Fall 2019 Physics Careers Seminar Continues on Oct. 18 with Dr. Man-Hong Wong From Lam Research

The Fall 2019 Physics Careers Seminar series continues on Oct. 18 next week with a presentation by alumnus Dr. Man-Hong Wong from Lam Research:

Time: 11 a.m. on Friday, October 18, 2019 (refreshments served at 10:30 a.m.)

Location: 222 Loomis Laboratory (Note special location)

Title: Working in the Semiconductor Industry, Outside of Intel

Speaker: Dr. Man-Hong Wong, Lam Research

Abstract: The UIUC physics department has continuously fed talent to Intel; however, there are many companies in the semiconductor industry that are suitable for physicists. One such company is Lam Research, which is a wafer fabrication equipment manufacturer. In this talk, I will give an overview of Lam Research, describe some of the day-to-day tasks that one might find themselves doing, and give pointers on how to survive in this fast-paced industry. I will also describe how I apply some of the skills I've learned in grad school to my job and share my experience working at Lam Research for close to two years.

Bio: Man-Hong is currently working as a Product Engineer at Lam Research in the Conductor Etch Group where he works on hardware development and customer management. Prior to Lam, Man-Hong received his PhD working with Tai-Chang Chiang, focusing on thin-film grow of topological insulators and studying them using ARPES.

Man-Hong is available to meet with interested students on Friday, Oct. 18 next week, so if you're interested in discussing opportunities at Lam Research or the semiconductor industry with him, please let me know and I'll try to set up a meeting.
