Sasha Ishmael, Principal Engineer, Technology and Industry Solutions, Veir
Dr. Sasha Ishmael is Principal Engineer, Technology & Industry Solutions at VEIR Inc., where she leads technical commercialization of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) power delivery systems for next-generation data center infrastructure. VEIR's HTS systems deliver up to 20x cross-sectional area reduction and significant weight savings over conventional copper at high current ratings, enabling dense, high-capacity distribution where conventional approaches reach their limits. With nearly two decades of experience in superconducting systems, power delivery, and applied materials science, Dr. Ishmael translates deep technical expertise into infrastructure market strategy and customer-facing deployment. She has been a panelist at IEEE international conferences on applied superconductivity, with contributions on HTS technology's role in the global energy transition. Her current focus is enabling high-capacity, space-efficient, scalable power solutions for AI data centers, translating field-proven superconducting power delivery into deployable, mission-critical infrastructure. Dr. Ishmael holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Florida Institute of Technology and completed postdoctoral research in Materials Science and Engineering at NC State University.
