Dr. Calvin Wang
Dr. Calvin Wang joined Qualcomm from Synaptics in November 2019. At Synaptics, Calvin assumed various executive leadership positions and drove multiple industry-first technology adoptions in mobile phones, including the first capacitive touchscreen for mobile phones, the first single chip touch/display driver IC (TDDI) for mobile LCDs, and the first in-display fingerprint sensor for OLED displays. Since joining Qualcomm as the VP/GM of the Ultrasound Fingerprint Product Line, Calvin has been focused on driving broader ecosystem adoptions of the ultrasound technology within both mobile and display industries. Under Calvin’s leadership, Qualcomm has significantly expanded its product offering and diversified customer base. Having worked on both capacitive and optical fingerprint technologies, Calvin is a firm believer of unique capabilities that the ultrasound technology enables for today’s mobile, PC and IoT devices.

Dr. Petros Mouratidis
Petros received his PhD in cancer cell biology from St. George’s Hospital Medical School University of London, where he investigated the cytotoxic effects of small molecules including thalidomide and vitamin analogues in pancreatic cancer. In 2013 he was recruited in the group of Prof Gail ter Haar to work on the biological effects of focused ultrasound on cancer. He investigated the activation of apoptosis and autophagy and has demonstrated that hyperthermia synergises with HSP90 inhibition to kill colon cancer cells. He contributed to the development of a biologically relevant “ultrasound dose” by showing that Arrhenius equations can predict the cell cytotoxic effects of high temperature rapid heating. Petros’s most recent focus has been the investigation of the immunological effects of focused ultrasound in in vivo pancreatic cancer models.
