IEEE President and NASA Webb Space Telescope Chief Architect to Headline DesignCon 2024

Keynote Sessions Highlight the Boundless Limits of Semiconductor Design and Innovation

SANTA CLARA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 12, 2023 / DesignCon (January 30 - February 1, 2024, at the Santa Clara Convention Center), the premiere event for chip, board, and systems design engineers, today announced keynote speakers from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and Northrop Grumann Space.

Tom Coughlin, industry analyst and 2024 IEEE President and CEO, will open the conference by exploring the current state of the semiconductor industry, and what the future has in store as new advancements are made in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous vehicles, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Coughlin's keynote will also explore the critical roles of production, supply chain, and workforce development have in supporting the continued growth of the $46.9 billion global semiconductor market, and how IEEE is working with industry organizations and members of the industry to develop the roadmaps for future innovations.

Jon Arenberg, Chief Mission Architect, Science & Robotic Missions, Civil & Commercial Space at Northrop Grumman Space, will discuss the mission, design and performance of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. Designed to photograph and analyze the formation of stars and planetary systems in the wake of the "Big Bang," Arenberg will delve into the engineering challenges and innovative technologies developed for capturing infrared wavelengths in the conditions of deep space, including the telescope's advanced IR cameras and spectrometers.

Now in its 29^th year, DesignCon is a three-day technical conference and two-day expo dedicated to providing practical solutions to the design challenges and opportunities faced by today's chip, board, and system engineers. With 14 conference tracks spanning a variety of topic areas ̶ including 5G and communications, advanced I/O design, power and signal systems design, and much more. DesignCon offers unparalleled educational and networking opportunities for engineering professionals of all levels. Returning for 2024 is the addition of Drive World, a conference track dedicated to autonomous and electric vehicle (EV) design, intelligence, and electronics.
