(Phys.org)—Ken Shepard, a professor of electrical engineering, believes there is nowhere else in the world where he could do what he does. "Imagine a convergence of semiconductor technology and biotechnology. There is no company out there that has expertise in both," he says. "It takes a university to figure out how to put those two pieces together and create new technologies from this synergy."
