[]23 March 1912: Wernher Von Braun is born. He was a German-born American aerospace engineer and space architect, and initially worked in Nazi Germany's rocket development program as a young man. After World War II, he moved to the United States where he became a pioneer of rocket and space technology in the nation. In his later career, he became director of the newly formed Marshall Space Flight Center. AFTER the documentary - we can have a brief discussion session.

Physical AI at the Edge: Autonomous Drones, Embedded Vision, and Hardware-Optimized Learning Edge AI is redefining how intelligent systems operate in real-world, bandwidth-limited, and safety-critical environments. Rather than relying on centralized cloud infrastructure, next-generation autonomous platforms demand low-latency, energy-efficient, and hardware-aware intelligence deployed directly at the edge. This guest lecture presents a systems-level perspective on designing edge-native AI architectures spanning three converging domains: autonomous drone platforms, embedded computer vision, and lightweight large language models (LLMs). We will examine how drone autonomy benefits from onboard perception-action loops, real-time multi-modal sensing, and closed-loop control frameworks that operate without persistent cloud connectivity. The talk further explores edge-optimized vision pipelines for agricultural and environmental monitoring, including model compression, quantization, spectral-RGB fusion, and real-time deployment on resource-constrained hardware such as Jetson, FPGA, and heterogeneous SoCs. Finally, we discuss the emerging role of LLMs in physical AI systems, not as chat interfaces, but as structured reasoning engines integrated with robotic sensing and decision pipelines. Hardware-aware optimization strategies, including pruning, mixed-precision inference, memory- latency tradeoffs, and accelerator-centric design, will be highlighted as key enablers of scalable deployment. This invited talk concludes by outlining a unifying design framework for building autonomous, interpretable, and deployable edge intelligence systems across agriculture, environmental monitoring, and cyber-physical domains. All are welcome! You do not need to be a member to attend. If you are interested and unable to attend, please register and a recording will be sent out after the event.

Interested in becoming a senior member join us for this event Online interviews will be scheduled for members wishing to elevate by current Senior Members where the Seniors can get to know the candidates in order to act as references for your application. Senior Member Reviewers will assist interested member candidates with at least 10 years of experience in their profession. To sign up for "Review" Time Slot, please register for this event, send an electronic copy of your resume, and relevant supporting materials (list of papers published, standards work done, patents, senior/leadership positions, etc.) to [email protected] at least two week (March 4th, 2026) before the event. You may not be invited to the event if you do not submit needed documents. IEEE membership enhances every stage of your career. Whether you are an established professional or just starting out, IEEE membership identifies you as superior talent. Advancing your member grade can bring added peer recognition to your accomplishments and shows your employer your desire to improve your technical and leadership skills. Senior Membership is encouraged because it is required, in most cases, for key volunteer positions at the IEEE. Benefit of being a Senior Member As an IEEE Senior member, you receive the following benefits: - Recognition: The professional recognition of your peers for technical and professional excellence. - Leadership Eligibility: Senior members are eligible to hold executive IEEE volunteer positions. - Ability to refer other candidates: Senior members can serve as a reference for other applicants for Senior Membership. - Review panel: Senior members are invited to be on the panel to review Senior member applications. - Letter of commendation: A letter of commendation on the achievement of Senior member grade will be sent to your employer (upon your request). The advancement to Senior Member provides the IEEE members with significant and distinct benefits. These benefits include the eligibility to hold Executive IEEE Volunteer Positions and getting recognition of your peers for technical and professional excellence. Newly elevated senior members will also receive an engraved senior member plaque from IEEE. Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/532718

His research group develops nm and THz transistors, and high-frequency integrated circuits and systems. Prof. Rodwell received the 2010 IEEE Sarnoff Award, the 2012 Marconi Prize Paper Award, the 1997 IEEE Microwave Prize, the 2009 IEEE IPRM Conference Award, and the 1998 European Microwave Conference Microwave Prize. Abstract We describe the opportunities, and the research challenges, presented in the development of 100-300GHz wireless communications and imaging systems. In such links, short wavelengths permit massive spatial multiplexing both for network nodes and point-point links, permitting aggregate transmission capacities approaching 1Tb/s. 100-300GHz radar imaging systems can provide thousands of image pixels and sub-degree angular resolution from small apertures, supporting foul-weather driving and aviation. Challenges include the mm-wave IC designs, the physical design of the front-end modules, the complexity of the back-end digital beamformer required for spatial multiplexing, and, for imaging, the development of system architectures requiring far fewer RF channels than the number of image pixels. We will describe transistor development, IC design, and system design, and describe our efforts to develop 140GHz massive MIMO wireless hubs, and 210GHz and 280GHz MIMO backhaul links.

[]One of the greatest inventors of the late 19th century, Alexander Graham Bell is probably most famous for the invention of the telephone and the ‘Bell Telephone Company’. Throughout his life, he sought to foster the advancement of scientific knowledge with his utmost dedication and sincere efforts. His career only began in earnest after his family moved from London, England to Ontario, Canada in an attempt to improve his health. He started as an elocution teacher for the deaf people where he worked tirelessly to spread an early form of sign language across America. He displayed his innovative talent with his invention of various sound recording and transmission devices. His greatest achievement remains the invention of the telephone that has changed and continues to change the way people communicate around the world. He was a pioneer, who gifted mankind with one of the most astonishing and trailblazing discoveries in human history, the telephone. 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! Some feedback from Attendees: Really appreciated the presentations. Your presentations are wonderful to 'think about other things..' and learn about other fields...Thank you again for the presentations and opening them up to other IEEE sections! - MC [] Agenda: 7:00 PM - Welcome and Introductions, Chapter business update; (on your own) Pizza, Popcorn and Soda Pop 7:05 PM - Documentary Start 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/539622
