Allison Van Horn is a rising star in the semiconductor industry, currently serving as a Mechanical Engineer at Lam Research. A 2022 graduate of ����Ӱ��with double honors degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering, Van Horn has already made significant contributions to advanced technology development.

At Intel, she led the mechanical design for the company’s first fully integrated optical I/O chiplet—a breakthrough in AI computing—earning a Group Recognition Award and contributing to a patent filing. This optical I/O chiplet technology was showcased at major semiconductor conferences in 2024. In a separate project, her work delivered an estimated $7.3 million in cost savings for Intel’s data center CPU product line.

“This optical I/O chiplet innovation represents a major technological advancement in the AI computing space,” Van Horn said.

Now at Lam Research, she designs and tests hardware systems for the SABRE product, which enables copper deposition in semiconductor manufacturing.

Van Horn’s OSU experience was deeply formative.

“The College of Engineering at OSU is a place of innovation, collaboration, and connection. It cultivates engineers with a genuine sense of empathy, a respect for people from all walks of life, and a deep hunger for invention,” she said. “The support system and friendships I found within the halls of the College of Engineering were the greatest blessing I could have asked for.”
