 and to the joining us from around the world. Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening. We're here in Santa Clara, a few of us, respecting all the protocol of the safety for all our employees. My name is Sergio Villotta. I'm the site manager of Santa Clara ST site. I'm here today with Paul Sayak, our executive vice president of a sales and marketing in Army region. Today, we want to welcome all of you to a very special event. There is perhaps a bit unusual for our ST office. We have invited a very special guest. ST Americas is honored to welcome Federico Faggin, a pioneer in the semiconductor industry and long-time Silicon Valley resident. Federico started his career at Olivetti first and then joined ST micro electronics in Agrate. He has made enormous contribution to the semiconductor industry, beginning as an engineer with his development of the first metal oxide semiconductor silicon gate technology. A fair child, he invented the self-aligning metal oxide semiconductor process technology and buried contacts. Techniques that are both widely used today. Federico, from his time at Intel, invented the first microprocessor, the 4004, which then later developed also the 8080. Of course, as many people here in the valley, that was not enough for him. He started his own company, Xilog, and later he started also Synaptics, another company founded by him. He also served as a president and CEO of Fovion, a company that made image sensors. His efforts have been recognized and rewarded with many awards around the world. The Kyoto Prize, Japan I guess private award for Lifetime Achievement in the Arts and Sciences and the National Medal of Technology, the US highest honor of technological achievement. He's also the recipient of the Wallace McDowell Award for outstanding contribution from the IEEE Computer Society, the International Marconi Fellowship Award, the Gold Medal for Science and Technology from Italy and the European Inventor Lifetime Achievement Award and many, many others. As arguably, he's the father of more secret processes. Federico is here today to share his own experience. And he compiled and he written this book, Silicon, in which he just tell us his life and his journey through the fair phases of his life from his childhood in a very small town in Italy through his life as an inventor and designer to a successful entrepreneurial efforts and now to his devoted to studying the mysteries of consciousness, where he's again creating new models and explanation that are breaking new grounds. So thank you for being with us, Federico. It's a great honor. And I let Paul now drive our Q&A session with Federico. Know more about his journey and his new ventures. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Sergio.
