[]This presentation provides a high-level description of CALCE-UMD activities in reliability physics of microelectronic systems, starting with a brief history and continuing on to recent trends in multiscale modeling of the reliability of advanced microelectronic packaging. The discussion includes specific focus on the importance of considering material microstructure in predictive reliability physics modeling; and explores the role of reliability physics in the context of AI/ML* approaches for reliability modeling. In Topic 1, we will examine three examples where microstructure-sensitive modeling can provide important insights into material behavior: (i) organic interposers/substrates that are based on fabric-reinforced composites; (ii) solder alloys with heterogeneous multiscale microstructure; (iii) sintered silver materials with agglomerated nanoporous microstructure. In Topic 2, we will qualitatively explore the interplay between reliability physics and AI/ML in influencing both epistemic as well as aleatory uncertainties in reliability predictions. *AI/ML: Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning Speaker(s): Abhijit Dasgupta, Bldg: ARMS 3115, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, United States, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/554090

This presentation summarizes an integrated workflow to quantify and model how real char particle morphology influences gas–solid multiphase transport, with a focus on improving the fidelity of reactor- scale simulations for biomass–coal conversion systems. Char particles produced from bituminous coal and biomass (pine sawdust) are imaged using high-resolution micro-CT, and their 3D geometries are reconstructed in ScanIP for particle-scale analysis. Using these realistic morphologies, particle-scale CFD simulations resolve coupled conservation equations (mass, momentum, species, and energy) under combustion-relevant boundary conditions, enabling direct evaluation of morphology-driven flow and thermal fields and their impact on aerodynamic drag. The study further assesses the accuracy of classical drag correlations developed for idealized shapes by comparing them against 3D simulation results across multiple particle orientations and Reynolds numbers (Re = 20–200), highlighting substantial model discrepancies when irregularity and orientation effects are present. Unlike the conventional models, to consider the full picture of the particle morphology and reduce the computational burden of high-fidelity CFD, a deep-learning algorithm has been developed in which a CNN ingests voxelized 3D particle images along with Reynolds number/orientation encoding to predict drag coefficients, achieving high accuracy and enabling rapid parameter sweeps that are impractical with CFD alone.

AI is changing faster than almost anyone can track. Not the people using AI every day, not the people paying for it, not the people deciding whether to use it at all, and not the people building the architectures. The volume of news is unmanageable, partly because a lot of it is now being written by the AIs themselves. Half of this talk is about what deserves your attention. The other half is Bob. Software engineering used to have a guy named Bob. Bob's job was to look at what you were doing, ask why, and tell you to slow the hell down. Bob read the spec before the code, the code before the commit, the commit before the deploy. Bob was annoying. Bob was correct. I miss Bob. Vibe coding does not have Bob. I tried to get him back into the room by creating four tools. Duplo is Bob creating the spec from whatever reference material you have. McLoop is Bob running the build while you sleep, with discipline about what gets committed. Orchestra is grumpy Bob fighting LLM slop by putting multiple models in specific roles, because any single LLM can fail spectacularly and Bob does not like that. Vroom is Bob reading what shipped and asking what should have been done differently. Short live demo of Bob. Where Bob came from. Where Bob breaks. Bring questions, and bring the kind of skepticism the field used to have before it fired Bob. Bio Mike Coen is a computer scientist and ML researcher whose work spans software agents, self-supervised learning, AI security, and LLM infrastructure. He earned his S.B., S.M., and Ph.D. from MIT, and received the Sprowls Award for outstanding dissertation in computer science. He was previously on the faculty at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and co-founded several fintech startups in New York and Chicago. His recent work focuses on hardening AI systems and working toward 1,000 useful commits per day on GitHub.

The IEEE Twin Cities Life Members Affinity Group is sponsoring a tour of the mostly automated Amazon Fulfillment Center in Shakopee, MN on May 13 at 10:30 AM. The Tour is at no charge. Amazon will provide a broad, high-level overview of fulfillment center operations for general audiences. The one-hour walking tour will take the group through the operations process of what happens after a customer clicks "Buy" on Amazon.com. Amazon operates a vast network of fulfillment centers worldwide. These centers are designed to efficiently process millions of orders daily, using advanced technology and automation to ensure fast and accurate delivery. Fulfillment centers are distinct from standard warehouses because they actively manage inventory, pick and pack items, and prepare them for shipment rather than just storing goods. Amazon fulfillment centers integrate robotics and automation to enhance efficiency. 5,000 robots assist with moving bins, sorting packages, and reducing manual lifting, while associates handle picking, packing, and quality control. Amazon’s MSP1 Fulfillment Center is located at 2601 4th Ave East, Shakopee, MN 55379. Use the main building entrance located closest to the Amazon Fulfillment logo and to the right of the flags. REGISTRATION Ø Life Members wishing to attend must register by April 15, 2026 to allow time to broaden our invitation to fill out the tour if needed. Tours are limited to 25 visitors. Ø Each Life Member may bring their spouse or another adult who must also register. Ø Tap the “Register” as the first step in registering. Within a couple of days you should receive a link for Amazon Registration. Without this registration, you will not be allowed to join the tour. Ø Please register only if you will definitely attend. ARRIVAL Ø Plan to arrive by 10:15 AM to allow extra time for finding parking as there are no designated guest parking spots. Guests should enter the building through the main entrance and wait in the lobby until the tour leader arrives to greet and check you in prior to your tour. If guests do not arrive on time, the tour will start without them. Once the tour has begun, guests will not be able to join the tour. Ø Upon your arrival, the Amazon tour leader will ask for a government issued photo ID. Please ensure that guest information submitted during sign-up matches the guest ID. Ø Visitor badges must be always worn for security and identification purposes. Bldg: Amazon's MSP1 Fulfillment Center, 2601 4th Ave East, Shakopee, Minnesota, United States, 55379

The Department of Information Decision Sciences (IDS) of the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) is thrilled to invite you to attend the 4th Annual Symposium on AI in Business and Society. AI is transforming industries and society at an unprecedented pace, revolutionizing fields like energy, manufacturing, healthcare, consumer insights, and supply chains. While these advancements unlock powerful solutions, challenges remain in achieving enterprise-scale monetization of AI while addressing critical ethical and policy concerns—ranging from bias and transparency to data security and sustainability. This symposium unites leading experts and practitioners for a dynamic program of keynotes, talks, fireside chats, and panels. Together, we will explore cutting-edge AI applications, responsible strategies, and workforce implications that ensure AI drives both business success and societal benefit. Join us to help define the future of AI innovation with accountability. What you'll gain from this symposium: - Actionable frameworks for responsible AI, designed for business and societal impact. - Expert insights into scaling AI within organizations, tackling data security, and workforce readiness. - A deep dive into the economics behind building and sustaining AI energy infrastructure. Organizing committee (alphabetical): Prof. Boxiao Chen, Prof. Alvin Chin, Prof. Michael Choi, Ying Liu ( Department Affiliate), Mr. Whusheane Perry (chair), Prof. Ali Tafti, and Prof. Jim Treleaven.
