- III-Nitride Ferroelectrics for Low-Power and Extreme Environment Electronics
Deep Jariwala, Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering, University of Pennsylvania, USA

Time: 3:30 pm to 4:10pm
Location: PSU Vernier Science Center room 105
Dense and reliable data storage combined with fast and high band-width access in novel memory devices has become the frontier for research in modern computing hardware. In this regard there have been several advancements across a variety of technologies in the past three decades. Ferroelectric materials and devices are among the forefront of these technologies due to their low-power and fast switching abilities but suffer from integration challenges. Simultaneously, developing data-heavy computing architectures in extreme environments is a growing need and a frontier challenge since silicon carbide (SiC) which is the leading logic technology for elevated temperature environments is limited by computing power and lack of memory devices that can operate at elevated temperatures. In this talk, I will try to make the case of how novel III-nitride materials might present interesting avenues to overcome some of the above limitations being faced by both Silicon and Silicon Carbide (SiC) hardware.

- The Manifesto of Hope: A New Social Contract for Our Human Family

The U.S. and a host of major corporations have shelved their efforts to replace carbon-spewing technologies with clean energy. Despite years of international pledges, global efforts have failed to stop rising temperatures from endangering the planet. Yet in The Manifesto of Hope, published this October, the author, a journalist and veteran of global climate conferences, shows that the effort to make the world green and more fair, especially for the Global South, is an unstoppable force.
Sustainability is being powered by solid economics: Green and renewable energy is much more profitable and economically viable than any new fossil fuel ventures. The world is moving ahead with sustainability plans, and in the absence of the U.S., the leaders will be China and India.
At a time when efforts by global politicians have stalled while climate emergency, conflict, and corruption have corroded all our aspirations for a just society in a liveable planet, the author aims to empower citizen leaders to push for tough and enforceable measures to save the planet and our species. Since IEEE Planet Positive 2030 is central to the actionable solutions in the book, this talk is a good opportunity to discuss the implications of Strong Sustainability by Design and how it can be implemented. "The future is a matter of choice, not fate," the author says. "Let us choose to lead." See book announcement on LinkedIn.
