Manna and the next generation in semiconductor talents
Embedded Files
Abstract
The Manna Ecosystem is operated by Manna_Team, the largest network focused on research, teaching, development, innovation, and the popularization of science in Hardware and Software for Exponential Technologies, as well as Chips and Education 5.0. The Manna_Team is one of the organizers of the Brazilian Chips Olympics. In this talk, it will be shown the 25 year of the Manna experience to attract and engage talents for the semiconductor area. Join us! Considering the attendance of the brazilian public school teachers, delightfully invited, the lecture will be done in portuguese.
The Manna_Team encourages broad participation from research professors, undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, and students from Early Childhood and Basic Education. The researchers team consists of 56 PhD researchers (14 women and 42 men) and 42 researchers with master's degrees (17 women and 25 men). Nowadays, 102 teachers, 2,000 basic education students and 54 undergraduate research fellows (Scientific Initiation – IC) are receiving training in technologies within the ecosystem. Today, Manna_Team is active in 133 municipalities across 23 states in Brazil, encompassing all five geographic regions of the country. The network comprises more than 3,000 members, including students and professors from 69 Higher Education Institutions (universities and institutes), 301 Brazilian public schools, 15 institutes and other local, called exponential spaces (museums, stadium, squares, gardens, theaters, homes, and all) where activities are developed. Between 2023 and 2025, Manna reached 80,304 people through its activities in training, outreach, innovation, and the popularization of science. During this period, it organized and conducted 104 training, educational, and scientific dissemination events, participated in 67 science popularization events, and trained 37 resident teachers and 2.600 students through the 17 TICs pedagogical residency program—an initiative focused on exponential technologies and promoted by the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation.
Biography - Dr. Kaushik Roy
Linnyer Ruiz is a microelectronic scientist with a special understanding of science influence and innovative strategies to engage the next generation in semiconductor talents. Linnyer was the first woman President of Microelectronics Brazilian Society, and she has become a first woman to receive a Landell de Moura Awards, as well as, a first woman professor to receive a "Mecenas da Inovação" Awards. She is a strong promoter and supporter of microelectronics, contributing to the creation of programs and Public Policy. Linnyer is the member of the Information Technology Area Committee of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, the member of the board of the SOFTEX, member of the steering committee of the INCT NAMITEC, and she was female coordinator of CNPq Microelectronics committee.She is a woman mentor for growing inspiring careers, in special woman.
Profa. Linnyer Ruiz is an Associate Professor at the Department of Informatics , State University of Maringá. She received the Ph.D degree from Computer Science in 2003, and an M.S. degree in Electrical and Engineering in 1996. She current research interests include hardware development of the newly emerging technologies with disruptive potential (Internet of Things, Internet of Drones, Internet of Robotics Things, and Artificial Intelligence) and the improvement of the culture linked to soft skills, which allows us to speak of Education 5.0 (where the “hardskills”, the “softskills”, the innovation and the vision for future are together). She authored and co-authored more than 200 publications.
Linnyer is the Manna_Team head , a research team that, beyond the published paper and the contribution to advance the state of art, empowers more than a thousands students and professors to learn and to experiment exponential technologies considering to get novel opportunities and to improve the future.
