The assistant secretary for the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs Ramin Toloui (pictured) came to Arizona recently to promote plans to open access for U.S. companies to the international semiconductor industry talent pipeline. The effort will be supported through a collaboration of the state department and the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering to diversify the global semiconductor ecosystem. Toloui toured ASU’s MacroTechnology Works, where Fulton Schools researchers are seeking to advance semiconductor development. The government agency wants to leverage ASU’s technical expertise and international industry relationships to help overcome constraints hampering progress by U.S. semiconductor manufacturing companies.
