Indium Corporation’s Brian O’Leary, global head of e-Mobility and infrastructure, will participate in two panel discussions on the charging-related reliability challenges in the e-Mobility market at the Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Technology Expo (co-located with The Battery Show North America) from Sept. 13-15 in Novi, Michigan, US.
“The automotive industry is going through the biggest change its seen in decades and is being turned on its head,” O’Leary said. “From supply chain, regulators’ ability to keep up within areas including autonomy, to the very standards we use in manufacturing. I hope my upcoming participation, as well as the ongoing work of the IPC’s e-Mobility Quality & Reliability Advisory Group, sheds light on important reliability issues for the e-Mobility industry going forward.”
In the panel, Building Quality, Reliability & Safety for E-mobility – A Case for EVs and Charging on Wednesday, Sept. 14, O’Leary brings together expert members of the IPC’s e-Mobility council representing both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their suppliers. In this panel, they will discuss the challenges of building safe, high-quality, and reliable EVs and their chargers.
Panel members include O’Leary, who currently serves as the chair of the IPC’s e-Mobility council and helped organized its formation; Nello Li Pira, global R&I materials manager of CRF (Stellantis); Cory Bullis, senior public affairs manager, U.S. at FLO EV Charging; and Matt Kelly, chief technologist, IPC.
In his panel on Thursday, Sept. 15, O’Leary and guests will give attendees an overview of the state of public charging infrastructure in the U.S. In US Charging 2.0: Reviving Our Public Charging Infrastructure, they will discuss the country’s “failing grade” in charging. With a large number of non-functional chargers, market potential for EV adoption is slow and government regulation or intervention is imminent. However, a combination of improvements can dramatically drive performance, longevity, and reliability. He will be joined by Bullis; Brian Chislea, TS&D scientist at Dow Consumer Solutions; and Debbie Carboni, global product manager at KYZEN Corporation.
O’Leary is responsible for promoting Indium Corporation’s full range of products and services for e-Mobility, which include the markets for EVs, charging stations, and infrastructure, among others. He joined Indium Corporation in 2014 and has more than 20 years of experience in sales, marketing, and channel management in the electronics industry. He earned his master’s degree in international management at the Thunderbird School of Global Management at Arizona State University, Phoenix, AZ. He also co-authored two books on thermal profiling: Profiling Guide for Profitability and Profiling Guide for Six Sigma.

Indium Corporation senior area technical manager, Jason Chou, will present on low-temperature solders at SEMICON Taiwan’s TechXPOT on Thursday, Sept. 15, in Taipei, Taiwan.
In Lead-Free Low-Temperature Solder Paste for Drop Shock Critical Applications, Chou will focus on Durafuse™ LT, a patented low-temperature alloy system designed to provide high-reliability in low-temperature applications that require a reflow temperature below 210°C. The innovative material provides improved drop shock resilience, outclassing bismuth-tin (BiSn) or bismuth-tin-silver (BiSnAg) alloys, and performing better than SAC305 with optimum process setup. Durafuse™ LT is the only existing solution that ensures reliability with low-temperature requirements and is ideal for customers seeking low-temperature solder paste to address warpage issues, step soldering, and reduced energy consumption.
His Chinese-language presentation is scheduled for 10:10 a.m.–10:40 a.m. local time at booth #I2026, in the Innovative Technology and Product category. As senior area technical manager in Taiwan, Chou provides technical support to customers with a focus on the semiconductor industry. He has 10 years of industry experience, including specialization in front-end wafer fabrication processes, thin-film modules, and defect analysis for wafer metrology. Chou earned a master’s degree in Chemistry from National Tsing Hua University and a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from National Cheng Kung University. He served as the group leader for the National Nano Device Laboratory, Tainan, Taiwan, where he collaborated with university professors and industry professionals on special projects for semiconductor manufacturing.
