MicroLink Devices Inc., is proud to support the next generation of innovators at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign!

With support from MicroLink Devices and Crosslight, the class competed in two distinct project competitions: MicroLink Devices Best Project Award and the Crosslight Best Project Award.

This spring, students in the ECE 443 LEDs and Solar Cells course at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, The Grainger College of Engineering, rose to the challenge of solving real-world problems. From energy efficiency to advancements in health and communication, these students used their knowledge to design impactful projects around scalable energy conversion technologies.

🎓 It’s graduation season, and the University of North Dakota had an especially memorable ceremony this year! We’re thrilled to share that our very own President & CEO, Dr. Noren Pan, was awarded an honorary doctorate from UND in recognition of his outstanding contributions to science and engineering.
A Grand Forks native and co-founder of MicroLink Devices, Dr. Pan has led groundbreaking research in microwave and solar cell technologies—most recently advancing solar solutions for stratospheric flight. He also played a key role in establishing UND’s annual Stratospheric Operations and Research Symposium.

Join us in congratulating Dr. Pan on this well-deserved honor and his second PhD!

Registration is now open for the 2025 SOaRS Conference (April 24 & 25, 2025). MicroLink has supported this conference since its inception. This will be the 3rd annual conference, and this year it will be hosted by 3M at its corporate campus in St. Paul, Minnesota.

SOaRS aims to bring together lighter than air and heavier than air providers, enablers and customers that will help drive the rapid High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) and High Altitude Pseudo Satellite (HAPS) development.

Join us as the leaders in the emerging stratospheric industry gather to discuss challenges and opportunities, current and proposed platforms, payloads and power sources, and the latest success stories.

We look forward to seeing you there.
