A popular summer camp is the latest in a series of collaborations and initiatives designed to increase semiconductor career training access.

UArizona joins 15 other higher education institutions across the country launching clinics this year thanks to a collaboration between Google and the Consortium of Cybersecurity Clinics, an organization established in 2021 to train the next generation of cyber leaders and protect community organizations from online threats.

Ali Taha Habiboglu a PhD candidate majoring in physics/minoring in materials science and engineering, will pitch Fig Microchips: Lowering the cost of various magnetic sensor-based integrated circuits by replacing many sensors with one.

By combining highly specialized semiconductor materials and piezoelectric materials not typically used together, the researchers were able to generate giant nonlinear interactions between phonons. Together with previous innovations demonstrating amplifiers for phonons using the same materials, this opens up the possibility of making wireless devices such as smartphones or other data transmitters smaller, more efficient and more powerful.

CSM Fellow Dr. Janet Roveda was elected to the 2024 American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering College of Fellows. “AIMBE Fellows represent the top 2% of the medical and biological engineering community and are selected through a rigorous nomination and election process. We are immensely proud of Dr. Janet Roveda's achievement in being elected as a 2024 AIMBE fellow,” said Michael Wu, department head and professor of electrical and computer engineering.

Liesl Folks, vice president for semiconductor strategy and director of the Center for Semiconductor Manufacturing, has won the Distinguished Service Award from the IEEE Magnetics Society.

In a world increasingly filled with internet connectivity at the touch of a finger, the threat of cybersecurity risks grows with each technological innovation. In the face of such a threat, the staff and faculty at the University of Arizona College of Applied Science and Technology are training the next generation of cyber professionals to secure and protect the nation's data, communications and privacy.

As the BIO5 Institute director assumes her presidency of SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics in 2024, she propels the international society for optics and photonics into new frontiers and underscores her role as a leader in cutting-edge research and innovation while representing UArizona.

National leaders from higher education, government, nonprofits and industry gathered at a conference sponsored by the University of Arizona's Center for Semiconductor Manufacturing on Feb. 19 and 20 to strategize around how to shore up the domestic semiconductor industry.
