“The SUPREME Center of the JUMP 2.0 Program held its first Annual Review this week. Thank you to all the students, researchers, faculty members, and industry liaisons for a great event and inspiring start to this 5-year mission to tackle the challenges in developing the high-performance energy-efficient devices that are critically needed for the future needs of the world. The center is off to a strong start thanks to the leadership of Center Directors Huili (Grace) Xing and Tomas Palacios. The Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) Sponsors and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) sponsoring the research are excited for the future research results yet to come and the many talented students that are the workhorses behind the research in the center and that will help power the workforce of tomorrow” ~ Roman Caudillo
