Speaker: Sam Massih (Session 1 Keynote)Bio: Director of Wearable Sensors, Invensense
Sam Massih is a semiconductor industry veteran with 18 years of experience in establishing, growing, and managing technology based businesses. His entire career has centered around defining and launching new semiconductor product lines targeted at consumer markets such as mobile, tablet, STB, LCD TV, DSC, and now wearable technologies. Sam's past adventures has taken him to Maxim, NXP (formally Philips Semiconductor), and Semtech where he's been responsible for establishing and growing analog video, LED, and touch interface businesses, respectively. Sam's most recent challenge has been at InvenSense where he is focusing on enabling the next generation of wearable products in the fitness, mobile, and smart bands markets. These markets will require more sensor data to drive better lifestyle decisions, provide day-to-day utility, and generate more valuable data for the cloud services. Mr. Massih holds a MBA from the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business, a MSEE from University of New York, and a BSEE from Pennsylvania State University. |

Title: Geir Ostrem Abstract: Geir S. Ostrem (M89) is leading communications infrastructure IC design at Maxim Integrated, Colorado Springs, Colorado. He received the M.Sc. and Ph. D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway in 1991 and 1996 respectively. He designed analog CMOS, BiCMOS and bipolar ASICs for a multitude of applications at Nordic VLSI, Trondheim, Norway from 1992-1998, with primary focus on high speed ADCs. From 1998 to 1999, he contributed to an analog front end for ADSL at Globespan Semiconductor, Red Bank, New Jersey as an LSI design project lead. He designed high speed ADCs at Signal Processing Technologies, Colorado Springs, Colorado from 1999 to 2001. Since 2001 he has been with Maxim Integrated, where his main contribution has been the development of RF-DACs, eliminating analog modulators in wired and wireless RF transmitters. Currently, he is an Executive Director of IC Design. His work is focused on digital RF solutions. | |
