Many physics laws and mathematical rules are insensitive to order. For example, the addition of numbers disregards the sequence order, e.g., 1+2+3=3+1+2. However, such a commutative property does not always hold. When the outcomes of a set of operations depend on the execution order, they can become “non-Abelian.” In the 20th century, non-Abelian mathematical frameworks have played profound roles in formulating many fundamental laws of modern physics. Famous examples include the classification of hadrons and the unification of electro-weak interactions. Classical physics, such as mechanics, electromagnetism, and optics, were well established before non-Abelian theories came into play. However, this does not mean non-Abelian effects are absent in the classical world. One prominent example is a Rubik’s Cube—the moves made on the cube do not always commute: two sequential moves done in different orders do not necessarily get the color palettes to the same layout. We then ask: how and when non-Abelian phenomena arise in classical waves? Delving into this question, our recent works leverage Berry-phase matrices, which capture the adiabatic evolution of multiple states, to realize non-Abelian braiding in acoustics and photonics . Here, the braiding operations are implemented using coupled waveguide arrays, which are adiabatically modulated along the guiding direction to enforce a multi-state Berry-phase matrix that swaps the modal dwell sites. The evolution of the guiding modes maps to the generators of braid groups. The non-Abelian characteristics are revealed by switching the order of two distinct braiding operations involving at least three modes. Our results offer new perspectives in exploring novel wave-controlling schemes for future technological applications . Z.-G. Chen, R.-Y. Zhang, C. T. Chan, and G.

This talk highlights the next generation of wireless power transfer (WPT) network concept that is scalable, safe, and efficient and can be deployed in a UAS by incorporating waveform engineering, electromechanical beamforming, integrated phased-array antenna, and transmitter (TX)/receiver (RX) co-design. Although interest in radiative (far-field) WPT using beamforming has been growing rapidly because of its capability to energize a large number of autonomous devices, most of these works are still in the theoretical phase without any practical implementation. This talk presents the implementation of a distributed beamforming network using a bottom-up approach (from the antenna to the inter-connected network) that is highly important for addressing the challenges associated with a dynamically changing environment. Practical system-level implementation strategies and multi-scale and multi-technique approaches to building a resilient WPT network for UAVs will be discussed. First, the challenges associated with the dual approach of electrical beamforming and the mechanical steering of the TX antennas to maximize the RF-RF link efficiency will be discussed. Secondly, an investigation of the efficient rectifier circuitry designed on-chip as well as commercial off-the-shelf components (COTS) to maximize the power conversion efficiency RF-DC efficiency will be presented. Finally, future research directions on increasing the power transfer distance to scale up the amount of power delivered to the load for the proposed wireless power beaming network system will be highlighted.

[] On this celebratory IEEE Day, let us rejoice in the combined IEEE worldwide activities of 39 technical societies and 7 interdisciplinary councils on one side of the IEEE coin, balanced with local sections and student chapters, bringing a physical presence of IEEE to local communities. By the way, one could argue that IEEE also has a 3rd leg into humanitarian activities. These S/C span a great swathe from hardware to software, including electronic devices, solar/wind energy production, power transmission, control theory, image compression, signal processing, and computer architecture. One could say this moves from applied physics to applied math. However, this session drills down to predominantly 1 of these societies, the electron device society, where the field of semiconductor materials and devices thrives. So, with the USA's Chips and Science Act to onshore semiconductor chip manufacturing, what does this mean to you and your communities. First, the Chips portion supports semiconductor companies to build or expand domestic chip production. The Science portion aims to perform workforce development to populate those factories. Where will this new workforce come from and what do you need to do to prepare for your future? This talk aims to take a critical look at the opportunities before you in the semiconductor industry. With time permitting and audience interest, some discussion in humanitarian roles IEEE plays will also be discussed. Speaker(s): Paul Berger, PhD Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/434305

