A delegation of students, researchers, and faculty from MIT visited Analog Devices, Inc. in Wilmington, MA on June 1 for a day of talks culminating in a tour of Analog's fabrication facilities.
The talks began with an overview of Analog Devices presented by Dave Robertson, Director of HCG and a fellow at Analog Devices. The rest of the day's talks were dominated by the MIT visitors, beginning with an introduction from MTL Director Jesús del Alamo and continuing all day. The day's schedule is shared below.
