She is head of Packaging & Systems Technology for Intel, and president of the International Microelectronics and Packaging Society.
==Education and career== Keser is originally from Rochester, New York; where many of her childhood friends were children of engineers.{{r|lateral|techie}} She focused on materials science{{r|techie}} as an undergraduate at Cornell University, graduating in 1993,{{r|spectrum}} and earned a Ph.D. in 1997 from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.{{r|spectrum}}
After postdoctoral work in a research and development laboratory,{{r|lateral}} she worked on advanced electronic packaging at Motorola for twelve years.{{r|uiuc}} In 2009,{{r|spectrum}} she became the leader of the Fan-Out and Fan-In Wafer Level Packaging Technology Development and NPI Group for Qualcomm,{{r|uiuc}} before moving to her present position at Intel. Dr. Keser left Intel in 2023 and is currently the VP of Manufacturing at Zero ASIC. {{r|lateral}}
She was elected as president of the International Microelectronics and Packaging Society for the 2021–2023 term.{{r|imaps}}
==Recognition== Keser is a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Electronics Packaging Society for 2020–2024.{{r|eps}} She was named an IEEE Fellow, in the 2020 class of fellows, "for contributions to electronic packaging technologies".{{r|if}} In 2021, she received the Exceptional Technical Achievement Award of the IEEE Electronics Packaging Society, with Tanja Braun, "for seminal contributions and leadership in Fan-out Wafer Level Packaging".{{r|eta}}
She was also one of five winners in a 2015 scriptwriting competition seeking pitches for a television show about a woman engineer, the only engineer to win.{{r|spectrum}}
