Silicon Beach 2025 May Chapter Meeting

Join BP Silicon Beach for their March Chapter Meeting!

The evolution and impact of the CHIPS Act: Observations from an academic’s brief tour of duty in government and how the universities can help keep government R&D dollars flowing.

Meet the speaker:

Subramanian (Subu) S. Iyer

Subramanian (Subu) S. Iyer (Life Fellow, IEEE) received his B.Tech. degree in electrical engineering from IIT Bombay, Mumbai, India, in 1977, and his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from UCLA in 1981.  He was a Fellow of IBM, and is currently a Distinguished Professor and holds the Charles P. Reames Endowed Chair at the Electrical Engineering Department and a joint appointment at the Materials Science and Engineering Department, UCLA, where he also is the Director of the Center for Heterogeneous Integration and Performance Scaling (CHIPS).

He developed a technology used to make the first generation of truly low-power portable devices and the first commercial interposer and 3-D integrated products. He was also among the first to commercialize bonded silicon on insulator (SOI) for CMOS applications through a startup called SiBond LLC. More recently, he has been exploring new packaging paradigms and device innovations that may enable wafer-scale architectures, in-memory analog compute, and medical engineering applications at UCLA.

          He has authored over 300 articles and holds over 75 patents. Dr. Iyer received several outstanding technical achievements and corporate awards at IBM. And he is omnipresent in his field through his many awards and posts in organizations.
