Steven Woo
I was drawn to Rambus to focus on cutting edge computing technologies. Throughout my 15+ year career, I’ve helped invent, create and develop means of driving and extending performance in both hardware and software solutions. At Rambus, we are solving challenges that are completely new to the industry and occur as a response to deployments that are highly sophisticated and advanced.
As an inventor, I find myself approaching a challenge like a room filled with 100,000 pieces of a puzzle where it is my job to figure out how they all go together – without knowing what it is supposed to look like in the end. For me, the job of finishing the puzzle is as enjoyable as the actual process of coming up with a new, innovative solution.
For example, RDRAM®, our first mainstream memory architecture, implemented in hundreds of millions of consumer, computing and networking products from leading electronics companies including Cisco, Dell, Hitachi, HP, Intel, etc. We did a lot of novel things that required inventiveness – we pushed the envelope and created state of the art performance without making actual changes to the infrastructure.
I’m excited about the new opportunities as computing is becoming more and more pervasive in our everyday lives. With a world full of data, my job and my fellow inventors’ job will be to stay curious, maintain an inquisitive approach and create solutions that are technologically superior and that seamlessly intertwine with our daily lives.
After an inspiring work day at Rambus, I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors, swimming, and reading.

Eric Baissus
Eric spent 8 years at Texas Instruments where he led the development of various chip designs and reference solutions. In 2002, Eric founded and led Open-Plug as CEO and CTO, until its acquisition by Alcatel-Lucent in 2010. OpenPlug was a pioneer and a leader in the area of software framework for mobile phones, having products shipped in millions of devices and Fortune 100 customers such as Sony-Ericsson or Intel. After the acquisition of Open-Plug by Alcatel-Lucent, Eric Baissus became VP R&D and VP Innovation of Alcatel-Lucent Application Enablement and was located at Palo Alto USA. In 2014, Eric returned in Europe and joined Kalray, a French spin-off of CEA research lab, as CEO. In 4 years, he turned Kalray into the pioneer of intelligent processors. As a real technological breakthrough, “intelligent” processors have the capability to analyze on the fly, and in an intelligent manner, a very large amount of information, and make decisions and interact in real-time with the outside world. These intelligent processors will be extensively deployed in fast-growing sectors such as new-generation networks (intelligent data centers) and autonomous vehicles, as well as healthcare equipment, drones and robots. Kalray listed on Euronext Growth in June 2018, and raised around 44 Million Euros, the largest fund raising on Euronext Growth since its inception.
Passionate about new technologies and about turning high-tech innovation into business, Eric Baissus occupies several board positions. He graduated from Ecole Polytechnique (Paris France) and Ecole Nationale Superieure des Telecommunications (Paris France).