Abstract: Our world is filled with pernicious problems. How, for example, did novice pilots learn to fly without taking to the air and risking their lives? How should cities process mountains of waste without polluting the environment? Challenges that tangle personal, public, and planetary aspects―often occurring in health care, infrastructure, business, and policy―are known as wicked problems, and they are not going away anytime soon. In linked chapters focusing on key facets of systems engineering―efficiency, vagueness, vulnerability, safety, maintenance, and resilience―engineer Guru Madhavan illuminates how wicked problems have emerged throughout history and how best to address them in the future. He examines best-known tragedies and lesser-known tales, from the efficient design of battleships to a volcano eruption that curtailed global commerce, and how maintenance of our sanitation systems constitutes tikkun olam, or repair of our world. Braided throughout is the uplifting tale of Edwin Link, an unsung hero who revolutionized aviation with his flight trainer. In Link’s story, Madhavan uncovers a model mindset to engage with wickedness. An homage to society’s innovators and maintainers, (https://www.amazon.com/Wicked-Problems-Engineer-Better-World/dp/0393651460/ref=sr_1_1)offers a refreshing vision for readers of all backgrounds to build a better future and demonstrates how engineering is a cultural choice―one that requires us to restlessly find ways to transform society, but perhaps more critically, to care for the creations that already exist. Bio: Guru Madhavan is the Norman R. Augustine Senior Scholar and senior director of programs at the National Academy of Engineering, and his books include Applied Minds: How Engineers Think and Wicked Problems: How to Engineer a Better World.

As cyber threats become more advanced, traditional security models struggle to keep up with protecting modern networks. The Zero Trust framework, based on the idea of verifying and authorizing access at every step, regardless of user location or device, offers a solid solution. Adding Artificial Intelligence to this approach makes it even more effective by enabling smarter threat detection, continuous monitoring, and adaptive security measures. This talk looks at how AI improves zero-trust networks, focusing on AI algorithms like Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) that can track network behavior over time to spot unusual activity and potential threats. AI also helps prioritize which threats need the most attention using risk scoring, making it easier to handle the most serious risks first. With AI-powered monitoring, even small security issues can be detected and addressed in real time, improving response times and overall protection. Combining AI with Zero Trust creates a more flexible and robust security system, ready to tackle the ever-changing challenges in cybersecurity.

This dynamic session uses case studies drawn from the IEEE community to help you dramatically improve your ability to use hybrid work as an instrument to improve retention and productivity while cutting costs. Many leaders rely on traditional office-centric collaboration and leadership styles in managing hybrid teams. Yet research conclusively demonstrates that, instead of incrementally improving on the old-school office-centric approach, the best outcomes in managing hybrid teams come from adopting a flexible hybrid-first work model. Doing so results in much higher retention and productivity, reduces costs, and boosts engagement, innovation, collaboration, and risk mitigation. Through adopting hybrid work best practices based on this training, you will empower yourself and your team to maximize retention, productivity, and cost savings in our increasingly-disrupted future of work. All attendees will have an opportunity to receive a complimentary copy of the speaker's best-selling book on which this talk is based, called Returning to the Office and Leading Hybrid and Remote Teams.

Abstract: As device technologies evolve and continue to shrink, manufacturing methods are also being stressed, which can impact yields due to ESD performance. ESD test standards are continuing to evolve as well to meet these changes. However as complex devices such as 3D packing with 1000s of Die to Die interconnects become more widely used, this is challenging the “standard” way ESD testing is performed. Another point of interest for system level testing, is call for a Direct Pin Injection test method. Although the most widely used system level testing standard, IEC 61000-4-2 standard recommends not performing testing on pins of a connector, many manufacturers are being forced to perform this test. We’ll discuss the Industry Councils on ESD Target Levels approaches to this testing requirement.

