Dr. Mayank Bulsara
Chief Technology Officer and Co–Founder of AmberWave Systems Corporation
Abstract
"AmberWave Systems: The Story if a MIT Entrepreneur"
Dr. Bulsara is a co–founder and the chief technology officer of AmberWave Systems, a company that is commercializing strained silicon technology originally developed at MIT. Immediately upon his graduation from MIT, Dr. Bulsara co–founded the company with MIT Professor Eugene Fitzgerald in June 1998. During his talk, Dr. Bulsara will describe AmberWave Systems' evolution from an early–stage startup, where the technology development moved from an academic environment to a commercial research and development environment, to a late–stage startup company, where AmberWave is now making wide scale introduction of its technology to the semiconductor industry. In particular, Dr. Bulsara will address how his role at AmberWave Systems has evolved along with the company and the challenges he has faced in his professional development over the past five years.
Biography
Mayank Bulsara is a co–founder and the Chief Technology Officer of AmberWave Systems Corporation (ASC) where he works with ASC's engineering teams to launch directions and plans for ASC's technology roadmap and coordinates with ASC's sales and marketing teams to establish and support strategic sales accounts. In addition, Dr. Bulsara drives and supports several aspects ASC's public relations and intellectual property development activities.
Since ASC's founding, Dr. Bulsara has worked on various projects and objectives that were essential in ASC's transition from a bootstrap style, embryonic startup company to a venture–backed, commercially viable semiconductor solutions provider. Some of the objectives that Dr. Bulsara has worked directly with include strategic planning, venture financing, infrastructure development, team recruiting and project definition/development, and procurement of government contracts.
Dr. Bulsara has two issued patents to his credit with several pending, and he has over twenty technical publications. His degrees include a B.S. in ceramic engineering from Rutgers University and a Ph.D. and S.M. from MIT's Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Working under the direction of Professor Eugene Fitzgerald, also a co–founder and Chairman of ASC, Dr. Bulsara's notable accomplishments at MIT include the establishment of epitaxy facilities for advanced III–V compound and SiGe–based semiconductor technology and groundbreaking research involving the characterization and integration of lattice–mismatched III–V compound materials on gallium arsenide (GaAs) and silicon substrates.
