ALBANY — Michael Irene has traveled to South Korea, Taiwan, Ireland and all over the United States working in the semiconductor industry.
But recently, Irene chose the Capital Region as his home to take on the role of program manager at NY Creates, the nonprofit that operates Albany NanoTech, where he will be focusing on work related to extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light. His first day aligned with the opening ceremony of the $1 billion National Semiconductor Technology Center Lab earlier this month.
It’s more of a homecoming for Irene, who grew up in Windsor and had his first job in the semiconductor industry at the NY Creates facility in 2011. With evolving opportunities within upstate New York’s semiconductor industry, Irene said that “Albany is a hidden gem.”