As the demand for high-performance computing continues to surge, driven largely by advances in artificial intelligence and other data-intensive applications, the semiconductor industry faces growing challenges in meeting these requirements. Traditional approaches, constrained by the slowing of Moore’s Law and the end of Dennard Scaling, are proving inadequate in addressing the exponential increase in compute and bandwidth needs. Silicon Photonics is emerging as a key technology to overcome these limitations. By leveraging the unique properties of silicon for optical communication, Silicon Photonics can offer significant improvements in data transmission speeds and energy efficiency compared to conventional electrical interconnects. This technology has the potential to reduce latency and power consumption, making it a compelling solution for next-generation data centers and high-performance computing systems. Advanced Packaging Technologies are equally critical in this evolving landscape. As chips become more complex and power-hungry, innovative packaging solutions such as chiplets and advanced integration methods are essential to manage power consumption and thermal issues while enhancing performance. These technologies enable more efficient use of silicon area, improved thermal management, and higher bandwidth connections between components. In this talk, we will explore how Silicon Photonics and advanced packaging technologies are not just complementary but essential to addressing the challenges of future compute demands. We will discuss the current state of these technologies, their potential to transform the semiconductor industry, and the ongoing efforts to integrate them into scalable, high-performance systems Speaker(s): Sandeep Sane, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/433612

IEEE MIT Undergraduate Research Technology Conference (URTC) will be hosting the 2024 MIT Micromouse Competition on Saturday, October 12, 2024 at 6:00pm to 8:30pm. Competition Guideline: (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oug6NgCnbRZzPLArwnRas28Y0ZIDwEHq/view?usp=drive_link) A Micromouse is a small robot vehicle that is able to navigate its way through an unknown maze. It is autonomous, battery-operated and self-contained, encompassing computer technology, robotics and artificial intelligence. The main challenge for the Micromouse designers is to import the Micromouse with an adaptive intelligence which enables exploration of different maze configurations, and to work out the optimum route with the shortest run time from start to destination and back. In addition, the Micromouse must reliably negotiate the maze at a very high speed without crashing into the maze walls. The objective of the competition is to build a Micromouse that can negotiate a specified maze in the shortest time. All IEEE Student Members and Graduate Student Members are eligible to participate. High School Students (non-IEEE Member) are also welcome to participate, but they need to attend a 30 minutes introduction session about IEEE and how IEEE can help them when they are an Undergraduate Student at a college. Whether your Micromouse is not quite functioning, or you have no Micromouse yet, you are welcome to participate. Besides the usual awards towards the fastest maze solvers, there is an award for the best Micromouse design. This contest will focus on the overall design as demonstrated by an oral presentation. Although there is no specific format required for the presentation, the following guidelines should be used for preparing for the presentation. The team should plan to address the following points in the presentation: ❖ Overall design goals and strategies ❖ High level structure of the design (mechanical, control) ❖ Design choices for sub functions (locomotion, sensing, etc) ❖ Overview of software ❖ Implementation and testing process and results ❖ Conclusions We encourage groups to feature the most innovative part (coding, mechanical design, etc) during the design presentation. You can give the Oral Presentation while running your micromouse. Each presentation/micromouse run will be 5 minutes, with another up to 5 minutes for questions. Please help to promote the MIT Micromouse competition and encourage your students or friends to participate. If you, school robotics club or IEEE Student Branch have been working on designing and building a Micromouse project/program, this competition at MIT will be a great venue to celebrate your achievement and what you have learnt. If you have not worked on Micromouse, and you are interested to develop one, you should start now. It is only about 3 weeks left to the competition. But it is not too late to start the development. You are allowed to get a robot kit and do your best to build and program your Micromouse to solve the maze. You should still consider participating this year competition even your Micromouse is not fully function or is not moving. There is a judging award for Best Design Micromouse and Innovative Program, and the Micromouse does not have to perform well in the maze.

Medical images constitute a core portion of the information physicians utilize to render diagnostic and treatment decisions. At a fundamental level, the diagnostic process involves two aspects – visually inspecting the image (perception) and rendering an interpretation (cognition). Key indications of expert interpretation of medical images are consistent, accurate and efficient diagnostic performance, but how do we know when someone has attained the level of training required to be considered an expert? How do we know the best way to present images to the clinician to optimize accuracy and efficiency? Artificial intelligence schemes are being developed to assist with medical image acquisition, interpretation, and treatment decision-making, but to optimize and integrate these tools into everyday clinical routines, we need to consider both the technology and the human part of the human-technology interface equation. The advent of digital imaging and associated tools in many clinical specialties, including radiology, pathology, and dermatology, has dramatically changed the way that clinicians view images, how residents are trained, and thus potentially the way they interpret image information, emphasizing our need to understand how clinicians interact with the information in an image during the interpretation process. With improved understanding using tools such as eye-tracking we can develop ways to further improve decision-making and thus improve patient care.

