Erica R.H. Fuchs, a professor in the Department of Engineering and Public Policy in Carnegie Mellon University’s College of Engineering, has been appointed to the inaugural board of trustees(opens in new window) that will oversee the National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC). The core research and development component of the Department of Commerce’s CHIPS for America program, NSTC aims to strengthen U.S. leadership in semiconductor research, design, engineering and advanced manufacturing.
“Erica is a brilliant talent, and the perfect choice to help guide the direction of an organization that is pivotal to the future of manufacturing and innovation in America,” said CMU President Farnam Jahanian. “Carnegie Mellon University is proud to call her one of our own, and I look forward to watching Erica shape the success of the National Semiconductor Technology Center as well as CHIPS for America.” Expected to launch this fall, the NSTC was a key component of the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 that focused on promoting semiconductor manufacturing. A semiconductor is a material that controls electric currents, making it the “brains” behind most modern electronics, including smartphones, computers and televisions. --- Frank C.
