In this Wine Down Friday, we chat with Reza Kazerounian, President and Co-Founder of Alif Semiconductor. Reza shares stories from his career at STMicroelectronics, Freescale, and Atmel, and the vision that inspired him to launch Alif Semiconductor. We talk about AI at the edge, the future of IoT, and advice for young engineers. He also reflects on resilience in tough times and why he’d love to share a glass of wine with Thomas Edison—an innovator who inspires his own out-of-the-box thinking. A conversation full of lessons, insights, and forward-looking perspectives on the semiconductor industry.
