In her current role at IBM, Dr. Kane serves as a strategist for metrology, targeting new and novel measurements for future semiconductor technology nodes. She is a program manager for joint development agreements across metrology companies, helping to advance metrology infrastructure for industry.
A life member of the Society of Women Engineers, Dr. Kane has been a leader in the Society by participating at all levels, including her term as FY19 collegiate director, when she advocated for collegiates during SWE’s governance transitions and chartered the collegiate engagement task force to guide the revitalization of collegiate leadership programs.
