Lisa Su is the current CEO of the semiconductor company Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).
She is the first woman to become the CEO of AMD.
She is known for her works in the fields such as Semiconductors On Insulators (SOI) technology.
She did her BS in Electrical Engineering at MIT and pursued to do MS and did PhD in SOI technology.
It is a technology to fabricate silicon transistors over another layer of silicon transistors with an insulating medium between the two layers of silicon. This would help in reducing the size and increasing the performance of the devices.
After completing her PhD in 1994, she joined Texas Instruments. There she worked on and devised a technique to utilize copper in semiconductor connections instead of aluminium. This resulted in 20% faster operating devices.
She also served as the director in the R&D department of IBM in 2000s and also started her own semiconductor company.
She joined AMD in the year 2012 and in the year 2014 AMD announced her as its new CEO. At that time, AMD had very worse market shares and the company was at the brink of bankruptcy.
With decades of experience in the field of semiconductors, Lisa Su along with other directors devised a plan to bring back the company to its form.
They focused on manufacturing CPUs and other Semiconductors for high performance computing such as gaming and hosting data centres. As a result, they launched their Ryzen CPUs based on Zen architecture in 2017. This surged their CPU market share to about 11%.
And currently, she is the CEO of AMD and also serves as directors for companies such as Cisco Inc, Analog Devices.

Our body gets energy from the food that we consume. The food we consume is broken down into glucose and from that energy is obtained. When there is excess of glucose, it is stored in muscles and fat cells, utilized when there is a demand.
Our body does this automatically without any intervention. An organ, pancreas is responsible for regulating the blood glucose level. It secretes two hormones namely, Insulin and Glucagon. Insulin lowers the blood glucose levels and Glucagon increases the blood glucose levels. Thus, maintaining the blood glucose level to a rate of 70-180 mg/dL. When our body fails to do this automatically, we encounter diabetes.

It secretes two hormones namely, Insulin and Glucagon. Insulin lowers the blood glucose levels and Glucagon increases the blood glucose levels. Thus, maintaining the blood glucose level to a rate of 70-180 mg/dL. When our body fails to do this automatically, we encounter diabetes.
The controller comes loaded with a control algorithm that predicts the blood glucose levels and injects required amount of insulin. When the person is eating, they can press the button “I am Eating” and then enter the calories of the food they consume which may help predict the glucose level much better. Also, they can press “I am Exercising” button when they exercise so the device stops injecting insulin in the blood. The next step is to take it design a fully autonomous device that will be placed within our body.
Ultra-cold atoms are excellent sensors of time, magnetic field and vacuum, obeying quantum -mechanics rules. Physicists could use these ultra-cold atoms to sense even the weakest magnetic fields in the room, or to build a clock with an accuracy of four-billionth of a second. But they probably couldn’t get these sensors or clocks out of their lab.
Now, a team of physicists from the University of Nottingham have shown that 3D printing parts for these ultra-cold quantum experiments allows them to shrink their device down to just a third of its usual size. This could be a more accessible way to create smaller, more stable, and personalized experiment setups.
The Nottingham team’s experiment does not take an entire table – it has a volume of 0.15 cubic meters. To build it, Somaya Madkhaly and her colleagues embarked on something like a very customizable Lego set, that’s very small. Typically, they work on a 5-by-8-foot table covered with a maze of mirrors and lenses (optical components) that guide and manipulate light as it travels through millions of atoms, often which are stored in an ultra-high vacuum chamber. They almost reduced the size by about 70% compared to the conventional setup. Instead of buying parts, they assembled their setup from blocks that they 3D printed to be shaped exactly the way they wanted.
Thus, 3D printing helps ultra-cold quantum experiments get smaller!
Yet another an engaging and mirthful event of the academic year 2021-2022, organized by the IEEE and WIE club, was held on the 5th of January 2022. The event was titled ‘FRESH START’, welcoming the commence of the new year and was a propulsive to motivate the audience to inculcate technical stuff in a merely entrancing facet, along with a brief elucidation of the club`s agenda. The rendezvous was chaperoned by Ms. S K Samrutha IV ECE A and Ms. Anjala Monal M S IV ECE A, in the ECE Seminar Hall between 5pm to 6:15pm. A good congregation of students took part in this event. The event comprised of enumerable technical and non-technical questions that embraced the students to assess their grasp and elicit answers. The technical questions focused in the genre, ‘Units and Measurements’. Also, a buzzer round was conducted in the mid, not to eradicate slightest of the audience`s enthusiasm. In a nutshell, the pupil`s interaction was diligently remarkable and they gestured a positive response by terming the event to be informative and clubbable. The event was headed by the branch counsellor Dr. C. Kalyana Sundaram M.E, Phd. Assistant professor Department of ECE.
