Bio
Erica McGill
Aaron is a highly skilled writer with a strong technical understanding of the global semiconductor industry. He is personable and a pleasure to work with. Aaron’s articles are well balanced and fair. He excels at finding the latest innovations of interest to his tech-savvy readers as well as taking complex technical information and translating it to something that is more suitable for target audiences.
Ken Rygler
Aaron was one of the best editors I've encountered in microelectronics. I say this based on his understanding of the industry, both technically and commercially, which enables him to frame the right questions in which readers would be interested. He is also interested in gathering facts, and seeking the "why" behind the "what" to gain the additional insights others dont. I always found his articles on my field accruate and his articles outside my field informative and instructive.
