The ceremony comes two months after a delegation from Taiwan’s NYCU visited Purdue with a deal with strengthening the collaboration between the 2 companions in semiconductor initiatives at each establishments.
Purdue introduced in April the formation of the President’s Semiconductor Task Force to coordinate and lead Purdue’s efforts towards modern analysis and growth by means of the CHIPS for America and Science Act. Mark Lundstrom, chief semiconductor officer for Purdue and the Don and Carol Scifres Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Pc Engineering, will lead the duty pressure. The duty pressure is a important element of the Semiconductors@Purdue initiative, which addresses workforce growth, analysis and financial growth.
