Amelia's Weekly Fish Fry

This week’s Fish Fry podcast is all about photonics and the future of optical computing! Maurice (Mo) Steinman from Lightelligence and I chat about why Lightelligence is on a mission to be the leader in silicon photonics computing, the details of PACE (Lightelligence’s first fully integrated optical computing platform), and what sets this computing platform apart from traditional silicon chips.

 

Quantum computing takes center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! Dr. Erik Garcell (Classiq) and I chat about how Classiq is shaking up the quantum computing industry with a revolutionary new process for quantum computing software development. We discuss why Erik believes IP protection is crucial to the development of quantum computing, the details of Classiq’s collaboration with Rolls-Royce, and why today is a the perfect time to jumpstart your quantum computing journey. Also this week, I check out a new research study that aims to answer: Can OpenAI's GPT-3 program help detect early signs of Alzheimer's disease?

In honor of a momentous season of Fish Fry, we are ending the year with a spotlight on Amelia’s 500th episode with David Mayman! (CEO - Mayman Aerospace and inventor of the jetpack)

 

The 500th episode of Amelia’s Weekly Fish Fry podcast has arrived! My special guest is the one and only David Mayman! (CEO - Mayman Aerospace) David and I chat about his motivation to design jetpacks and air utility vehicles and the evolution of the Mayman Aerospace’s Speeder VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) air utility vehicle. We also discuss the future of aviation and how these kinds of air utility vehicles can change not only the future of aviation but also the world at large. Also this week, to celebrate this momentous occasion, I share some of my favorite experiences working on this long-running podcast.

Longtime friend of the show Bill Neifert (Corellium) joins me this week to chat about the benefits virtual modeling can bring to the world of IoT. We discuss trends in IoT system design today and how Arm and Corellium are looking to transform IoT development and testing environments with virtualization technology.

In this week’s podcast, Pete Nicoletti (Check Point Software) and I chat about the top three cyber security threats today and how Check Point Software’s prevention-first strategy can help address these issues. Also this week, I check out a recent study from the University of Copenhagen that contends that the first life in our solar system started on Mars. 

What do IC design for test, the Tessent multi-die software solution and the best semiconductor material of all time have in common? This week’s podcast of course! My guest Vidya Neerkunda (Siemens) and I discuss the trends in the IC industry today, the unique testing challenges for today’s cutting edge integrated circuits and why automation for 2D and 3D IC design-for-test is the way of the future. Also this week, I investigate a new semiconductor material that is being called the best of all time. 

In my Fish Fry podcast this week, Amol Borkar from Cadence Design Systems joins me to discuss the evolution of always-on devices, the role that AI and sensors are playing in the trajectory of always-on device development and the requirements needed for the next generation of always-on devices.

Are you ready to twist, turn and get your robotics groove on? Longtime friend of the show Phil Hutchinson from Element14 joins me this week to chat about Element14’s new Twist, Turn and Move Robotics Design Challenge. I also investigate a new kind of robotic gripper inspired by jellyfish. 

 

AI once again takes center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! Johanna Pingel from MathWorks and I discuss the differences between complexity vs. explainability in artificial intelligence, how you will know if explainability is right for your application and how explainability will impact the future of AI. Also this week, I examine how AI could predict extreme wildfire danger.

A topic that is near and dear to my heart takes center stage in this week's podcast: sustainability. Iain Galloway (NXP) and Richard Fix (Bosch Sensortec) join me to discuss how you can help solve real-world societal challenges with the NXP HoverGames. We also discuss the variety of components and technologies provided to contestants of this unique design contest and why sustainable food ecosystems is the theme of this year’s HoverGames. Also this week, keeping with our sustainability theme, I how AI is helping save Norway's endangered Atlantic salmon.
