Chinese semiconductor engineer Xu Zhenpeng says he left US to find freedom
AI Summary
Semiconductor engineer Xu Zhenpeng left his leadership role at US-based Atomic Semi to become a professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in January. Xu cited increasingly strict US policies and corporate compliance requirements that limited his international mobility and research development as reasons for his departure. He was leading a team developing a new type of chipmaking machine using 3D-printed parts. Xu stated his return to China was motivated by long-term academic goals, a desire for a more independent research environment, and China's rapidly evolving advanced manufacturing research ecosystem. He did not specify the exact compliance rules but noted they are typically designed to ensure companies follow government restrictions.
