Host: Raymond Yin Mouser Director of Technical Content

For over a decade, Raymond Yin has worked at Mouser as its resident Director of Technical Content. During his tenure, he has collaborated with many manufacturer brands, industry leaders and technology experts to develop the latest content on technology and applications. Managing and expanding Mouser's portfolio of content for new product introductions and technology trends, Raymond stays immersed in the electronic component industry and well-versed in the latest industry developments impacting Mouser's customers.

Earning his Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Southern Methodist University in 1986, Raymond's 20 plus years in the electronics distribution industry, and 7 years as a design engineer, has given him a deep understanding of the capabilities of the latest components as well as the companies that produce them.

Guest: Daniel Gottesman Brin Family Professor of Theoretical Computer Science, Co-director | UMD, Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science

Daniel Gottesman

Daniel Gottesman is the Brin Family Endowed Professor in Theoretical Computer Science at the University of Maryland. He is a co-director of QuICS, the Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science. He received his Ph.D. from Caltech in 1997 and did postdocs at Los Alamos National Lab, Microsoft Research, and UC Berkeley (where he was a Long-Term CMI Prize Fellow funded by the Clay Mathematics Institute). He then spent 19 years as a faculty member at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario before moving to Maryland. Daniel Gottesman was named to the MIT Technology Review's TR100: Top Young Innovators for 2003 and is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
