Brant together with Sidero Labs Head of Developer Relations, Jusin Garrison, will talk about Kubernetes and container orchestration outside of the big cloud providers. In particular, Brant will talk about decisions his company has made and still have to make in hosting Kubernetes workloads locally. Speaker(s): Justin, Brant Agenda: Justin: What's Talos and Omni and their relationship to each other and to Kubernetes? Brant: In practice/example: How we set up our clusters and automated their setup and maintenance. Brant: Gaps we still have to figure out and what's been tried or researched. - Log aggregation - Security monitoring - Storage - Service exposure Justin: Places where Talos/Omni plans might serve us such as the managed control plane plan. Alternate choices for what we've done. Q&A if any Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/515673

Turning a groundbreaking innovation into a venture-backed enterprise requires more than just technical brilliance—it demands strategic insight into how capital markets work. In this interactive webinar, Dr. Brien C. Walton—Chairman of the Maine Venture Fund and a national advocate for inclusive innovation—will demystify the venture capital process for engineers, scientists, and technical founders. Drawing from real-world examples and public-private collaborations, Dr. Walton will explain what investors look for beyond the patent, how to build a fundable startup around a technical solution, and why many promising innovations struggle to attract capital. Attendees will gain actionable tools to assess their own capital readiness, understand risk from an investor’s perspective, and learn how to position their work for scalable impact. Whether you are preparing for your first pitch or looking to translate lab work into a startup, this session offers a practical roadmap from prototype to portfolio. Speaker(s): Dr. Brien Walton Agenda: IEEE-USA's free webinars/events are designed to help you find your next job, maintain your career, negotiate an appropriate salary, understand ethical considerations in the workplace and learn about other career-building strategies and public policy developments that affect your profession.

Histotripsy is a method of non-invasive ultrasonic surgery using very intense pulses of focused ultrasound to mechanically fracture tissue. As of July 2025, histotripsy systems have been installed at more than 50 medical centers worldwide for ablation of liver tumors. This talk summarizes the approximately 25 year process of translating the physical mechanism of ultrasonically generated cavitation to a clinical product. I will also highlight a number of the substantial challenges faced by academics attempting to pursue scientific research translation, a large number of mistakes, and a few lucky breaks that lead to our success. This presentation is a virtual event hosted by the Engineering Medicine and Biology Chapter of SE Michigan IEEE Section Speaker(s): Timothy Hall, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/515293

Join us for our monthly executive committee meeting from 5 - 6:30 pm. This is a great opportunity to meet like minded people, learn leadership skills, and to help steer the direction of your local IEEE chapter.

The technology we use, and rely on, in our everyday lives–including computers, radios, video devices, cell phones, smart connected devices and more–is enabled by signal processing, a branch of electrical engineering that models and analyzes data representations of physical events as well as data generated across multiple disciplines. Hence, signal processing is at the heart of our modern world. It’s at the intersection of biotechnology, entertainment, and social interactions. It enhances our ability to communicate and share information. Signal processing is the science behind our digital lives. This is a 2 hour overview of this subject - inspired by a similar effort done in past years called "Introduction to Embedded Systems" by the Computer Society chapter of SE Michigan, aimed at students of all STEM disciplines but whose prime areas were not embedded systems. The idea is to share and gain appreciation for the topic. Speaker(s): Sharan Kalwani, Agenda: 4pm start 6pm end Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/514171

Information theory is the mathematical study of the quantification, storage, and communication of information. The field was established and formalized by Claude Shannon in the 1940s, though early contributions were made in the 1920s through the works of Harry Nyquist and Ralph Hartley. It is at the intersection of electronic engineering, mathematics, statistics, computer science, neurobiology, physics, and electrical engineering This is a 2 hour overview of this subject - inspired by a similar effort done in past years called "Introduction to Embedded Systems" by the Computer Society chapter of SE Michigan, aimed at students of all STEM disciplines but whose prime areas were not embedded systems.
