Jane Fitzpatrick
Chief Executive Officer at The Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF)
Dr Jane Fitzpatrick is based in Brisbane, Australia.
As the CEO of this NCRIS-funded facility, Jane supports and fosters world-class research in Australia and the development of the industries, such as Defence, MedTech, Energy and Space. ANFF provides world class tools and expertise in the area of micro and nanofabrication on an open access framework to all of Australia for the research, development and commercialisation of technology. ANFF is made up of 21 institutions organised into eight nodes of expertise, coordinating open access to over 500 tools. The National office is tasked with maintaining the health and high levels of success across this distributed network.
Before her various roles within ANFF at the Node level and now with the National office, Jane previously held positions within academia, the MedTech start-up space and industry focussed research entities, as well as Board positions for Women in Technology.
Jane holds a PhD in Applied Immunology and a degree in Biotechnology, and she has added technical expertise in many areas, including micro and nanofabrication, throughout her career.

Holly Sawyer
Principal Engineer/ pathfinder expert at Intel (Oregon, USA)
Holly Sawyer is a Principal Engineer in the Manufacturing, Supply Chain and Operations group at Intel Corporation where she is considered an expert in first level interconnects. Her current focus is on the pathfinding, development and high-volume ramp of processes in support of Intel’s Next-Generation Packaging program. Holly joined Intel in 2004 as a senior process engineer in dry etch before becoming a core member of an assembly factory start-up team. She worked in assembly for 7 years in various roles before returning to the wafer fab in 2013 as a process integration engineer. Prior to Intel, Holly graduated with a B.S. in biochemistry from Harding University and a Ph.D. in chemistry from Texas A&M University, both in the United States of America.
