Center for Intelligent Silicon Preview
A First Look at the Center for Intelligent Silicon: Shaping the Next Generation of Chips
Friday, November 13, 2026
We invite you to join the University of Washington Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering for an exclusive preview of the new Center for Intelligent Silicon.
The Center for Intelligent Silicon is a hub for collaboration across the future of integrated systems (chips), which will play a crucial role in the development of artificial intelligence, new medical devices, quantum computers, and a vast range of other technologies. This event aims to showcase innovation and bring together researchers, students, and partners as we shape the next generation of chips.
You’ll have the opportunity to learn about the Center’s emerging work through faculty research presentations, our student showcase, and lab tours. This preview will also be an opportunity to collaborate with others in the field and provide feedback on the Center. We welcome your ideas, perspectives, and curiosity as we continue to grow the Center because we believe the future of chips will be built together.
