Velocix promotes Berkeley to CEO

Posted on February 18, 2021 by - Moving People

Video provider Velocix has promoted Anthony Berkeley to be its CEO.

Berkeley was most recently Chief Operating Officer at Velocix, and he has previously held senior leadership roles in sales, product, and professional services during his 11-year tenure with the company. Prior to Velocix, he held senior positions at Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia.

David Sharpley, Group Leader at Lumine Group, Velocix’s parent company, said: “Anthony is ideally-suited to drive Velocix’s continued expansion, with his deep domain expertise in the video technology market and proven track record of driving profitable revenue growth. With an expanding base of top tier customers and strong market momentum, Velocix is well-positioned to build on its success in 2021 and beyond.”

Organic semiconductor problem solved

Screen Shot 2015-01-19 at 14.47.29Scientists at Berkeley National Laboratory claim to have solved a problem associated with organic semiconductors.
Organic semiconductors include light emitting diodes (LEDs), field effect transistors (FETs) and photovoltaic cells used in solar panels.
Researchers know that performance problems occur within organic semiconductor thin films but were unsure of the cause.
Now they appear to have figured it out, using a type of microscopy to study interfaces in a solution organic semiconductor.
Naomi Ginsberg at Berkeley and her colleagues said that random nanocristallites get trapped in the interface during solution casting, hindering charge carriers “a bit like debris on a motorway”.
The methodology will help manufacturers to predict affordable solution processing and maximise charge carrier mobility.
The end result will be better performance of products based on organic semiconductor processes.
