Dr. Rui Ma, mmWave PA Systems Director, pSemi/Murata
I AM ...a Leader in mmWave and RF Innovation, driving tomorrow’s connected world
What made you want to work in this industry?
My interest in the RF and microwave industry stems from my passion for solving complex problems and innovating in areas that have real-world impacts. I was particularly drawn to this field during my early career when I worked on power amplifier technologies for wideband radio systems. This led me to positions where I could drive innovation, such as my time at Mitsubishi Electric and later as a Visiting Scientist at MIT, where I contributed to GaN HEMT development and Digital Transmitter and Array. The opportunity to push the boundaries of technology, especially in mmWave and RF systems, has been a constant source of inspiration for me
What is your favorite part of your job?
At pSemi, I lead a talented team of engineers in developing cutting-edge RF/mmWave systems that drive the future of connected technologies. The best part of my job is collaborating with bright minds across industries and academies and pushing the envelope on what’s possible with semiconductor integration. Seeing our innovations—like our award-winning UltraCMOS® technology—transform industries such as 5G, automotive, and IoT is incredibly rewarding
What are you most excited about for IMS2025?
I’m excited to see the latest advancements in RF and microwave technology, particularly for 6G. IMS is a great platform for exchanging ideas, and I look forward to collaborating with peers to solve the next set of challenges. It’s also a chance to showcase the solutions we’ve developed at pSemi, which are enabling future-proof designs across multiple industries
