\, signal processing\, and computer architecture. O ne could say this moves from applied physics to applied math.\n\nHowever\, this talk drills down to focus mostly on one of these societies\, the Ele ctron Device Society (EDS)\, where the field of semiconductor materials an d devices germinates and thrives.\n\nSo\, with the USA's Chips and Science Act to onshore semiconductor chip manufacturing\, what does this mean to you and your communities? First\, the “Chips” portion supports semicon ductor companies to build or expand domestic chip production. The “Scien ce” portion aims to perform workforce development to populate those fact ories.\n\nSitting in Central Ohio\, the new Intel Ohio site is being devel oped just 27 miles from the ECE Department. 3000 new jobs with 6-figure sa laries are envisioned\, not including co-located industry support.\n\nWher e will this new workforce come from and what do you need to do to prepare for your future? This talk aims to take a critical look at the opportuniti es before you in the semiconductor industry.\n\nWith time permitting and a udience interest\, some discussion in humanitarian roles IEEE plays will a lso be discussed.\n\nDr. Paul R. Berger is a Professor in Electrical & Com puter Engineering at Ohio State University and Physics (by Courtesy). He i s also a Distinguished Visiting Professor at Tampere University in Finland . He received the B.S.E. in engineering physics\, and the M.S.E. and Ph.D. (1990) in electrical engineering\, respectively\, all from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Currently\, Dr. Berger is actively working on qu antum tunneling devices\, printable semiconductor devices & circuits for I oT\, bioelectronics\, novel devices\, novel semiconductors and applied phy sics.\n\nFormerly\, he worked at Bell Laboratories\, Murray Hill\, NJ (199 0-’92) and taught at the University of Delaware in Electrical and Comput er Engineering (1992-2000). In 1999\, Prof. Berger took a sabbatical leave while working first at the Max-Planck Institute for Polymer Research\, Ma inz\, Germany and then moved on to Cambridge Display Technology\, Ltd.\, C ambridge\, United Kingdom. In 2008\, Prof. Berger spent an extended sabbat ical leave at IMEC (Interuniversity Microelectronics Center) in Leuven\, B elgium while appointed as a Visiting Professor in the Department of Metall urgy and Materials Engineering\, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven\, Belgium. Prof. Berger was also a Finnish Distinguished Professor (FiDiPro) at Tamp ere University of Technology (2014-2019)\, and he continues as a Fulbright -Nokia Distinguished Chair in Information and Communications Technologies. \n\nHe has authored over 240 referred publications and presentations with another ~100 plenary\, keynote\, invited talks\, 5 book sections and been issued 25 patents with 3 more pending from 60+ disclosures with a Google S cholar H-index of 35. Some notable recognitions for Dr. Berger were an NSF CAREER Award (1996)\, a DARPA ULTRA Sustained Excellence Award (1998)\, L umley Research Awards (2006\, 2011)\, a Faculty Diversity Excellence Award (2009) and Outstanding Engineering Educator for State of Ohio (2014). He has been on the Program and Advisory Committees of numerous conferences\, including the IEDM\, DRC\, ISDRS\, EDTM and IFETC meetings. He will be hos ting the IFETC in ’21 as General Chair. He currently is the Chair of the Columbus IEEE EDS/Photonics Chapter and Faculty Advisor to Ohio State’s IEEE Student Chapter. In addition\, he is an elected member-at-large to t he IEEE EDS Board of Governors (19’-21’)\, where he is also Vice Prese nt of Strategic Directions (20’-21’) and a member of the EDS Finance C ommittee.\n\nHe is an IEEE EDS Fellow (2011) and Distinguished Lecturer (s ince 2011)\, as well as a Senior member of the Optical Society of America. He has received $9.9M in USA funding as lead PI\, with an additional $26M as Co-PI in USA and €8.8M in funding through his Finnish partnerships. Altogether\, he has received ~$47.5M in research funding.\n\nVirtual: http s://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/502581 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/502581 ORGANIZER:amritesh557@ieee.org SEQUENCE:21 SUMMARY:IEEE Careers: Semiconductors URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/502581 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body"><span class="a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-cl ig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none" ><img src="https://events.vtools.ieee.org/vtools_ui/media/display/fa1e3e8f -6149-4300-8d6a-2aa65df50a0f" alt="" width="1080" height="1080"></span></p >\n<p class="cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body"><span cla ss="a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-o ff text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none">Let us rejoice in the com bined IEEE worldwide activities of 39 technical societies and 8 interdisci plinary councils on one side of the IEEE coin\, balanced with local sectio ns and student chapters\, bringing a physical presence of IEEE to local co mmunities.
