Alan Turing OBE FRS (23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954) was an English mathematician, computer scientist, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher, and theoretical biologist. Turing was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalization of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general-purpose computer. He is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. Despite this Turing remains largely unknown to the general mainstream population. AFTER the movie - 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 Co-sponsored by: Subramaniam Ganesan Agenda: 7:00 PM - Welcome and Introductions, Chapter business update; (on your own) Pizza, Popcorn and Soda Pop 7:05 PM - Documentary Start 8:00 PM - End of Documentary; Start of Q & A; Group Discussion 8:15 PM - Wrap Up Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/562761

In its Precision Sensing Lecture Series, International Institute for Biosensing (IIB) in collaboration with TwinCities IEEE Sensor Council Chapter is proud to host Barbara Pause. She is the owner and managing director of Textile Testing & Innovation LLC. The company's operations are focussed on specialized testing of the thermal and moisture management of textiles and composites as well as product development utilizing cutting-edge technologies, such as the Phase Change Material (PCM) Technology. My experience as a researcher covers the fields of heat and moisture transfer through textiles and other materials, the Phase Change Material (PCM) Technology, the Shape Memory Material (SMM) Technology, as well as applications of both technologies in various end-use products. She has presented the results of my research at numerous international conferences, published a multitude of papers and contributed to several technical text books, including "Guidelines for the Design of Products Equipped with Phase Change Material. She has more than 20 issued patents. In this lecture a phase change material (PCM) absorbs, stores, and releases a large amount of so- called “latent heat” in a material specific temperature range while its temperature remains nearly constant. PCMs can be used in wearables and medical devices to maintain a stable temperature, cool them down, or supply heat as needed, depending on their thermal needs. In the webinar, common PCMs will be introduced, the thermal effects will be explained, and applications in medical devices will be discussed.

The IEEE Southeastern Michigan Section Monthly ExCom (Executive Committee) Meeting (every 2nd Thursday of the month) same time 6:30 PM EST/EDT (This is a virtual meeting, unless stated otherwise). We will discuss Section mission objectives, guidance, direction, as well as all the chapter/affinity groups/student branches and section committee reports, events, plans, opportunities to assist each other and help create value for our members. All IEEE members are welcome to attend, but they do need to register in order to receive the webex details. NOTE: All Chapter/Affinity Groups/Student Branch Chairs are required to update and inform all attendees of their past/current activities and plans for the year. A standard template is provided - which every member can view. If the chairs cannot attend, they are required to nominate one of their current chapter/affinity group/student branch officers to attend on their behalf. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mrCOzBVIofTLZ4Z5eovGza4VN6amLgz1?usp=sharing Co-sponsored by: Sharan Kalwani Speaker(s): Christopher Johnson, Sharan Kalwani, Agenda: Published on google drive - link sent each month via email to ALL the chapter/Affinity Group/Student Branch/Committee chairs. Ensure you are listed on the ExCom listserv as well (contact [email protected] in case of doubt) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mrCOzBVIofTLZ4Z5eovGza4VN6amLgz1?usp=sharing Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/525074

[]IEEE Senior Member is the highest IEEE member grade for which IEEE members can apply and does not incur any additional cost or fees. The Senior Member grade is a way for the IEEE members to receive recognition for their professional experience and significant performance in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and the related fields including Computer Science and Information Technology, Physical Sciences, Biological and Medical Sciences, Mathematics, Technical Communications, Education, Management, Law, and Policy. 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. We will also feature their profile in the next edition of Wavelengths. Senior Member Elevation: IEEE SEM Section Membership Committee will reprise its Senior Member Elevation event, on July 11th, 2026 between 3:00 PM and 4:30 PM (In Person). Afterwards - we will go have either high tea or a classic Florida styel "early bird" dinner. The way it works is : At least a 10 years of significant experience with BS degree needs be be established to initiate the senior membership elevation. (A Ph.D is considered to be 5 years of significant experience and a master degree is considered to be 2 years of significant experience. The remaining 5 (with PhD) to 8 (with MS degree) years of significant experience should be established from the member experience in his/her profession to initiate and submit applications for Senior Member Elevation.) Note: There is no cost to becoming a Senior Member, and this step is a necessary prelude to seeking the IEEE ‘Fellow’ level. For a complete description of the Senior Member process and its benefits, see the link at: https://www.ieee.org/membership_services/membership/grade_elevation.html To (https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/461460)for "Elevation" Time Slot, please(https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/461460)for the event and consider contacting existing senior members/fellows as references; also bring an electronic copy of your resume, and relevant supporting materials (list of papers published, standards work done, patents, senior/leadership positions, etc.). []Here is a link to (https://www.ieee.org/membership/senior/deadlines.html) before filing your application. Also you may seek to contact or network with other Southeastern Michigan Section members who were upgraded to senior status. You may find some of them profiled in our monthly newsletter - (https://r4.ieee.org/sem/about-sem/sem-history/wavelengths-magazine-archive/)! Networking: * We recommend that if attendees cannot join us in person doo look for the next events { most likely end of August and once again in early October}. Co-sponsored by: Sharan Kalwani Speaker(s): Mohamad Berri, Sharan Kalwani Agenda: 3:00 PM - Introductions and Elevation processing. 4:30 PM - Wrap up, Clean up, Solidify new friendships, contacts, networking and head off to get a bite to eat. Then we temporarily say 'Good bye' ALL times are in EST/EDT time zone Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/562816
