Fan Zhang

Senior Director/Senior Principal Engineer, Advanced Technology at Solidigm.

A memory system that detects and corrects failed codewords using chipkill parity and turbo decoding with feedback loops—boosting reliability through advanced error correction.

Anton J deVillers

R&D VP Lithography Patterning Fellow @ TEL | Semiconductors, Photolithography.

A method for building semiconductor devices by first adding dummy power rails from one side, then replacing them with real conductive rails from the opposite side—optimizing chip layout and power delivery.

Jason A Demers

Engineering Manager / Senior Program Manager at DEKA R&D Corp.

A layered microneedle patch with a collapsible drug reservoir and removable cover. Designed for easy, controlled delivery of medical agents through skin using a microneedle system.

Maharaj Mukherjee

Senior Vice President and Senior Architect Lead at Bank of America.

A system for securing data in distributed networks by segmenting, rearranging, and analyzing data fragments to detect sensitive information—even after nodes are removed.

Ralph A Stearns

Ralph, President at Skate One Corp, previously worked at SurgiQuest and US Surgical in Connecticut.

He holds engineering degrees from Northeastern and Rensselaer, is a licensed PE, and was the primary inventor of the AirSeal trocar used in laparoscopic surgery.

A surgical insufflation system with smart flow control that recirculates gas, minimizes outside air contamination, and maintains safe pressure levels during procedures.

Hyosig Kang

Co-Founder and CTO at NAVIGANTIS Inc., Empowering Neurovascular Care with Surgical Robotics.

A method for calibrating a robotic arm by optically tracking its base and a marker during free movement. It defines a coordinate transformation to enable precise control of the arm based on tracked motion data.

George A Powell

President at Skate One Corp.

A skateboard press with deformable liners that apply even pressure to decks with varying thickness—ensuring consistent quality in multi-layered boards.

Yu Jiang Tham

Senior Software Engineer at Superstate.

A new system captures an object in your view, tracks it over time, and sends a 3D snapshot or AR version to someone else—making it feel like you handed them the real thing.
