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.
Furthermore, the internet's development into high-demand applications is expected to increase power consumption, underscoring the relevance of Mr. Wingard's services in ensuring smooth operations across networked platforms.
Mr. Wingard has held several senior positions at Amphenol during his career. He started with the business in 1986 and advanced to director of engineering by 1999, overseeing the development of Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) and high-speed assemblies, which contributed to shaping data transmission standards. Mr. Wingard's technical skills and passion led him to establish Amphenol's Field Applications Engineering department, which expanded the company's reach and capabilities in serving different customer demands in aircraft, heavy equipment, and rail.
Aside from his career accomplishments, Mr. Wingard is heavily committed to his community. He is an ardent supporter of the Railroaders Memorial Museum in Altoona and the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, where he helps with current restoration initiatives. Mr. Wingard's passion also extends to his faith as a member of the Wesley Methodist Church.
Mr. Wingard's expertise in hardware solutions is becoming increasingly important as companies worldwide transition to renewable energy sources. With the worldwide effort to lessen reliance on fossil fuels and the expansion of electric vehicles (EVs), solar and wind energy systems need robust interconnect solutions that provide high-energy transmission with reliability. Mr. Wingard's team at Amphenol is developing to meet these expanding demands, creating connections and cable assemblies that provide smooth power delivery across industries.
Looking to the future, Mr. Wingard plans to retire in the next five years and move closer to his daughter. He hopes to spend his time traveling and volunteering.
