Partha Pande, interim dean of Washington State University’s (WSU) Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture, has been appointed to Washington State’s CHIPS and Science Act working group.
The group, established by Washington Governor Jay Inslee earlier this year, aims to secure state-level opportunities under the federal bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act, which is designed to boost semiconductor manufacturing and research in the U.S. The act authorizes funding to boost domestic research and manufacturing of semiconductors in the United States.
Pande, a professor and the Boeing Centennial chair in Computer Engineering, is one of 11 members chosen for the working group. These individuals are recognized as leaders in Washington’s semiconductor industry, which generates $4.5 billion in economic impact and employs nearly 8,600 people statewide, according to the Washington State Commerce Department.
With over 18 years at WSU, Pande has conducted pioneering research in Network-on-Chip (NoC) technology, which enhances communication within many-core chips. This work could lead to significant improvements in the energy efficiency of data centers and high-performance computing systems. Pande is a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and was recently named to the Washington Academy of Sciences.
“The CHIPS and Science Act is an historic investment in science and technology across the country that will spur innovation in semiconductor technology while building our engineering and computer science workforce,” said Pande. “I’m excited to serve on this working group and to provide my expertise for the state of Washington in this important endeavor.”
The working group’s efforts align with Washington’s expanding role in semiconductor research and development. In 2023, WSU became a founding partner of the Northwest University Semiconductor Network, aimed at training the next generation of the U.S. semiconductor workforce.
