In episode 13 of the Let's Connect! Podcast, David Su, CEO And Cofounder at Atmosic Technologies, joins host Ken Briodagh to talk about how to lower power consumption, improve battery life, and what the future of battery technology might look like.  

David and Ken get into how IoT developers can make battery-powered devices more efficient, how important it is to make batteries last longer and store more power, reliably, and what the intermediate steps will be, including constant recharging via green energy sources. 

David Su brings to Atmosic over 30 years of engineering expertise with an extensive wireless background, as his past teams’ radio designs have brought billions of successful devices to market. He was on the early engineering team at Atheros, VP Analog/RF Engineering, and VP Engineering with Qualcomm following the 2011 acquisition of Atheros. David earned a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University and has been a Consulting Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford. David is an IEEE Fellow.
