IEEE Madison’s November 7th 3 pm tour is at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery’s Saha Lab where they use CRISPR technology for addressing inherited retinal disorders. We’ll tour the lab, see a CRISPR machine and see how the output is used. Welcome to the CRISPR Vision Program at the University of Wisconsin- Madison! UW – Madison is a part of the Somatic Cell Genome Editing (SCGE) Consortium funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We're innovating non-viral gene editing therapies for inherited retinal disorders. Our work aims to bring the groundbreaking potential of CRISPR technology to those affected by these diseases. The labs focus lies in overcoming the limitations of existing viral delivery systems and introducing novel, non-viral treatments for inherited eye diseases, particularly those affecting the retinal pigment epithelium. As a part of the SCGE Consortium, the lab is working in a community dedicated to developing safe and effective gene editing methods to treat genetic diseases in somatic cells.

Welcome to the 6th Joint Annual Meeting of the IEEE Magnetics Society, Chicago Chapter and South East Michigan (SEM) Chapter and IEEE Nanotechnology Council Chicago Chapters, to be held in a hybrid form (in-person plus on Zoom) with in-person venue at Northwestern University on Friday, November 15, 2024. The meeting will provide free breakfast & lunch and face-to-face interaction with the local Chicago researchers in Magnetics and Nanotechnology as well as researchers from Michigan! The meeting will convene local and international academics, professionals and students with broad interests in magnetics and nanotechnology. The meeting will provide a forum for highlighting the latest advances in magnetism, spintronics, nanotechnology, and nanoelectronics, and will provide opportunities to facilitate networking and collaboration. Highlights: This year the joint IEEE Annual Meeting will be an inter-chapter in-person event between IEEE MagSoc Chicago and SEM Chapters to promote cross-state interaction and collaboration. We have also invited an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer (Prof. Sanjukta Bhanja from University of South Florida) to give an in-person presentation about nanotechnology. In addition, we have also invited an industry speaker (Dr. Vikas Nandwana from NFNS) to give an in-person presentation about application of nanotechnology. Breakfast, lunch and coffee will be provided. Please register for the event in order to count for food orders. There are no Registration Fees, but registration is required.

Title: The Path to Artificial General Intelligence During the past decade there has been remarkable progress in artificial intelligence. More recently, Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) driven disruption marked a significant milestone in cognitive pattern understanding and generation across speech, natural language, image and vision modalities. These improvements have been seamlessly integrated into numerous systems and products, reaching hundreds of millions of users worldwide. Consequently, discussions surrounding the attainment of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) have transitioned from theoretical speculation to a tangible reality. In this lecture, Dr. Ruhi Sarikaya will explore the driving forces behind the GenAI revolution and how they are shaping the path toward AGI in the coming decade. Specifically, the challenges and recent progress will be reviewed in the conversational and ambient intelligence field, focusing on how users engage with these systems in increasingly personalized and rich context—such as short- and long-term discourse, spatial awareness, temporal factors, device types, and input/output modalities. Additionally, Dr. Ruhi Sarikaya will share his perspective on navigating this exciting journey toward a future, where AI systems not only catch up to but potentially exceed human performance in sensory input understanding and cognition. Speaker(s): Dr. Ruhi Sarikaya Agenda: 12:00 – 12:05 p.m (CST). Welcome Remarks by Dr. Wenyu Jin 12:05 – 01:00 p.m (CST).
