Title:
Professor Jason Eshraghian, UC Santa Cruz, and IEEE CASS/EMBS Distinguished Lectures
Date:
June 13th
1:00 PM (4 hours)
Location:
Halicioğlu Data Science Institute (HDSI), Multipurpose Room 123
San Diego, CA
Abstract:
1-3pm, Tutorial on Circuits and Systems for Artificial Intelligence: Architecture and algorithms focusing on spiking neural nets and transformers 3:30-5pm, Distinguished Lecture and INC Computational Neuroscience Seminar: "Brain-Inspired Low-Power Language Models" This talk unveils the transformative potential of achieving sub-10-watt language models (LMs) by drawing inspiration from the brain’s energy efficiency. We introduce a groundbreaking approach to language model design, featuring a matrix-multiplication-free architecture that scales to billions of parameters. To validate this paradigm, we developed custom hardware solutions (FPGA) as well as leveraged pre-existing neuromorphic hardware (Intel Loihi 2), optimized for lightweight operations that outperform traditional GPU capabilities. Our system achieves human-surpassing throughput on billion-parameter models at just 13 watts, setting a new benchmark for energy-efficient AI. This work not only redefines what's possible for low-power LLMs but also highlights the critical operations future accelerators must prioritize to enable the next wave of sustainable AI innovation.

Title:
Navigating Small-Signal Instability in Converter-Dominated Power Systems
Date:
June 16th
11:00 AM (1 hour)
Abstract:

Electrical power systems are undergoing unprecedented changes, mainly driven by decarbonisation targets and climate change, as well as other technical, economic, and social reasons. This leads to the integration of new technologies such as renewable generation, electric vehicles, HVDC links, etc. These devices are mostly connected via power electronics with very different dynamic behaviour, leading to increasing complexity of power system dynamics. In addition, uncertainty is also increasing due to the intermittent nature of renewable generation, but also because of how society will use energy on the way to decarbonization (e.g., electrification of transport or possibly heating). At the same time, advanced measurement and communication infrastructure are being integrated into modern power systems. Such technologies, especially coupled with machine learning, offer opportunities for advanced situational awareness, decision support tools, and automated control methods.

This presentation will highlight the challenges faced in future power systems with high penetration of converter-connected units, in terms of their dynamic behaviour, and discuss methods and tools to tackle them. The talk will mainly address the question of how we characterize the complex and uncertain dynamic behaviour in power systems with high converter penetration, and how this can be affected by different control structures. Probabilistic stability assessment methods to quantify the impact and characterize new types of oscillatory interactions of power systems with converter-connected units will be discussed, including the behaviour of oscillations in the sub-synchronous range. In addition, a view on how to define system strength associated with small-signal dynamics will also be discussed.

Title:
Finding and Fixing Design Debt
Date:
June 17th
5:00 PM (1 hour)
Location:
ETS - Pavillon E
Montreal, QC
Abstract:

In this talk I will discuss a common and pernicious form of technical debt--called design debt, or architecture debt. I will briefly present the theoretical foundation behind this form of debt and present a broad set of evidence demonstrating its dramatic effects on project outcomes. That is the bad news. The good news is that we can automatically pinpoint the causes and scope of such debt. I will describe how we can automatically locate it, measure it, and create the business case for removing it. Finally, I will explain how we can remove--pay down--this debt via refactoring. I will also sketch some of my experiences doing all of this in real-world projects, along with the outcomes.

Title:
Aquatic ecosystems Monitoring using NASA’s EMIT and ECOSTRESS Mission
Date:
June 17th
5:30 PM (2 hours)
Location:
Biology and Biological Engineering (BBB), Room B180
Pasadena, CA
Abstract:

Aquatic ecosystems are complex, dynamic interfaces shaped by interactions between land, water, and the atmosphere. Yet, they remain challenging to monitor consistently across spatial and temporal scales. NASA’s EMIT (Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation) and ECOSTRESS (ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station) missions offer new capabilities for observing these environments. EMIT’s imaging spectroscopy provides surface reflectance measurements that can support assessments of water quality, and intertidal and benthic habitat composition. ECOSTRESS complements this with thermal observations that help identify thermal gradients, urban runoff patterns, and hydrologic connectivity. This talk highlights how the integration of EMIT and ECOSTRESS data is expanding our toolkit for aquatic ecosystem monitoring, with applications ranging from early detection of water quality changes to improved understanding of ecosystem function and resilience. Case examples will illustrate how these missions are helping connect space-based observations to local decision-making.

New Materials and Interface Effects In Charge and Spin Transport In Magnetic Heterostructures
Date:
June 18th
6:30 PM (1.5 hours)
Location:
1120 Ringwood Ct
San Jose, CA
Abstract:

A presentation by Professor Guenter Reiss, Ph.D., Bielefeld University, Bielefeld Germany, on magnetic heterostructures which are key devices for spin electronics.  

