The latest McKinsey Global Survey on AI in May of 2024 concludes that 2023 was the year the world discovered generative AI (GenAI) and 2024 is the year organizations truly began using—and deriving business value from—this new technology. An incredible 65 percent of respondents report that their organizations are regularly using GenAI, which is nearly double the percentage from the previous survey just ten months before. Respondents’ expectations for gen AI’s impact remain as high with three-quarters predicting that gen AI will lead to significant or disruptive change in their industries in the years ahead. This session is an invaluable opportunity for business leaders like you to overcome your hesitation and uncertainty of AI. Mastering AI tools and techniques is not just about keeping pace with technology; it's about leveraging these advanced resources to fill in knowledge gaps, enhance decision-making, and drive productivity. Learning to utilize AI not only streamlines operations but also significantly boosts your capacity to deliver increased business outcomes, making you more valuable and a strategic asset to your organization. You will leave equipped with practical, actionable strategies that you can implement immediately, turning your uncertainty into confidence and empowering you to leverage AI effectively in your daily tasks.

Goldilocks' FireBreak is a cybersecurity appliance developed in conjunction with NATO that provides unparalleled Layer 1 physical isolation protection for your critical digital assets and networks. It is not a replacement for existing cybersecurity tools; it's a complementary solution that enhances their effectiveness with layers and depth. While traditional cybersecurity tools are essential, they often leave gaps in protection that can be exploited by determined adversaries. Goldilock FireBreak addresses these vulnerabilities, enabling you to: - Significantly Reduce Your Attack Surface: - By physically isolating assets and networks, you drastically limit the potential entry points for malicious actors, making your systems far less vulnerable to attack. - Physically Segment and Isolate Assets: - Create true airgaps that protect your most sensitive systems from unauthorized access, even without an internet connection. - Achieve Granular Control: - Disconnect and isolate individual network segments or endpoints with precision and ease. - Respond Instantly to Threats: - Quickly and remotely isolate compromised systems, preventing the spread of attacks and minimizing damage.

[] Abstract: Electronics, power electronics, and electric machines are becoming important for an array of mobility/transportation, renewable energy and energy efficiency applications. In this presentation, I will introduce NREL and my group. I will describe some metrics, challenges, and opportunities for power electronics, electric machines, and electric traction-drive systems for light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicle applications. After that, I will give an overview of my group’s research activities in power electronics, electric machines and integrated (electric) traction-drive systems. This includes thermal management, thermomechanical reliability, state-of-health monitoring, and power module design, development, fabrication, and characterization aspects. Then, I will cover the power electronics thermal management experiences and background in some detail, including fluid-based cooling technologies, and efforts at both the power module- and inverter/converter level.

Welcome to the Fall 2024 Semester. The first MIPSE seminar of the semester will be presented by Prof. Lado Filipovic of the Vienna University of Technology on Wednesday, August 28 at 3:00 pm in Room 1018 Dow. In his seminar, titled “Multi-Scale Process TCAD at the Institute for Microelectronics, TU Wien”, Dr. Filipovic will describe the outcome of plasma materials processing – the use of plasma generated fluxes to fabricate microelectronics devices. Dr. Filipovic’s team has developed world leading technology computer aided design (TCAD) tools that use plasma reactor scale inputs to predict evolution of nm feature scale structures that are utilized in process and circuit design.

Abstract: Recent federal legislative and regulatory action along changing resource mixes are causing rapid shifts in how our energy system is being utilized. Two pieces of Federal legislation, the CHIPS act and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) are driving an increase in domestic manufacturing leading to load growth and increased renewable energy demand. Additionally, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission passed two groundbreaking rules. The first, Order 2023, changes the way that generation is processed by interconnecting utilities. The second, Order 1920, moves transmission planning towards a more proactive and holistic construct. During this talk we will talk about how this all fits to together and what regulatory barriers still exist preventing us from fully building the transmission grid that we need at the lowest possible cost. Speaker: David Mindham DAVID MINDHAM is presently Associate VP, Regulatory & Market Affairs for EDP Renewables. In that role, he oversees a team that develops and implements transmission and market strategy in multiple jurisdictions across North America. He is active in several RTO stakeholder forums, including chair of the MISO Interconnection Process Working Group, a member of the SPP Strategic Planning and Members Committees, and a member of the ERCOT Protocol Revisions Subcommittee. He serves on the Board of Directors of Americans for a Clean Energy Grid, IEEE-USA, Clean Grid Alliance, and Southern Renewable Energy Association. Before his current role, he has held positions in RTO strategy, FERC strategy, and transmission planning at ITC Holdings Corp. Agenda: 1. Socializing and Dinner (6:00 pm-6:30pm) 2.
