This week’s Fish Fry podcast is all about digital signal processing! Pulin Desai (Cadence Design Systems) joins me to chat about recent developments in vision, radar and lidar applications, AI inference trends that are driving the need for flexible and programmable digital signal processing, and why DSPs are indispensable in the new world of artificial intelligence. Also this week, I check out a new PCB prototype developed at the University of Washington that is almost completely recyclable. (Spoiler Alert: It can turn into jelly!)

Low Earth Orbit satellite communication takes center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! Mike McLernon from MathWorks joins me to chat all about the advantages of Low Earth Orbit satellites versus traditional Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites, the challenges of this kind of satellite technology, and the tools and practices that engineers can use to overcome these challenges. Also this week, I investigate new research from the University of Helsinki that contends that we can accurately predict LEO satellite movement with the help of weather models.

My podcast guest this week is Tim Stewart, Director of Business Development at Aitech. Tim and I investigate how AI is enabling decision superiority, the details of the OODA Loop, and the role that project convergence will play in the future of battlefield technologies. (We also talk about Tim’s Titanic lego project!) Keeping with our military theme, I also check out a new autonomous submarine developed by the Australian government called the Ghost Shark!
