Amelia's Weekly Fish Fry

Super Human Perception and New Compute Paradigms: How imec is Driving Autonomous Innovation

In this week's Fish Fry podcast, Jo De Boeck (imec) joins me to chat about one of the hottest topics at this year’s ITF World - autonomous driving! Jo and I discuss the biggest challenges surrounding perception in autonomous driving, why there is a need for new compute paradigms in this arena and how imec is strengthening a variety of technology ecosystems through system technology co-optimization.

Fostering Innovation with Open Source Initiatives

Open source is the name of the game this week! Arun Gupta from Intel and I investigate the many ways that open source initiatives can foster innovation. We also chat about Intel’s history in the open source community, the evolution of Intel’s open source strategy and the progressive open source initiatives Intel is working on right now. Also this week, I check out the details of an open source tool from MIT's Senseable City Lab that can help people measure air pollution cheaply from anywhere.

 

The Flight Path Forward: Aviation Expert Vance Hilderman Discusses the Future of eVTOLs

This week’s podcast is all about one of my all-time favorite topics: VTOLs! My guest is aviation expert and CEO of AFuzion Vance Hinderman. Vance and I chat about AFuzion’s role in the aviation industry, Atea’s plans to launch an eVTOL aircraft in 2026, and where Vance thinks the eVTOL industry is headed in the future.

The Future of Space Exploration: BrainHQ’s Computerized Brain Training for Astronauts

This week Fish Fry is headed to space! My guest Mouna Attarha (Posit Science) and I explore a new study conducted by NASA that examined the benefits of computerized brain training for astronauts during long-distance space travel. We also chat about the adverse effects that space travel has on the brain and the exercises included in Posit Science’s BrainHQ app. Also this week, I investigate new research that may give astronauts a new way to easily quench their thirst on the moon. 

AI on the Rise: Artificial Intelligence for Low Code

Artificial intelligence takes center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! My guest Johanna Pingel (MathWorks) and I examine the benefits of using artificial intelligence for low code, the best practices in this arena, what applications would be a good fit for AI for low code and the super cool stuff MathWorks is doing in this space. Also this week, I investigate a new realm of AI exploration in medical applications… can AI ask AI for a second opinion? 

Biometric Recognition, Crypto Keys and Secure Element Chips: How Infineon is Shaping the Embedded Security Landscape

Step right up ladies and gentlemen, it's time to talk about security! My guest is Arnaud Moser from Infineon and in this week’s Fish Fry podcast, Arnaud and I delve into the world of biometric identification, crypto keys, and secure element microprocessors.

 

To the Sky and Beyond: Interface Concept’s Mission-Critical Solutions and Robots for Lunar Exploration

What have I got cooked up for you for this week’s Fish Fry podcast? First, my guest is Pierre Ansquer from Interface Concept and we are talking about 3U VPX, SBCs, packaged ethernet switches, and a whole lot more! Also this week, I investigate new mineral collecting robots developed by ETH Zurich and why these legged robots could be a game changer for space future travel.

Open Silicon Photonics and How OpenLight is Changing the Future of Photonic-Electronic Integration

This week’s Fish Fry podcast is all about photonic-electronic integration! My guest Dr. Adam Carter (CEO - OpenLight Photonics) and I discuss why there is a growing need for greater photonic-electronic integration, the role that PICs and on-chip optical amplification play in LiDAR applications, and the details of OpenLight’s open silicon photonics platform with integrated lasers. Also this week, I investigate a new experimental laser therapy that was able to boost short term memory.

New Avenues of IoT Exploration: TDK’s SmartRobotics™, SmartMotion® and SmartSound™ Solutions

IoT takes center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! Peter Hartwell (TDK) and I chat all about TDK’s new ultrasonic vision platform called SmartSonic, the details of their MEMS-based robotics platform called SmartRobotics, the challenges that their SmartMotion UHP sensor family is looking to solve, and what their scalable digital microphones called SmartSound are all about! Also this week, I check out a new inexpensive, biodegradable 3D printed sensor that changes color when it is heated or stretched.

Flying to the Future: 100G VPX and the Alef Model A

In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, my guest is Ivan Straznicky from Curtiss-Wright. Ivan and I chat all about 100G VPX, the challenges of a VPX transmission channel and what VPX Gen 6 and 7 will look like! Also this week, I investigate the Alef's Model A Flying car and why this new eVTOL could be the first flying car to make it into commercial airspace.
