Location: virtual Zoom event
Cost: $0

At this session, Delphine Longrie, Sr. Process Engineer, Medtronic, will describe her career and how she moved from the semiconductor industry to the medical device industry.

Delphine Longrie is originally from Belgium where she obtained a Master’s in Engineering at the University of Ghent before deciding to pursue a PhD in Physics. Her thesis was on the design of reactors and processes to enable Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) on powders for battery and catalysis applications. After graduating she started working in the R&D division of ASM, a semiconductor equipment manufacturer, specializing in developing Selective ALD processes for metals and oxides. In November 2017 she transferred from ASM Belgium to ASM America and started working in Phoenix, still developing ALD processes, but this time the conventional, Non-Selective type. She made the move to become a Key Account Technologist, responsible for ASM’s success in the Memory market at customers in the US and Japan, before deciding in June of this year to leave the semiconductor industry and join Medtronic, a medical device maker. She is now working together with a team of engineers and chemists on a new generation of glucose sensors for Medtronic’s diabetes patients.
