Silicon has been the dominant material for electronic computing for decades and very likely will stay dominant for the foreseeable future. However, it is well-known that Moore’s law and Dennard’s scaling that propelled Silicon into this dominant position are long dead. Therefore, a fervent search for (i) new semiconductors that could directly replace silicon or (ii) new architectures with novel materials/devices added onto silicon or (iii) new physics/state-variables or a combination of above has been the subject of much of the electronic materials and devices research of the past 2 decades. In short, there is a pressing need for complementing and supplementing Silicon to operate with greater energy efficiency, speed and handle greater amounts of data. This is further necessary since a completely novel and paradigm changing computing platform (e.g. all optical computing or quantum computing) remains out of reach for now. The above is, however, not possible without fundamental innovation in new electronic materials and devices. Therefore, in this talk, I will try to make the case of how novel layered two-dimensional (2D) chalcogenide materials1 and three-dimensional (3D) nitride materials might present interesting avenues to overcome some of the limitations being faced by Silicon (as well as Silicon Carbide) hardware. I will end the talk with a broad perspective on the role of novel materials that could turbo-charge silicon, silicon carbide and other pervasive semiconductor technologies for electronic computing.

Children today are growing up in a world where digital interactions begin before they fully understand risk. From sharing passwords to engaging with unknown platforms, most online behaviors are learned informally and often too late, after mistakes are made. This talk challenges the traditional approach to cybersecurity education, which focuses primarily on professionals and reactive awareness. Instead, it introduces the idea of building digital citizens early by equipping children with the mindset, habits, and decision-making skills needed to navigate the digital world safely and responsibly. Drawing from real-world cybersecurity experience and insights from building DigiArmorX, Nidhi will explore how risk-based thinking can be simplified for young learners through storytelling, behavioral cues, and adaptive learning. She will highlight gaps in current education systems, the role of parents and schools, and how technology, especially AI, can personalize cybersecurity learning at scale. The session leaves audiences with a clear takeaway. Cybersecurity is not just a technical discipline. It is a life skill, and the earlier we start, the safer our digital future becomes. Speaker(s): Nidhi, Agenda: - 7:00 PM – 7:05 PM | Welcome and Opening Remarks - 7:05 PM – 7:50 PM | Technical Talk: Building Digital Citizens: Cybersecurity as a Life Skill for Children Speaker: Nidhi Srivastava - 7:50 PM – 8:00 PM | Q&A and Discussion Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/558274
