The Act provides funding to various programs to reduce reliance on foreign semiconductor production by enhancing the United States workforce, manufacturing and research capacity in the semiconductor industry. The plan for the CHIPS and Science Act has been to administer program funding over a five-year term, for which we are now well underway (~$50B in funding has been allocated under the Act). \u0026nbsp;Georgia Tech has leveraged its competency in semiconductor and advanced packaging technology and has been a primary university partner in competing for R\u0026amp;D and Education and Workforce Development funding in a number of large federal funding program calls. This talk will highlight GT engagement and its role in helping to shape the US future in the semiconductor and advanced packaging technology sector.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout George White:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EDr. George White serves as the Senior Director in the Office of the Vice President for Interdisciplinary Research at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia. He earned his BA in Physics from Hampton University and went on to complete his M.S. and Ph.D. in Metallurgical Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWith over 25 years of experience in the microelectronics industry, Dr. White has held key positions at IBM, Motorola, and AVX Corporation. He is a recognized expert in electronic packaging and holds more than 30 U.S. and international patents in the field. Additionally, he founded Jacket Micro Devices, a company specializing in designing and manufacturing RF modules using multilayer Liquid Crystalline Polymers for multiband RF applications.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAt Georgia Tech, Dr. White plays a vital role in shaping strategies to expand the university\u2019s research enterprise, fostering innovation through collaborations with industry, government, and academia. He currently leads as Georgia Tech\u2019s Chief Chips Coordinating Officer for the CHIPS Act. Dedicated to strengthening research partnerships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs), he has been instrumental in establishing the HBCU CHIPS\u003Cbr\u003ENetwork.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMost recently, Dr. White was appointed to the \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/natcast.org\/workforce\/wfab\u0022\u003ENATCAST Workforce Advisory Board\u003C\/a\u003E, a national initiative focused on guiding workforce development for the semiconductor and microelectronics industries.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ESpeaker: George White, Sr Director, Strategic Partnerships; Chief Chips Strategy Officer, Office of the VPIR at Georgia Tech.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Speaker: George White, Sr Director, Strategic Partnerships; Chief Chips Strategy Officer, Office of the VPIR at Georgia Tech."}],"uid":"35575","created_gmt":"2025-02-18 20:54:57","changed_gmt":"2025-02-18 21:04:15","author":"adavidson38","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2025-03-03T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2025-03-03T13:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2025-03-03T13:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2025-03-03 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2025-03-03 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2025-03-03 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Callaway\/GTMI bldg., Room 114; Virtual link: https:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/93831187600?pwd=ZEspBdkH5vjWfl5KyHzMYorcNA8FKt.1","extras":["free_food"],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/gatech.zoom.us\/j\/93831187600?pwd=ZEspBdkH5vjWfl5KyHzMYorcNA8FKt.1","title":"Join virtually"},{"url":"https:\/\/research.gatech.edu\/manufacturing\/pastlectures","title":"Spring 2025 seminar series"}],"groups":[{"id":"155831","name":"Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute (GTMI)"},{"id":"660369","name":"Matter and Systems"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"189814","name":"go-researchevents"},{"id":"186857","name":"go-gtmi"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:billyde.brown@gatech.edu\u0022\u003EBillyde Brown\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
