Mani Janakiram, Intel Corporation
In 1997, SRC mounted a major new initiative in Factory Sciences that posed considerable challenges for forging an effective partnership among SRC, the National Science Foundation, and three competing teams of university researchers. Mani Janakiram stepped up and took charge of this difficult project. In his role as Industry Liaison, he described an overall vision for the proposed work, opened and developed lines of communication among the research teams and industry, and worked closely with selected graduate students. He worked tirelessly to bring the benefits of these interactions back to his company through workshops, recruiting additional liaisons, and encouraging participation of his company's fabs in the research process.
