 n\nABSTRACT\n\nSemiconductor technology has been the cornerstone of innova
 tion in many fields and disciplines of an increasingly electronic world. I
 nnovations across the ecosystem of CMOS technology over the last several d
 ecades have enabled an exponential improvement in devices and systems perf
 ormance.\n\nThe figures of merit in modern high-speed computation and mach
 ine learning engines\, wide bandwidth communication systems\, large array 
 sensors\, high voltage power conversion\, and many other subsystems are ex
 pected to grow exponentially\, yet the same CMOS scaling trend that has se
 rved us well for so long needs to be complemented by innovations in new ma
 terials\, devices\, circuits\, systems\, and algorithms.\n\nA wide range o
 f advanced technologies in heterogenous integration\, chiplets\, and new d
 evices such as compound\, 2D\, and 1D materials can facilitate new system 
 optimization and partitioning to sustain the system-level exponential perf
 ormance growth. Recent unprecedented investments in semiconductor R&D from
  governments and industry have set the stage for more research opportuniti
 es and breakthrough ideas in the field.\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Bahai will h
 ighlight some of the challenges of the future systems in autonomous machin
 es\, data centers\, life science\, and the enabling disruptive technologie
 s in multiple disciplines of semiconductor research ranging from materials
  to system architecture. \n\nBIOGRAPHY\n\nAhmad Bahai is a senior vice pre
 sident and chief technology officer (CTO) of Texas Instruments responsible
  for guiding breakthrough innovation\, corporate research and Kilby Labs.\
 n\nDr. Bahai is a Professor of the Practice at MIT\, an IEEE Fellow\, and 
 a member of the US Department of Commerce’s Industrial Advisory Committe
 e related to the CHIPS for America Act. He was an adjunct professor at Sta
 nford University from 2017-2022 and a professor in residence at the Univer
 sity of California\, Berkeley from 2001-2010. Throughout his career\, Dr. 
 Bahai has held a number of leadership roles including director of research
  labs and chief technology officer of National Semiconductor\, technical m
 anager of a research group at Bell Laboratories\, and founder of Algorex\,
  a communication and acoustic IC and system company that was acquired by N
 ational Semiconductor.\n\nHe holds a Master of Science in Electrical Engin
 eering from Imperial College\, University of London and a doctoral degree 
 in Electrical Engineering from the UC Berkeley.
