3:00 pm: April Research & Technology Forum


April 1, 2026

Register today for SyracuseCoE's April Research & Technology Forum, featuring a presentation from Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Professor Mo Hasanovic.

How Q-SUCCEED-CNY Connects Local Residents to Emerging Semiconductor and Quantum Career Opportunities

Central New York stands at the forefront of a technological revolution, with federal and state investments poised to create thousands of high-tech jobs in semiconductors, quantum technologies, and photonics. Join us to learn how these emerging industries are reshaping our regional economy and discover the career pathways available to local residents.

Presenter Moamer Hasanovic will introduce Q-SUCCEED-CNY (Quantum and Semiconductor Upskilling for Career Change through Experiential Education Deployment in Central New York), an NSF-funded initiative designed to help adult learners, career changers, and veterans explore opportunities in these high-demand fields through hands-on workshops, immersive bootcamps, and direct industry engagement—no prior technical background required.

Whether you're a business owner seeking to understand the regional workforce landscape, a community organization supporting career transitions, or a community member curious about high-tech career possibilities, this session will illuminate how our community can participate in and benefit from Central New York's transformation into a semiconductor and quantum technology hub.
