Neuromorphic Computing for Future AI Systems Cory Merkel, Ph.D. Director, Brain Lab Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Engineering, RIT Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the linchpin in a growing number of products, services, and research programs which are aimed at automating and enhancing the human decision-making process. There is no doubt that AI will play a central role in the future of healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and defense, among others. However, the rapidly growing size, weight, and power (SWaP) cost of AI algorithms limits their deployment on devices with practical computing and energy constraints (satellites, wearables, wireless sensors). In this talk, I will discuss our lab’s efforts to bridge this gap by closely emulating the structure and function of biological brains, with the ultimate goal of enabling AI in the most SWaP-constrained environments. This research takes a holistic approach, examining the entire AI stack, from devices and circuits to algorithms and applications. At the lowest level, I will present our research on memristor-based circuits for implementing weighted communication pathways in artificial neural networks (ANNs) and spiking neural networks (SNNs). Memristors reduce the power and latency associated with running ANNs/SNNs on traditional computer architectures by directly emulating both the memory and computation of biological synapses. In addition, memristor plasticity enables on-chip learning and allows ANNs/SNNs to function in the presence of hardware defects and process variations. Moving up the design hierarchy, the talk will highlight ideas for biologically-inspired energy management in neuromorphic systems and efficient ANN/SNN topologies. Finally, the talk will provide an overview of our research related to the trustworthiness and potential security vulnerabilities of AI hardware with ties to human perception and psychology. Bio: Cory Merkel is an assistant professor with the Department of Computer Engineering, Rochester Institute of Technology. He earned his BS and MS degrees in computer engineering (2011) and a Ph.D. in microsystems engineering (2015) from RIT. From 2016 to 2018, Dr. Merkel was a research electronics engineer with the Information Directorate, Air Force Research Lab. He is currently the director of the Brain Lab, a multidisciplinary research lab aimed at fundamental research to enable the next generation of ultra-efficient and trustworthy AI systems. His current research focuses on mapping of AI algorithms, primarily artificial and spiking neural networks, to mixed-signal hardware, design of brain-inspired computing systems using emerging technologies, and trustworthy AI hardware. Dr. Merkel’s research has been published in a number of peer-reviewed conferences, journals, and books.

Abstract: The fusion of digital and real worlds in all dimensions will be the driving force for future sixth-generation (6G) wireless systems. Ubiquitous in-time and on-time communication services between humans, machines, robots, and their virtual counterparts are essential, and they expand from the ground to air, space, underground, and deep sea. 6G systems are not only data pipelines but also large-scale distributed computing systems with integrated sensing, processing, storage, communication and computing capabilities. It is challenging to build ubiquitous and intelligent 6G systems, handling stringent quality-of-service (QoS) requirements, providing a rich set of communication modes, including unicast, multicast, broadcast, in-cast, and group-cast, and supporting user-centric mobile applications. In this talk, we introduce a new protocol architecture architecture that can provide a wide range of control functions, and be intelligently configured for different types of 6G applications and networking environments. Its design principles, self-evolving and transformative potentials, and open issues are discussed. We also introduce two use cases applying the architecture to develop a delay-guaranteed routing protocol and a mobility-aware multi-path QUIC protocol for seamless handover in satellite networks.

In an ever-growing populous world, the automotive industry is faced with opportunities and challenges, which has been driving revolutionary changes to the automotive DNA. These involve an exponentially increasing electronic content and interconnected embedded (Cyber-Physical) systems, in contrast with the relatively simple stand-alone computing systems that once controlled basic engine and chassis functions. The realized advances in vehicle electrification, connectivity, and autonomous driving capabilities, when combined, will make our cars and trucks much different, more efficient, and much safer than those on the road today. In this talk, examples of new and emerging automotive features and systems will be discussed to show that these systems are evolving to become highly cyber-physical in nature, and perhaps represent some of the most sophisticated cyber-physical systems that exist. These technologies are considered foundational to future Intelligent Transportation Systems and have a huge potential to impact the industry and society. Before we get into such specific examples, the talk will quickly cover the motivations or market drivers which let the automotive systems to move into the CPS space.

The rapid increase in the integration of inverter-based resources (IBRs)/DERs has driven the grid transition to renewable energy, introducing challenges such as overvoltage, undervoltage, harmonics, and protection scheme failures. To manage these issues, the concept of hosting capacity (HC) was developed, defining the maximum amount of solar photovoltaics (PV) that can be accommodated by an electric grid without necessitating additional infrastructure changes. As countries worldwide adopt the goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, the rapid integration of IBRs is transforming the nature of grids globally. This webinar will explore strategies for maximizing distributed PV hosting capacity in regional 100% renewable (wind/PV) energy grids, considering technical constraints like power flow and voltage limits, as well as the uncertainties associated with renewable energy sources. Understanding and optimizing HC is crucial for effective power system planning and ensuring the reliability and quality of our future energy grids.

The Careers in Technology (CIT) virtual career panel consists of a group of industry leaders and experts who interact directly with the participants in a moderated Q&A session. In this way, participants gain insight into what the technology community considers valuable (skills, certifications, experience, etc.) so that they can better prepare for a career change or entry into a technology-related career. The participants of the Summer 2024 virtual panel are Marie Perry, Paul Carney and Radhika Kanubaddhi - you can find their bios below. Note: While the Careers in Tech Organizing Committee is exploring offering PDH for virtual sessions going forward, that effort is still in progress. As a result, we will be unable to offer PDH for this session, but expect to be able to do so in the near future.

From its early years as a global information infrastructure, the Internet, originally designed by and for the US Department of Defense, has been efficiently and effectively misused by various hate groups who often consider the US government their worst enemy. For example, it turned out that WWW played a critical role in the preparation of the 9/11 attacks both as a source of inspirational information and as a safe means of covert communication between the plotters. Shortly after the tragic events of 2001, our binational team of US and Israeli researchers started to explore the online activities of various hate groups. Initially, we developed a prototype of a monitoring system aimed at detecting the frequent visitors of terrorist websites, which may become influenced by terrorist propaganda and eventually develop into what we call today “the lone wolf attackers”. Shortly after, we focused on another, closely related question: what makes terrorist-generated propaganda content in various languages different from unbiased news reports discussing similar topics? Over the years, we developed prototypes of several additional text analysis tools such as text summarization algorithms, which can automatically summarize large amounts of untranslated content in any language, as well as AI tools for automated detection of metaphoric language. After presenting the motivational and ethical foundations of our research, I plan to describe some of our methods and finally, discuss past and future challenges in this important and fascinating domain.

The ability to simulate discharges has long been of interest, particularly to the circuit breaker and switch gear industries. Over the years, the breakdown of air has been heavily studied along with commonly used gases such as sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). However, as alternatives to SF6 were searched for, the need for a tool to simulate a discharge in an arbitrary gas became apparent. Ansys Charge Plus has long been able to simulate the breakdown of air. Recently, the capabilities of the tool have been expanded to be able to simulate the breakdown of any gas. Join us as we explore how the kinetic theory of plasmas was utilized for this development and what the new capabilities of the tool are.

Introduction to Semiconductor Molding Chris Masuyama Business Development Manager, TOWA USA Corporation Abstract: Molding technology started from early 1980s and developed to super advanced technology for generative AI server with large size Chiplet. The basic of mold technology is to melt resin and formulate the shape to finalize chip making process, but there are many process parameters to consider in two different approaches. This approach is the foundation of new emerging mold technologies including heterogenous integration, hybrid bonding, 2.5D and 3D packaging for wafer/panel level process. Through this presentation, basic knowledge of molding process will be discussed and provide foundation for molding technologies with different technologies.
