6: The Interface between MSE and Electronics (feat. Dr. Himani Sharma)

Electronics are the core of our information age. So how will Materials Scientists drive the next great leap in electronics technology?

 

Before we introduce today’s guest, check out our free professional development guide for materials scientists and engineers and join our Discord community to meet other passionate MSEs from around the world!

 

In today’s episode we talk with Dr. Himani Sharma, a lecturer and former research scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology. In this conversation we unpack how and where the next generation of electronics innovations may occur.

 

Our topics in today’s episode include:

• Solving connectivity issues in circuits to improve their performance (11:32)
• The connection between Moore’s Law and MSE (20:30)
• Looking into solutions to solve the problem of e-waste (26:48)
• Graphene and 2D materials (33:16)
• Increasing opportunity for human-electronic integrations (42:44)
• And much more!
