Key Highlights from My Experience at IEDM 2023

At IEDM 2023, a significant emphasis was placed on addressing high computation/memory demands while minimizing interconnect delay, leading to a focus on low-energy electronics. Ongoing research highlighted the potential of Gate-All-Around (GAA) designs and projected the impending dominance of 2D materials by 2035. The considerable industry interest and investment in 2D materials underscored their promising applications. Additionally, the conference highlighted the importance of advanced packaging methods like 2.5D/3D stacking, offering immediate and future benefits, with ample room for enhancements and advancements.

Effective communication skill

Regardless of our professions or backgrounds, it's a fundamental skill we all benefit from mastering, shaping our interactions and connections in diverse aspects of life! Our education system, primarily centered around engineering, often lacks in this areas. I've been fortunate to grow and learn in this aspect, guided by experts and coaches. I'm eager to share a few crucial lessons I've picked up along the way.

Being aware of our unconscious behavior proves challenging, especially in communication. When engaging with others, we face three choices: (i) complete self-unawareness, focusing solely on others, (ii) total self-awareness, disregarding others entirely, or (iii) balancing self-awareness and attentiveness to others.

Opting for (i) or (ii) often creates a disconnection between speaker and listener. Ever noticed shallow breathing while addressing an audience? That signals trouble. Achieving (iii) demands practice and deliberate effort.

Ultimately, our communication shapes our capabilities. Prioritizing concepts like self-awareness and distinguishing between self-care and selfishness from an early stage is crucial. Education, practice, and perseverance in these areas can significantly enhance our interpersonal skills and overall effectiveness in communication!
