This week we’re diving into a challenge that’s becoming increasingly important: how do we make sure our engineering workflows, software, data, and AI can all work together reliably? My guest is Jonathan Wright, Chief Technologist at Keysight. Jonathan and I chat about the industry’s shift toward multi-physics and application-specific workflows and how that evolution is changing the way engineering…
In this week's podcast, we're talking about a problem that is increasingly difficult to ignore: wildfires and extreme weather. My guest is Indran "Indy" Ratnathicam, Chief Growth Officer from Technosylva, a company whose tagline says it all: “We fight fire and extreme weather with science.” Indy and I chat about about Technosylva's dedicated wildfire supercomputing system, how AI fits into the…
My podcast guest this week is Jason Ghidella, Sr. Principal Technologist at MathWorks. Jason and I discuss what breaks when you try to use agentic AI in complex engineering systems, where today’s agentic AI tools tend to fall short for engineering teams, and why AI must integrate with simulation, verification, and deterministic tools to produce repeatable, traceable evidence.
My podcast guest this week is Dr. Maha Achour, CEO and Founder of Kodamai. Maha and I chat about the shifting landscape of AI and how we can move beyond cloud and centralized data centers to a more distributed, agentic future. We discuss why governance must 'travel' with AI agents, what it means for trust to be architectural rather than procedural, and how Kodamai’s 'math-first' approach is…
In this week's podcast, we're diving into the future of autonomous aerial infrastructure Doug Muhlbauer from Birdstop. Doug and I chat about the challenges of building 'drone-in-a-box' systems, check out what real-world industry adoption looks like, and explore the critical roles that reliability and regulation play in this space and what the future looks like for this innovative drone company.…
My podcast guest this week is Jason Oberg from Arteris. Jason and I discuss this profound transition toward hardware security, explore how Cycuity's integration into Arteris is changing the game for system-level security and discuss how teams can address the emerging risks in our era of distributed systems, chiplets, and constant data movement.
Let’s talk about Photonics! My guests are esteemed scientists Tim McKenna and Ryo Yanagimoto, from the Physics & Informatics Laboratories at NTT. Tim and I chat about balancing theoretical physics with real-world applications at NTT, his most exciting photonics projects, and the primary obstacles to replacing traditional electronics with photonic technologies. Ryo and I dig into the game-changing…
RAIN RFID takes center stage in this week's podcast!My guest is Matt Branda, Vice President at Impinj! Matt and I explore the vital role of RAIN RFID in the modern digital landscape. We break down what this technology actually is and the importance of Impinj’s contributions to the RAIN RFID ecosystem. We also chat about how RAIN RFID is shaping autonomous, data-driven operations and how it can…
Welcome to our third annual International Women in Engineering Day Fish Fry podcast! My special guests are Laura Mirkarimi from Adeia, Angelica Davila from Penguin Solutions, and Madison Ecklund from Texas Instruments. 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 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.
Artificial intelligence is moving faster than ever, but as AI models continue to grow in size and complexity, the challenges surrounding inference performance are becoming impossible to ignore. In this week's podcast, ElastixAI CEO Dr. Mohammad Rastegari and I chat about how we can overcome those challenges and why a different approach to AI infrastructure is necessary for the next generation of…
