Combined 17th Central Pennsylvania Symposium on Signal and Power Integrity and MASH Forum
The combined 17th Central Pennsylvania Symposium on Signal and Power Integrity and MASH Forum is targeted to the local and national connector industries. This year we have added a Mid Atlantic Semiconductor Hub (MASH) forum that deals with bringing the semiconductor industry back to the USA. MASH is funded through the CHIPS act.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn from international experts about the latest developments in signal integrity and semiconductor and have the opportunity to exchange ideas with them, as well as other professionals and business leaders.

Dr. Daniel Lopez
The Mid-Atlantic Semiconductor Hub (MASH)
The Mid-Atlantic Semiconductor Hub (MASH): a distributed network of resources and talent to reassert U.S. leadership in semiconductor manufacturing
Biography:
Daniel Lopez is the Liang Professor of Electrical Engineering at Penn State University's College of Engineering. He is also the Director of the Nanofabrication Lab at the Materials Research Institute. Before joining Penn State, Dr. Lopez worked at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, Bell Labs, and Argonne National Lab.
Dr. Lopez earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the Centro Atomico Bariloche, Argentina. He then served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY. In 1998, he became a Research Staff member at Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies in Murray Hill, NJ. There, he worked on developing, fabricating, and packaging micro and nano electro-mechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS) for optical communications, imaging, and quantum sensing. Dr. Lopez was part of the team that created the world's first all-optical, high-speed data switch (LambdaRouter) for lightwave communications. He was awarded the Bell Labs President's Gold Award, the company's highest technical award, in 2000 for his role in developing disruptive technologies that directly impacted the business.
In 2022, Dr. Lopez founded the Mid-Atlantic Semiconductor Hub (MASH), a consortium of 10 universities across six states that brings together resources, technical expertise, and workforce development programs to address the semiconductor industry's needs in the United States.
Dr. Lopez's research career spans various areas, including novel materials, micromechanics, optical microsystems, and packaging. He is focused on advancing fundamental and applied science through the interplay among mechanics, photonics, and materials.. Dr. Lopez is an author of over 170 technical publications and holds 32 granted patents.
