Thinks have really changed in the 140 years since the leading minds in electronics met to share ideas at what was to become the inaugural meeting of the predecessor of IEEE. What a different world the Edisons and Teslas and Westinghouses and other engineers of that day would find in the technology of the Twenty-First Century. One of the areas where technology is rapidly outpacing our ability to absorb new material, and control or legislate it is Artificial Intelligence. Join us in Celebrating 140 years of IEEE AND the fifteen anniversary of IEEE Day with a look into Artificial Intelligence: Where we were, where we are now, and where we may be going. Refreshments will be served as we celebrate IEEE's Birthday.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies have fueled many burgeoning applications from on-device learning to self-driving cars and collaborative robots. Despite these unprecedented advancements, the holy grail of enabling fully autonomous machine intelligence remains far from our grasp. One key challenge is the lack of performant and efficient hardware implementation, especially in the case of embedded/edge devices with rich sensory inputs yet stringent resource constraints. In this talk, I will present our work to tackle this challenge from a unique angle that leverages information processing ability innate in the analog/mixed-signal (AMS) domain by embedding AI computation directly inside the pixel circuits, delivering much-improved performance and efficiency. I will first introduce our design of in-sensor learned compressive acquisition (LeCA) and then talk about a novel in-sensor architecture that supports real-time gaze tracking, a key primitive in AR/VR applications. Finally, I will present CamJ, a first-of-its-kind energy modeling framework that empowers designers to navigate the large algorithm-hardware co-design space of computational image sensors.

This dynamic session uses case studies drawn from the IEEE community to help you dramatically improve your ability to use hybrid work as an instrument to improve retention and productivity while cutting costs. Many leaders rely on traditional office-centric collaboration and leadership styles in managing hybrid teams. Yet research conclusively demonstrates that, instead of incrementally improving on the old-school office-centric approach, the best outcomes in managing hybrid teams come from adopting a flexible hybrid-first work model. Doing so results in much higher retention and productivity, reduces costs, and boosts engagement, innovation, collaboration, and risk mitigation. Through adopting hybrid work best practices based on this training, you will empower yourself and your team to maximize retention, productivity, and cost savings in our increasingly-disrupted future of work. All attendees will have an opportunity to receive a complimentary copy of the speaker's best-selling book on which this talk is based, called Returning to the Office and Leading Hybrid and Remote Teams.

1) Abstract: The space charges due to corona discharge along ultra-high-voltage direct-current (UHVDC) lines can increase the electric field on the ground level. In China, in order to protect the residents nearby, the electric field has to be modeled and predicted before the design of HVDC projects. The development of UHVDC lines and the limit of the electric field will be introduced first. After the modeling and calculation method for the electric field of HVDC overhead lines is discussed, the characteristics of the electric field for some particular cases are analyzed, including the electric field around the buildings and the effect of the suspended particles in the air. 2) Abstract: Corona discharge and its related Electromagnetic environment issues are important in HVAC/HVDC power energy transmission systems; operating conditions and the external environment are very complex during long-distance power transmission. The effect of surface conditions on the electromagnetic environment of HVAC power transmission lines will be given. First, the effect of particulate matter on the electromagnetic environment of HVDC conductors will be presented. The application of TiO2-based photocatalysis functional materials in corona-discharge suppression will be discussed thereafter. Some typical ongoing and future work in this research field will be introduced finally.

Join us the IEEE RRVS EMC & IAS chapter Meeting at 6pm. Effects of Wind Turbine Grounding System Interconnection on Electromagnetic Transients Caused by Lightning. The presentation will provide an introduction to wind parks and modern wind turbine components and topologies. Then we will discuss testing and modeling of lightning strike effects in modern Composite Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) Rotor Blades and wind turbines. This is an essential step in wind park and turbine design, manufacturing, and certification. Lightning effects may impose additional requirements for the reliable operation of the low voltage and medium voltage grid against surges. This talk is based on two standards for wind turbines and generators. Part 24 of both standards governs lightning protection. The latest editions of standards IEC-61400-24 Ed. 2.0 (2019) and JIS C 1400-24:2023 recommend connecting the grounding systems of the individual wind turbines and the sub-station all together using horizontal grounding conductors. This will form an overall wind farm earthing system. The objective is to reduce abnormal earth potential distribution effects, and to mitigate dangerous overvoltage effects. An extensive comparison of these effects will be presented and discussed in depth with the audience. About the Speaker: Yarú Méndez is engaged as a principal engineer at the wind turbine blade manufacturer LM Wind Power (A GE Vernova company) in Denmark and as a lecturer in electrical engineering (EE) at the Universidad Simón Bolívar (USB) in Venezuela.

Dr. Tom Mehlhorn - University of Michigan From KMS Fusion to HB11 Energy, Xcimer Energy, and Fuse Federal USA; A 50 Year Inertial Fusion Energy Perspective The achievement of ignition and gain on NIF has validated the scientific basis of inertial confinement fusion (ICF). The Department of Energy (DOE) and venture capital funded private companies are again interested in inertial fusion energy (IFE). The new DOE Milestone-Based Fusion Development Program and other Federal programs are creating public–private partnerships to accelerate progress toward fusion pilot plants. The U.S. leads in ICF, but the race to develop the first IFE power plant is an international competition. Private companies will need to play a leading role in developing the necessary technologies. This talk will provide a 50-year perspective as well as discuss promising strategies for the U.S. IFE program from both public and private viewpoints. It will also describe the research of three companies that I am advising: HB11 Energy Pty Ltd. (aneutronic proton–boron fuel cycle), 2) Xcimer Energy (IFE technology to achieve high laser energies), and 3) Fuse Federal (next generation pulsed power technologies for both defense and energy applications).

Abstract: While silicon scaling has reached astonishing levels over the last half century, there has not been a corresponding level of scaling in electronic packaging technology. However, Artificial Intelligence (AI) architectures are now changing the landscape, increasingly moving us towards advanced packaging technology and Heterogeneous Integration (HI). What are these unique requirements of AI which are driving the need for HI? What are some of the unique challenges in semiconductor and packaging technologies that must be overcome to make this successful? This seminar will discuss key HI methods including interposers, fan out wafer level processing, silicon bridges, and 3D integration to see how they can be leveraged to achieve AI architectures.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) transforms how we live and work through numerous practical applications of intelligence, insights, and decision-making. These generative intelligence capabilities have expanded into industrial applications and systems, leading to many opportunities for innovation in research, development, practice, training, and education. For instance, in energy systems, Generative AI can inform decisions on renewables integration, energy conservation measures, energy optimization, and predictive maintenance. At the same time, across the board in robotics, it contributes to trajectory planning, state estimation, adaptive vision, and human interaction. In parallel to these rapid technical innovations, the risks of AI are also growing. AI that is poorly designed, developed, and evaluated without consideration of the broader socio-technical landscape of operation can result in system failures, service disruptions, security violations, and even human casualties. Some experts have also escalated this to a risk of extinction from AI that should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war. The seminar introduces Generative AI, its composition, capabilities, and distinction from conventional AI, followed by its opportunities and challenges in industrial domains. Risks and ethics of AI alongside globally accepted guidelines for responsible practice and development of AI will also be discussed.
