This Ph.D. has broad experience in the integrated circuit industry ranging from developing semiconductor processes to serving as general manager of the US operations of a start-up IC memory company.  In recent years he has concentrated on consulting in the field of improving manufacturing operations in the IC industry and in the utilization of foundries by fabless companies.

His initial work in the semiconductor industry was developing specific processes for fabricating integrated circuits; later he supervised teams that developed many individual processes that were integrated together in a coherent manufacturing flow.  He also worked in wafer fabrication factories as an engineering manager and manufacturing manager, with the eventual responsibility of constructing and running the factories.  He has been responsible for product development and for quality and overall product manufacturing operations.
