Presented by EDFAS (Electronic Device Failure Analysis Society)
The author will describe her experience navigating a multidimensional career path that weaves materials science, microelectronics technology, intellectual property protection, entrepreneurship, creativity, service, and social awareness into a single entity called NanoSpective. Motivated by a passion for science and a rebellious propensity to dispel unnecessary limitations, the speaker set out to create a path alternative to academia, national lab or big industry. Fast forward twenty-one years and NanoSpective is a privately held advanced materials characterization company with an essential focus on scientific excellence and stakeholder relationships. The company's success is propelled by team member inspiration, fulfilment, and creative expression. A collection of vignettes will be presented to recount the parallel evolution of the company and founder.
