Susana Bonnetier is a member of the FAMES Pilot Line management team and leads the Open Access effort with the goal of making « European-grown » advanced semiconductor technologies readily accessible to industry and academia.

An MIT engineer with a background in industry and research in the USA and France, Susana puts all her energy into transferring technological innovation to companies.

Born in Venezuela, Susana spent 9 years in the USA, where she completed her higher education and worked for General Electric Aircraft Engines, designing and building aircraft engines.

In 1991, Susana joined Saint-Gobain in France, first in the Industrial Strategy and Planning department working with 20 manufacturing plants to streamline and modernize their operations, and then at Saint-Gobain Cristaux et Détecteurs as Product and Industrial Market Manager, significantly increasing the profitability of a scintillation detectors product line.

In 2001, she moved to Grenoble, “the land of nano and micro technologies”, and reoriented her career towards the semiconductor industry. She joined Freescale as R&D Engineer and contributed to the successful development of the 65nm and 45nm CMOS technology nodes by the Crolles 2 Alliance.

In 2007, Susana joined CEA-Leti, first as head of a joint laboratory between Leti and a major French optics company, and later as Leti’s Carnot program manager, piloting a 14M€ R&D budget within Leti’s Scientific Directorate. During that time, she was VP of the Carnot Network and a member of its board of directors.

Susana brings a solid industrial and R&D experience to the FAMES Pilot Line project and the aim of contributing to the construction, in concert with the FAMES European Partners and the complementary Chips Act Pilot Lines, of a pan-European semiconductor ecosystem with the best Europe has to offer in microelectronics technologies.
