• Building AI with a Conscience and Job match making

    Bldg: Madison Central Library, 201 West Mifflin Street, Room 302, Madison, Wisconsin, United States, 53703

    February is a month for matching up. At MadAI/IEEE our Feb theme is AI match making. We will have people looking for with in AI and have recruiters looking to recruit people in AI. We will also have a wonderful talk by Eric Moore (CIRIS Ethical AI) starting at 6PM and a followup match making after the talk starting at 7pm. Eric's talk abstract: What if AI agents could explain their decisions, recognize their own uncertainty, and ask humans for help when stakes are high? CIRIS is an open-source framework that makes this possible through runtime ethical evaluation, cryptographic audit trails, and mandatory human escalation pathways. This talk covers the architecture of "computational conscience" - how 10 constrained action verbs, three-layer ethical checks, and tamper-evident decision chains create AI systems that are transparent by design. Live demo included. Agenda: 6pm - talk by Eric Moore 7pm - Job search/ Match Making 8pm - Drinks at Pauls Club Bldg: Madison Central Library, 201 West Mifflin Street, Room 302, Madison, Wisconsin, United States, 53703

  • Radiation-hydrodynamics modeling & application to prediction of Inertial confinement fusion experiments

    Room: Johnson Rooms , Bldg: Lurie Eng. Cent., 1221 Beal Ave., Ann Arbor, Michigan, Michigan, United States, 48109-2122

    Radiation-hydrodynamics modeling & application to prediction of Inertial confinement fusion experiments NOTE: In Person Attendance Only! The xRAGE radiation-hydrodynamics code is a state-of-the art simulation tool for modeling inertial confinement fusion experiments. xRAGE is one of only three radiation-hydrodynamics codes developed in the U.S. with sufficient physics to credibly model both capsule implosions as well as the high-Z cylindrical hohlraums used to convert laser energy into an Xray drive for the capsule. xRAGE solves the equations for hydrodynamics and other physics in an Eulerian reference frame and features adaptive mesh refinement, which makes it uniquely well-suited to accurately modeling capsule defects and engineering features that are important factors limiting capsule performance. In the first half of this talk, we will discuss the physics modeling capabilities and algorithms available in xRAGE with an emphasis on those relevant to high-energydensity physics and inertial confinement fusion. In the second half of the talk, we will discuss the successful application of xRAGE to provide pre-shot predictions for seventeen high-yield capsule implosions on the National Ignition Facility. This will include the modeling methodology, how we establish prediction uncertainties, and how we have learned from prediction failures to improve the methodology. Our predictions have exhibited a 67% success rate thus far, which is much higher than other pre-shot predictions over the same set of experiments.

  • Smarter Manufacturing Enabled by Digital Simulation, Visualization, and Artificial Intelligence

    Room: Crystal Room, Bldg: Teibel's Restaurant, 1775 US-41, Schererville, Indiana, United States, 46375

    Computer simulation, visualization, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are becoming central to the digitalization of advanced manufacturing. Together, these technologies enable cutting-edge physics-based and data-driven tools such as digital twins for real-time decision-making, helping address critical challenges related to energy efficiency, productivity, quality, operational efficiency, maintenance, and beyond. These state-of-the-art tools can provide both fundamental insight and practical guidance for process design, troubleshooting, optimization, new process development and scale-up, as well as workforce development. Through partnerships with the steel industry and other manufacturing sectors, the Center for Innovation through Visualization and Simulation (CIVS) has developed and implemented advanced digital technologies that translate research into industrial impact. This talk will highlight key methodologies and selected project examples. Speaker(s): Dr. Chenn Q.

  • Documentary Night: Ludwig Boltzmann

    Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/535217

    []Ludwig Eduard Boltzmann (20 February 1844 – 5 September 1906) was an Austrian physicist and philosopher. His greatest achievements were the development of statistical mechanics, and the statistical explanation of the second law of thermodynamics. Statistical mechanics is one of the pillars of modern physics. It describes how macroscopic observations (such as temperature and pressure) are related to microscopic parameters that fluctuate around an average. It connects thermodynamic quantities (such as heat capacity) to microscopic behavior, whereas, in classical thermodynamics, the only available option would be to measure and tabulate such quantities for various materials. Ludwig Boltzmann's contributions to physics and philosophy have left a lasting impact on modern science. His pioneering work in statistical mechanics and thermodynamics laid the foundation for some of the most fundamental concepts in physics. In 1877 he provided the current definition of entropy, Max Planck named the constant kB the Boltzmann constant. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Planck) in quantizing resonators in his (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Body) theory of radiation used (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann%E2%80%99s_constant) to describe the entropy of the system to arrive at his formula in 1900. However, Boltzmann's work was not always readily accepted during his lifetime, and he faced opposition from some of his contemporaries, particularly in regards to the existence of atoms and molecules. Nevertheless, the validity and importance of his ideas were eventually recognized, and they have since become cornerstones of modern physics. Here, we delve into some aspects of Boltzmann's legacy and his influence on various areas of science. AFTER the documentary - we can have a brief discussion session. NOTE: You must supply your own soda pop and popcorn! :-) Trivia may also follow, so bring your Jeopardy hats too! Agenda: 7:00 PM - Welcome and Introductions, Chapter business update; (on your own) Pizza, Popcorn and Soda Pop 7:05 PM - Documentary 8:05 PM - End of Documentary; Start of Q & A; Group Discussion 8:15 PM - Wrap Up ALL times are in EST/EDT (UTC-4 or UTC-5) depending upon local day light savings times in when effect Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/535217

  • Officer Training 2026 (part 5 of 5)

    Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/530255

    In 2026 we will offer ‘Officer Training’ to our ‘newly’ elected AND veteran officers and volunteers; as well as any IEEE member, at any grade level or position. Our wish is to help all gain a fuller awareness of the communication and management skills used within the IEEE, how they function and how to employ them both as IEEE officers, and in your everyday work and life. Classes: As an introduction to these skills, we will offer a sequence set of VIRTUAL classes supported by study materials available through the (https://r4.ieee.org/sem/) and the (https://ieee.learningpool.com/) The virtual classes will begin in the 2nd week of JANUARY 2026 and conclude end of FEBRUARY. Each class will be conducted as an overview of the topic ‘de jour’ and a discussion or Q&A session to answer questions and clarify issues. (See the agenda below:) Note: Space for these classes is not like outer space, it is limited, so you must register to receive the necessary codes and passwords to attend.
