17 Nov 2025 /  
7:30pm - 9:00pm

About

Semiconductors are the invisible engines driving modern technology — from smartphones to electric vehicles. While silicon has long been the cornerstone of this revolution, a new class of materials known as compound semiconductors is opening the door to more powerful, efficient, and versatile innovations. These advanced materials, like Silicon Carbide and Gallium Nitride, offer unique properties such as high-speed performance, superior efficiency, and the ability to operate in extreme environments. 
  
In this talk, we’ll explore how compound semiconductors are shaping future applications like electric vehicles, secure telecom networks and renewable energy solutions. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast or simply curious about the future of innovation, this session will connect the science of semiconductors to the technology that impacts our everyday lives and will explore the big difference it’s making around the world!
