In this issue we would like to introduce you to John Bultitude, Stephanie Watts Butler, and David Chen.
I have been developing materials for electronics and multilayer ceramic capacitors for > 30 years and hold 44 US Patents. I have a Ph.D. and B.Sc. in Chemistry from the University of Surrey, Guildford, UK a Currently I am leading a team of engineers and scientists at the Ceramic Innovation Center of KEMET in the development of multilayer ceramic capacitor-based products for power and high voltage applications. My association with PSMA began with presentations at 3D-PEIM 2016 and the PSMA Industry Packaging session at APEC 2017. Most recently I have been the Co-chair of the PSMA Packaging and Manufacturing Technical Committee with Brian Narveson and was the Technical Co-Chair of 3D-PEIM 2023 held in Miami Feb 1-3, 2023. As a Director on the PSMA Board I will support the development of more efficient power sources through the collaboration activities of the Association by expanding membership as well as coloration with other organizations such as IPC and i-NEMI. I believe these PSMA efforts are critical to meet the high efficiency energy conversion needed in the future.Provided by Dr. John Bultitude, Kemet Corporation 
Stephanie Watts Butler Stephanie Watts Butler, Ph.D., P.E. is the President of WattsButler LLC, an innovation services company focused on the semiconductor and nanotechnology industries. As a Technology Innovation Architect, Dr. Butler enables clients to innovate more efficiently, effectively, and profitably. During her 37 year career at Texas Instruments, her inclusive approach to innovation creation led to a broad range of profitable semiconductor products, manufacturing solutions, and enabling technologies, including: wide bandgap, high voltage, isolation, and advanced CMOS; process and packaging; Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems; Metrology; Advanced control and factory operation practices; standards; substrate and precursor materials; resulting in 17 patents. Dr. Butler has extensive experience in leadership roles in private-public partnerships, as well as joint development programs. She has chaired or co-chaired consortia technical advisory boards at PowerAmerica, IMEC, SEMATECH, SRC; served on university department advisory boards at the University of Texas at Austin, founded and led JEDEC Committees and IEC working groups. She has led several joint development projects with equipment and material suppliers, and other semiconductor companies. She serves on the APEC Conference committee, PSMA Board of Directors and Semiconductor committee, and has co-chaired/defined a PSMA APEC Session for several years. She is the past Chair and co-founder of JEDEC's JC-70 Committee for Wide Bandgap Power Electronic Conversion Semiconductors and the current Co-convenor of IEC's new TC47/WG8: Wide bandgap technologies. She is a Fellow of the AVS, and a Senior Member of IEEE, AIChE, and SWE. Dr. Butler is the IEEE Power Electronics Magazine Industrial Deputy Editor-in-Chief, an IEEE PELS Member-at-Large, Industry Committee Chair, PELS WIE member, a contributor to ITRW, and serves on IEEE's Industrial Engagement Committee Careers & Recognition Working Group.

Mr. David Chen Mr. David Chen joined Power Integrations in September 2015 as Director of Applications Engineering, where he leads an 80-person power electronics engineering team across three laboratories worldwide. With nearly thirty years of experience in power system design and applications, David has held senior management positions at both publicly traded and privately held companies, including Volterra (acquired by Maxim), Akros Silicon, and Jade Sky Technologies, an LED driver start-up which he co-founded. David received both his B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering and M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from MIT and is the author of two patents. As an energy efficiency advocate from the power semiconductor industry, David loves the interplay between technologies and regulations to better the world. Contributing actively as an industry stakeholder in workgroups, David collaborates with standards bodies on energy efficiency, safety, and compliance, providing technical guidance on standards and regulations from the California Energy Commission, U.S. Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency (ENERGY STAR®), European Commission (energy label and ecodesign), and China Quality Certification Center. For four years, David has served as co-chair for the Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA) Energy Management Committee and provides support for the PSMA Safety and Compliance Committee. He is also a member of the International Energy Agency 4E Electronic Devices and Networks Annex and Power Electronic Conversion and Technology Annex, the IEC TC47/SC47E committee for semiconductor devices, and JEDEC's JC-70 Wide Bandgap Power Electronic Conversion Semiconductors Committee. He plans to continue these interactions during his term as a Director on the Board . Provided by David Chen, Power Integrations |
