Shanghai's Fudan University Gains Top-Tier Talent
Shanghai's Fudan University is set to strengthen its semiconductor program with the appointment of Kong Long, a former Apple chip engineer. This is a part of China's ongoing endeavor to nurture local talent in the semiconductor industry.
Expertise in Integrated Circuits
Kong spent over seven years at Apple, contributing significantly to the development of radio frequency chips utilized in high-profile products such as the iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. His efforts will now pivot towards advancing radio frequency integrated circuit (IC) design and hybrid chip technologies.
- Kong was also a hardware engineer at Oracle, focusing on mixed-signal IC designs.
- He holds a PhD in electrical engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles.
- The appointment aligns with China's strategic goals amid increasingly stringent U.S. export policies.
Alongside Kong, another notable returnee is Wang Huanyu, who joined Huazhong University of Science and Technology recently. Their returns signify a growing trend among Chinese engineers coming back home to share their knowledge and adapt Chinese technology.
