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.

This presentation will discuss the challenges for assuring the performance of a system that can learn from novel experiences in the field. Electronic Warfare (EW) systems operate at a timescale that means they cannot afford to learn post-mission, or with human supervision. EW systems must learn from a single observation, using self-supervised reinforcement feedback. The validation infrastructure must therefore support automated closed-loop, multi-resolution testing, and ways to test the effectiveness of actions. We must validate the learning process, rather than validating the learned model.

Abstract: Silicon Valley is commonly acknowledged as the tech capital of the world. How did Silicon Valley come into being, and what can we learn? The story goes back to local Hams trying to break RCA's tube patents, Stanford "angel" investors, the sinking of the Titanic, WW II and radar, and the SF Bay Area infrastructure that developed – these factors pretty much determined that the semiconductor and IC industries would be located in the Santa Clara Valley, and that the Valley would remain the world’s innovation center as new technologies emerge, and be the model for innovation worldwide. This talk will give an exciting and colorful history of development and innovation that began in Palo Alto in 1909. You'll meet some of the colorful characters – Cyril Elwell, Lee De Forest, Bill Eitel, Charles Litton, Fred Terman, David Packard, Bill Hewlett, Bill Shockley and others – who came to define our worldwide electronics industries through their inventions and process development. You'll understand some of the novel management approaches that have become the hallmarks of its tech startups. Many of these attributes can be found in other technology hubs; however, the SF Bay Area has five generations of experience, as well as a "critical mass" of talent, making it difficult for others to catch up. In this talk, the key attributes will be illustrated and analyzed, for consideration by other tech hubs, such as Central Indiana, and for entrepreneurs interested in creating their own start-ups or understanding them.

Title: The Path to Artificial General Intelligence During the past decade there has been remarkable progress in artificial intelligence. More recently, Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) driven disruption marked a significant milestone in cognitive pattern understanding and generation across speech, natural language, image and vision modalities. These improvements have been seamlessly integrated into numerous systems and products, reaching hundreds of millions of users worldwide. Consequently, discussions surrounding the attainment of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) have transitioned from theoretical speculation to a tangible reality. In this lecture, Dr. Ruhi Sarikaya will explore the driving forces behind the GenAI revolution and how they are shaping the path toward AGI in the coming decade. Specifically, the challenges and recent progress will be reviewed in the conversational and ambient intelligence field, focusing on how users engage with these systems in increasingly personalized and rich context—such as short- and long-term discourse, spatial awareness, temporal factors, device types, and input/output modalities. Additionally, Dr. Ruhi Sarikaya will share his perspective on navigating this exciting journey toward a future, where AI systems not only catch up to but potentially exceed human performance in sensory input understanding and cognition.

Abstract Ru is a candidate to replace Cu in the lower metal layers of future scaled BEOL interconnects. Because Ru is compatible with the direct metal etch integration approach, putting air (further referred to as air gap or AG) between metal lines could become the preferred approach to isolate adjacent metal lines. Although such advanced Ru-AG nano-interconnect schemes are awesome from a performance point-of-view, their reliability is challenged. In this presentation, the main reliability challenges for advanced Ru-AG BEOL systems will be discussed and future reliability research opportunities will be proposed. First, metal-reliability challenges will be addressed, where it will be argued that the determination of Jmax-values is difficult because very high currents are needed to make the lines fail and thus Joule heating needs to be properly considered. Also, the fact that Ru is a p-type metal makes data interpretation and failure analysis challenging (but interesting). Second, TDDB is discussed. Although lifetime predictions using standard TDDB tests look good, the non-existence of a consensus about a) the TDDB lifetime model, b) the conduction mechanism and the related conduction paths and c) the preferred failure locations, are worrisome and will require significant research efforts. Finally, experimental and modelling work related to potential mechanical issues with the Ru-AG system will be discussed. Where the mechanically weaker places and their mitigation approaches are more-or-less known for Cu-low-k systems, the integration and design knobs to mitigate potential CPI-issues in such systems require future research attention.

As global tensions intensify; how do we keep the lights on when everyone with an internet connection has access to the switch? Whenever you flip on a light switch, you are calling upon the most complex and dynamic machine ever built, to deliver you just the right amount of electricity to power your home. Meanwhile, hundreds of millions of other people and businesses across North America call upon that same machine for the same service. When you think about it this way, it is quite remarkable that you can depend on consistent reliable access to electricity. This doesn’t happen by accident. How does it all work so well (most of the time)? Who is responsible for that machine? Who is protecting it? We will take a short journey describing the North American electric machine, how it works, how it is split up, how it can be broken, and how we are protecting it. We will attempt to avoid technical electric jargon and regulatory politics as much as possible.

Dr. Robert Weissbach, a Full Professor of Engineering Technology from Purdue University Indianapolis and a past Chair of Department of Engineering Technology of IUPUI will give us a presentation related to renewable energy generation and storage. Free food and beverage will be provided to the in-person attendees, along with 1 PDH for those who needs continuing education hours. Abstract: The increased use of intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy has increased the need for energy storage solutions to address instances of low generation of renewables. Long duration energy storage, defined as greater than 10 hours of storage, has been difficult to achieve with most storage technologies, including chemical batteries. Pumped storage hydro is one promising long duration energy storage technology. During early morning hours when the electrical load is reduced, water is pumped from a lower reservoir to an upper reservoir. During the day and early evening when the load peaks, water is allowed to flow through a turbine coupled to a generator to provide additional generation capacity before returning to the lower reservoir. Unfortunately, many of the geological sites that can support pumped storage hydro have already been developed in the United States. A potential novel option is to use a mine void as the lower reservoir with the upper reservoir at ground level. This presentation will look at the potential of pumped storage hydro in soon-to-be-abandoned mines.

IEEE Signal Processing Society Chicago Chapter/ECE Seminar Tuesday, November 26, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. Location: SEO Room 1000, 851 S. Morgan St., Chicago, IL 60607 Title: Learning with Graphs Gonzalo Mateos, PhD Associate Professor University of Rochester Abstract: This talk is about learning from network data, which arises for instance with applications involving online social media, recommendation systems, transportation, and network neuroscience. By fruitfully exploiting the inductive biases in relational data, graph neural networks (GNNs) have attained unprecedented performance in various machine learning tasks, including node/graph classification, link prediction, and graph generation. To provide additional motivation, I will start with a user-friendly and didactic introduction to graph signal processing. The goal is to establish the foundations and basic concepts that will be useful to introduce graph GNNs in an intuitive way. After discussing architectures and key properties that make GNNs the model of choice when it comes to learning from relational data, I will highlight several success stories of GNN-based learning for Amazon’s recommendation system, Google Maps navigation, antibiotic discovery, and our own work on explainable brain age prediction. Bio: Gonzalo Mateos earned the B.Sc. degree from Universidad de la Republica, Uruguay, in 2005, and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, in 2009 and 2011, all in electrical engineering.
