UNIONDALE, NY / ACCESSWIRE / November 8, 2024 / Marquis Who's Who has honored Michael L. Wingard for his expertise in the field of engineering. Mr. Wingard is an experienced engineering specialist with over 30 years at Amphenol Global Interconnect Solutions, where he navigates the power and hardware needs of artificial intelligence and electrification. Mr. Wingard has a renowned career focused on creating hardware solutions that handle rising power requirements. He plays an important role in the ever-expanding infrastructure that supports AI and renewable energy breakthroughs.
Mr. Wingard received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania at Johnstown. Then, he earned an MBA specializing in manufacturing and marketing from Binghamton University. He is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the Open Compute Project, which helps him stay current on industry trends and breakthroughs.
Mr. Wingard has been the engineering manager of Amphenol's Field Applications Engineering since 2013. He is responsible for creating and executing hardware solutions to support high-power applications and complicated assemblies. In an era of rapidly evolving artificial intelligence, his team is dedicated to fulfilling the power needs associated with AI's integration across sectors.
Although Mr. Wingard is not directly involved in software development, his position is critical in providing the high-quality hardware solutions necessary to operate sophisticated AI applications.
Mr. Wingard's knowledge becomes even more vital as the globe shifts to more sustainable energy sources. The aim to minimize reliance on coal and oil while increasing solar and wind power means that firms like Amphenol are critical in designing and producing the connectors, assemblies, and interconnect solutions that will enable this transition.
