Prior to co-founding ZES, Dr. Shu served as a Program Manager and Senior Research Scientist at Temasek Laboratories (Singapore), a leading national research institute.
There, he led and completed multiple high-impact research programs with a total value exceeding $10 million, several of which laid the foundation for the establishment of ZES.
Dr. Shu holds a Bachelor of Engineering and a Ph.D. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.
His technical expertise spans highly reliable electronics and integrated circuits for space applications, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), power management ICs, audio power amplifiers, high-speed data converters, and low-voltage, low-power analog ASICs for micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS).
Subject 1: Semiconductor Productor Design and Verification for Space and Mission- Critical Applications
Abstract:
Semiconductor ICs and SoCs have powered the explosive growth of modern technologies, from the internet and smartphones to today's AI revolution.
As humanity expands its presence beyond Earth, the next frontier of semiconductor innovation lies in satellites, lunar exploration, deep-Space missions, and autonomous Space systems.
At the same time, emerging applications such as AI infrastructure, robotics, UAV, autonomous vehicles, and advanced computing systems are driving new demands for performance, efficiency, and reliability.
However, these demanding applications introduce unique challenges that can significantly impact semiconductor reliability and system performance. In Space environments, radiation effects pose a major threat to electronic systems, while mission-critical applications require robust power management, fault tolerance, and long-term operational integrity. Addressing these challenges is essential to enabling the next generation of high-reliability technologies.
In this session, Zero-Error Systems (ZES) will share its vision and methodologies for radiation-hardened semiconductor design, verification, and system reliability.
The presentation will highlight ZES's portfolio of flight-proven and commercially available solutions, including LDAP, LCL, Voter Modules, ZSOM-M01, and ZSOM-F01, demonstrating how advanced semiconductor technologies are already supporting today's Space and satellite missions.
Beyond Space applications, ZES will also introduce its proprietary 48V single-stage DC-DC power conversion technology, developed to address the growing power efficiency challenges of AI infrastructure, robotics, drones, autonomous systems, and advanced computing platforms.
The session will provide insights into how innovative semiconductor architectures can improve system performance, power efficiency, and reliability across a broad range of demanding applications.
Attendees will gain a better understanding of the challenges associated with designing reliable electronic systems for harsh environments and learn how advanced semiconductor technologies can be applied to improve resilience, safety, and mission success in Space, satellite, aerospace, and mission-critical electronic systems.
Target Audience:
IC/SoC Design Engineers, System Architects, Reliability Engineers, AI & Edge Computing Developers, Space Technology Professionals, Engineering Managers, and Technical Decision Makers interested in building highly reliable and mission-critical electronic systems.
