GW scholars continue to pave the way with groundbreaking research. Our very own SEAS Assistant ECE professor, Dr. Gina Adam, is no exception. She leads a GW team working to develop new semiconductor prototypes for microchip innovation.

“GW is one of five academic research partners working with the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute for Standards and Technology, Google and a semiconductor manufacturer to create an affordable supply of new microchip technologies for the research community and startups. The collaboration, which aims to unleash innovation in the semiconductor and nanotechnology industries, comes as the U.S. government seeks to expand U.S. manufacturing of computer chips through the bipartisan CHIPS Act. The GW team is developing new chip designs that will mimic the computational power of the human brain and nervous system. For the students involved in the project, being able to work on device fabrication and circuit design while simultaneously addressing a national priority has proved an invaluable experience.”
