I was just chatting with Tim Morin, who is Senior Director of Marketing and Applications at Microchip Technology. Unlike many of my conversations with technology companies, Tim didn’t have a particular axe to grind. Instead, he took the time to bring me up to date with Microchip’s space strategy.</ … Read More → "Space Isn’t What It Used to Be: The Final Frontier Has Gone Commercial"
Welcome to our third annual International Women in Engineering Day Fish Fry podcast!

In this special episode of Fish Fry, we discuss their journeys into the world of high tech, examine how the EE landscape has changed over the years and what they would like to see in the future … Read More → "Fish Fry Special Edition: 2026 International Women in Engineering Day"
Suppose you find yourself on a battlefield facing an incoming swarm of drones. Let’s assume you’re reasonably confident that most of them are decoys or spoofing drones, while only a select few are carrying payloads designed to introduce a brief but memorable period of excitement into your life.
Unfortunately, your ability to shoot these little scamps out of … Read More → "Is it a Bird? Is it a Drone? Neuromorphic Edge AI Knows"
In this week’s podcast, I explore the evolution of model-based systems engineering with Becky Petteys from MathWorks. We chat about how high-fidelity digital twins help teams catch issues early, the growing importance of data science in modern design, and the practical ways AI is transforming MBSE workflows today.
In some cases, AI can speed things up tremendously; in other cases, not so much. Take protein folding, for example. A highly simplistic view of the way things work is that human DNA contains roughly 20,000 protein-encoding genes, and the proteins encoded by these genes serve as the molecular machines that drive the chemistry of life.
As a reminder, each gene … Read More → "Addressing the Disconnect Between AI Speed and Wet Lab Reality"
Do you remember when you were a kid, and you were first taught that humans have five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch? I remember how this all seemed so obvious when I first heard about it (no pun intended). It never struck me that my teachers might be lying to me, even if unintentionally or “lying by omission.”
