IEEE-USA’s (https://ieeeusa.org/public-policy/cvd/) is an annual event that brings engineers, scientists, mathematicians, researchers, educators, and technology executives to Washington to raise visibility of and support for engineering and technology. IEEE-USA's CVD will be held in-person in 2024, with all meetings coordinated by Soapbox Consulting. This premier event is open to all IEEE members in the United States, especially those who support federal STEM research. The program consists of a series of briefings and meetings, culminating with a full day of visits with your Congressional delegates. Visit https://ieeeusa.org/public-policy/cvd/ for more details and to register. 2001 L Street, NW, Suite 700, Washington, District of Columbia, United States, 20036

[]Prof. Shlomi Dolev, Executive Director of the BGU-Negev Hi-Tech Faculty Startup Accelerator, will present on Post Quantum Internet.The need for a post-quantum Internet is emerging, and this is a great opportunity to re-examine the legacy of public key infrastructure. There is a need for perspective on the evolution of cryptography over the years, including the perfect information-theoretical secure schemes and the computationally secure schemes, in particular. There is also a need to examine the evolving Internet infrastructure to identify efficient design and secure cryptographic schemes over the existing Internet infrastructure. A combination of overlay security, blockchain, and Merkle trees with Lamport’s signatures offers just such an easily implementable post-quantum Internet over the existing Internet. The talk will cover recent research that resulted in start-ups creation initiatives, including Secret Double Octopus, SecretSkyDB, SodsBC.Speaker(s): Prof. Shlomi Dolev, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/414083

The automotive industry, for instance, uses semi-active and active suspension systems to recover part of the vibration in the suspension and convert it into electrical energy. This presentation will focus on the discrete and integrated vibration interface circuits used to interface to vibration harvesters. This includes patented circuits developed in 180nm Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) to harvest from low voltage, low current vibration harvester outputs. Applications for vibration harvesting such as bridge-based harvesting, animal-based harvesting, and human-based harvesting will be explored as well as the challenges in the commercialization of vibration energy harvesting systems will be discussed. [] Co-sponsored by: Waterloo Technical Society Speaker(s): James McCullagh, Agenda: 5:30 PM Social 6:00 PM Dinner 7:15 PM Presentation Dinner Reservations: Email to [email protected] (preferred) Please make reservations by 11:00 am, Monday April 8, 2024.