An introduction will present examples of basic effects and their applications. We then will discuss several novel materials and interface-induced effects occurring in magnetic heterostructures: The growth of altermagnetic thin films and their integration in magnetic tunnel junctions with barriers such as RuO2 are at present intensively investigated due to their potentially spin-split band structure and related spin currents. X-ray analysis reveals a high crystalline quality of the films with or without twinning depending on the choice of the substrate. When integrated with an MgO tunnel barrier and a ferromagnetic counter-electrode, signatures of a tunneling magnetoresistance strongly depend on the bias voltage and are not yet fully understood. When integrated with ferromagnets (Ni80Fe20) or heavy metals (Pt), an analysis based on the 2ω method shows the presence of torques in accordance with a spin current at the interface. When replacing the altermagnet by a ferromagnet, the heavy metal can show a proximity-induced ferromagnetism at the interface, which substantially influences the results of well-known phenomena such as the spin Seebeck, anomalous Nernst, or anomalous Hall effects. Examples will be discussed using metallic as well as insulating ferro- or ferrimagnets and recipes for disentangling the many effects will be given.

An electrocution in San Antonio out on the sidewalk.
Date:
June 19th
8:30 AM (1 hour)
Abstract:

Anatomy of an Accident: 
How Sloppy work and a Lack of Documentation Caused Massive Payouts!

 

On Thursday morning, January 7, 1999, a woman walking to work died on the sidewalk in front of UTSA downtown.  The cause was ruled as electrocution from an energized metal lid in the sidewalk.  The resultant investigation revealed a lack of final inspection on the original work and many problems with subsequent work.  Enough that San Antonio’s Central Power Supply (CPS) and others paid out a combined .4M.  James Mercier, who was at that time an engineer for the Texas Department of Transportation, will present and discuss the various errors discovered from his investigation for TxDOT and in the court records.  Long after the court case was settled, James may have figured out what really happened that day!

Harnessing Light for 3D Printing with Upconversion

 

 

Abstract:

Precision manufacturing at the nanoscale faces a fundamental energy bottleneck: achieving the resolution needed for next-generation devices requires laser powers so high they severely limit throughput and scalability.In this talk, I will present a breakthrough solution developed at Harvard and Stanford using triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion, a process where two low-energy photons create one high-energy photon. By encapsulating specialized light-converting molecules in protective silica shells, we can trigger photopolymerization deep within printing resins using laser powers orders of magnitude lower than existing methods. This approach not only dramatically reduces energy requirements but also enables flexible printing strategies, from single-point precision to parallel processing, which opens new possibilities for scalable nanomanufacturing.Read more: Technical review article: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acsnano.3c00543Research article: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04485-8IEEE Spectrum article: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/10271352

Title:
A System of Systems for Cognitive Decision-Making
Date:
June 25th
12:00 PM (2 hours)
Abstract:

A System of Systems for Cognitive Decision-Making

Decision-making is a task that an average person does about 300 to 400 times a day.  Most decisions are minor but there are some that are of great importance, that the decision can have great impact. The Butterfly Effect states that a small action in one part of the world can cause a great effect in another part of the world at some later time. [Lorenz]

The Gartner Group estimates that by 2028 33% of enterprise applications will include agentic AI, and that this will enable 15% of daily work decisions to be made autonomously, without human intervention. [Gartner].  This can be fueled by a combination of shortage of capable humans, an increase in the cost of human involvement, and greater AI accuracy and performance.  It should be started on a narrow realm of application, and with knowledge, experience, and success, the realm could be expanded. Human cognitive function is an important part of this paper, except that we try to create it in the machine environment. 

Some example situations are included to help demonstrate the problem. This paper explains some of the types of decision-making and how they are performed. The paper then continues with how this process, modeled after an intelligent human would perform the task. This discussion combines computer science, decision sciences, psychology, and mathematics to describe this project.

IEEE SPS SCV - Energy-Efficient Neural Image and Video Compression
Date:
June 26th
12:00 PM (1 hour)
Abstract:

This talk addresses modern approaches to image and video compression through the lens of energy-efficient hardware design. Traditional codecs like JPEG and H.264 are increasingly being challenged by learned compression techniques based on deep neural networks, particularly autoencoders. While these methods offer state-of-the-art performance in rate-distortion trade-offs, their deployment in real-world systems depends critically on efficient circuit and architectural design. We will explore the structure and training of neural compression models, including variational autoencoders and entropy bottlenecks, followed by the challenges of implementing these models in energy- and area-constrained environments such as mobile devices, cameras, and edge computing systems.

Monolithic Co-integration of III-V Materials into Foundry Si-CMOS in a Single Chip for Novel Integrated Circuits
Date:
June 27th
11:30 AM (1.5 hours)
Location:
Sunnyvale, CA
Abstract:

As Moore’s Law is slowing down and eventually approaching an end for conventional CMOS, new platforms for producing circuit-level innovation are desired.  At the same time, it is not desirable to throw away the existing Si-CMOS infrastructure to start new.  This talk presents an overview of the 10-year research program, which is a “vertical” innovative platform by “inserting” III-V layers into a conventional Si-CMOS foundry process.  The talk also presents a unified compact model for generic GaN/InGaAs-based HEMTs in the context of the hybrid III-V + CMOS technology developed for future heterogeneous integrated circuits.  The developed model has been implemented in a hybrid III-V/CMOS foundry PDK for designing heterogeneous circuits in III-V/Si monolithically co-integrated technology.
