From Biafra Soldier to IBM Scientist:
Meet the mind behind the tech inside your device.👨💻
From surviving the Biafran War to becoming an IBM scientist with more than 400 U.S. utility patents, Dr. Cyprian Emeka Uzoh shares the remarkable journey behind one of the most important engineering breakthroughs most people have never heard of.
During his time at IBM, Dr. Uzoh pioneered the critical electroplating process that allowed copper to replace aluminum in microchips, a breakthrough that fundamentally modernized global semiconductor manufacturing and paved the way for faster, modern computing.
An absolute titan in STEM. 👏
