WASHINGTON, D.C. — In remarks to the Industrial Advisory Committee today, Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Director Laurie E. Locascio will announce five leaders joining the CHIPS Research and Development Office within CHIPS for America. CHIPS for America was established by historic legislation to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to the U.S. and to solidify the country’s leadership in technology and innovation.
“While the manufacturing incentives of the CHIPS Act will bring semiconductor manufacturing back to the U.S., the CHIPS R&D programs will ensure America’s global leadership by creating a robust semiconductor R&D ecosystem,” said Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. “These leaders bring exactly the depth and breadth of organizational, programmatic and technical leadership experience that CHIPS needs to stand up new, transformational R&D programs.”
“We are building a national R&D ecosystem that will keep our budding semiconductor manufacturing base one of the world’s most technologically advanced,” said Locascio. “To make the CHIPS R&D programs into bustling centers of innovation, we need the country’s best people to execute our vision. These are the experts who will propel CHIPS for America and the nation’s semiconductor sector forward.”
The announced CHIPS Research and Development (R&D) Office leaders are:
Lora Weiss, Director
Eric Lin, Deputy Director
Neil Alderoty, Executive Officer
Richard-Duane Chambers, Associate Director for Integration and Policy
Marla Dowell, Director of the CHIPS R&D Metrology Program
