said Vincent Roche, president and CEO, Analog Devices. "ADI has close
ties to the MIT community, and we're honored and excited to sponsor this
unique initiative. Given Analog Devices' passion for offering innovative

lives, sponsoring Solve is a perfect fit for us."
The Solve program will investigate challenges in each of the four
content pillars: Learn, Cure, Fuel,
