ABOUT THE LECTURE

“CHIPS: Execute for Success”

Semiconductor innovation is a foundation to national security, economic
security and job security in America. Since before the passage of CHIPS and
Science Act in summer 2022, federal and state governments, companies and
universities have stepped up the effort to revitalize the entire
semiconductor supply chain in the U.S. We will review Purdue University’s
initiatives in this area and draw some lessons on universities’ role in
talent development, research moonshots, and public private partnership.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Professor Mung Chiang, President of Purdue University

Mung Chiang is the 13th president of Purdue University and the Roscoe H.
George Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He
was previously the John A. Edwardson Dean of the College of Engineering and
executive vice president for strategic initiatives at Purdue University, as
well as the Arthur LeGrand Doty Professor of Electrical Engineering at
Princeton University.


Chiang founded the Princeton EDGE Lab in 2009 and then founded several
startup companies and industry consortia in edge computing. As the Science
and Technology Adviser to the U.S. Secretary of State in 2020, he initiated
tech diplomacy programs for the U.S. government. Currently he serves on the
inaugural board of the U.S. Foundation for Energy Security and Innovation
and several corporate and nonprofit boards.


Chiang received his BS (1999), MS (2000) and PhD (2003) from Stanford
University and an honorary doctorate (2024) from Dartmouth College. For his
research in communication networks, he received the NSF Alan T. Waterman
Award (2013), as well as the IEEE Kiyo Tomiyasu Award (2012), the IEEE
INFOCOM Achievement Award (2022) and a Guggenheim Fellowship (2014). He was
elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (Class of Mathematical
and Physical Sciences 2024), the National Academy of Inventors (2020) and
the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (2020).
