99: The State of MSE: The CHIPS and Science Act (ft. Dr. Ming Zhang)

🚨Are you an MSE interested in landing a semiconductor-based job? Do you want to hear how the field may develop over the next five years? Are you curious about the steps that the United States is taking to increase domestic semiconductor manufacturing capabilities?

🚨This new episode type, with the title “The State of MSE,” is centered around topical, present-day events that have large implications for materials science & engineering.

🚨In this episode, we welcome Dr. Ming Zhang, an expert electrical engineer with nearly 20 years of experience in the semiconductor industry. Ming was co-founder and CEO of zGlue, Inc., a startup pioneer in chiplets. He also held various engineering and strategy roles at Synopsys, Samsung Foundry, and Intel.

🚨Together, we explore the definition, scope, and impact of the CHIPS and Science Act, as well as the career opportunities it brings to MSE students. Specifically, we discuss:

🔹️What the CHIPS act entails for semiconductors made in the United States.
🔹The new actions the CHIPS act prompts large companies and start-ups to take. 
🔹️ How current semiconductor-based research will be affected by the CHIPS act. 
🔹Advice for current MSE students about how to score a semiconductor-based job. 
🔹And much more!

We hope you enjoy the episode! And as always, let us know what topics you’d like us to cover next!
