Amelia's Weekly Fish Fry

In this week’s podcast, we’re looking at the future of wireless engineering, and how agentic AI, digital twins, and 6G networks are coming together to change how we design, simulate, and operate connected systems. My guest week is Houman Zarrinkoub, Principal Product Manager of Wireless Communications at MathWorks. Houman and I explore why RF digital twins are moving beyond offline simulations...

My guest this week is Tom Hazlett from sensiBel. Tom and I explore how sensiBel’s optical MEMS technology is reimagining what’s possible in acoustic performance. Tom and I will dive into how sensiBel’s optical MEMS architecture overcomes the classical constraints of legacy capacitive sensors, real-world applications where being able to detect those subtle sounds and vibrations could make a big...

In this week’s podcast, we're diving deep into the frontier of artificial intelligence and exploring how mimicking the human brain could hold the key to ultra-low-power, highly efficient computing at the edge. My guest is Sean Hehir, CEO of BrainChip. Sean and I explore their groundbreaking Akida neuromorphic processor and how BrainChip's event-based approach processes data only when meaningful...

To celebrate the 700th episode of Amelia’s Weekly Fish Fry, we’re diving big into the world of microscopic tech! Tune in to discover light-powered microbots capable of hunting down bacteria, innovative memristors combining synthetic DNA and semiconductor technology for ultra-low-power computing, and breakthrough nanolasers that promise to halve energy consumption in next-generation processors.

My podcast guest this week is VectorWave CTO and Founder, Dr. Ron Davis. Ron and I discuss the details of VectorWave’s neuromorphic analog compute platform, how it differs from traditional digital processing, and what it really means to build AI-native connectivity rather than simply adding AI features onto existing wireless systems. We also talk about the challenge of getting more bandwidth out...

My podcast guest this week is a powerhouse of the semiconductor industry: Ramune Nagisetty. Ramune, best known for developing the chiplet-based system-in-package architecture concept, joins me this week to discuss her foundational work on chiplet-based system-in-package architectures, the current reality of chiplet interoperability, and the role of artificial intelligence in semiconductor design...

My podcast guest this week Alex Ksendzovsky, co-founder of The Biological Computing Co. Alex and his team are doing something that sounds straight out of science fiction: they’re extracting computational principles from living neurons and translating them into software that runs on standard silicon. Alex and I chat about The Biological Computing Co. is bridging the gap between biological tissue...

My podcast guest this week is David Jedynak, Vice President of Strategic Planning at Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions. David and I chat about the complexities of "New Defense" innovation and what founders must understand about translating tech to the tactical environment. We also examine the similarities and differences between the defense sector and the tech industry at large and what investors...

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...

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...