The number of connected devices is expected to reach 500 billion by 2030, which is 59-times larger than the expected world population. Objects will become the dominant users of next-generation communications and sensing at untethered, wireline-like broadband performance, bandwidths, and throughputs. This sub-terahertz 6G communication and sensing will integrate security and intelligence. It will enable a 10x to 100x increase in peak data rates. FPGAs are well positioned to enable intelligent radios for 6G when coupled with high-performance chiplets incorporating RF circuits, data converters, and digital baseband circuits incorporating machine learning and security. This talk presents use of 2.5D and 3D heterogeneous integration of FPGAs with chiplets, leveraging Intel’s EMIB/Foveros technologies with focus on one emerging application driver: FPGA-based 6G sub-THz intelligent wireless systems. Nano-, micro-, and macro-3D heterogeneous integration is summarized, and previous research in 2.5D chiplet integration with FPGAs is leveraged to forge a path towards new 3D-FPGA based 6G platforms. Challenges in antenna, packaging, power delivery, system architecture design, thermals, and integrated design methodologies/tools are briefly outlined. Opportunities to standardize die-to-die interfaces for modular integration of internal and external circuit IPs are also discussed.

A major hurdle in developing next-generation systems for high-performance applications and industries that require handling large, secure data - such as System-in-Package (SiP) and System-on-Chip (SoC) - is the absence of low-latency, high-bandwidth, and high-density off-chip/chiplet/core interconnects. Achieving high-bandwidth chip-to-chip (or chiplet-to-chiplet) communication using electrical interconnects faces challenges like high substrate dielectric losses, reflections, impedance discontinuities, and susceptibility to crosstalk. This underscores the motivation to adopt photonics to address these challenges and enable low-latency, high-bandwidth communication. The objective is to develop a CMOS-compatible technology to support the next-generation photonic layer within 3D SiP/SoC, moving towards converged microsystems.

CubeSat, a modular type of standardized modern small satellites, have been gaining steady popularity and attention from universities and space industries. In addition to education purpose, CubeSats have various promising applications as low-cost space exploration vehicles for technology demonstrations, multi-point observations of space environment, and monitoring/reporting proper deployment of expensive deep space instruments. Antennas are critical components for CubeSat missions. A CubeSat antenna may provide some or all of the following functions: telemetry, tracking, command (TT\&C), high speed downlink for payload data, receiving positioning data, and inter-satellite cross links. Most often, different antennas are required to keep the CubeSat assembly in modular fashion. On the other hand, antenna engineers strive to create solutions that could pack more functionality into one unit. This brings up a need to understand basics of CubeSat development cycle and link budget analysis, so that an electrical engineer would have sound knowledge of limiting factors (posed by the mechanical system and hardware of a CubeSat) to the antennas design. With rapid advancement of electronics, novel mechanical design, and aerospace technology, new progress in CubeSats is emerging every day. This calls for interests and early involvements of creative young minds. The objective of this presentation is to convey the basics of CubeSat development cycle, launch methods, typical CubeSat orbits, link budget analysis, various antenna solutions, and feasible classroom projects. This lecture is open to everyone and IEEE membership is not required.

In the past decade, the global shift towards addressing climate change has highlighted the electric grid as a critical enabler in achieving net-zero emissions. Electrification demands from sectors like transportation and buildings rely heavily on a resilient, reliable grid—especially as extreme weather events, such as wildfires and hurricanes, increasingly challenge its stability. Ensuring continuous power during these events is crucial, both for maintaining infrastructure and minimizing disruption to daily life. As a result, stakeholders across governments, utilities, and regulatory bodies are focusing more than ever on policies and initiatives to enhance grid resiliency. However, a fundamental question arises: how do we effectively measure grid resiliency? Developing metrics that assess the grid's ability to withstand and recover from extreme weather events is essential to ensure progress. This talk will introduce a comprehensive resiliency metric framework, designed to evaluate the grid's performance in adverse weather conditions. The metrics fall under two categories: System Performance, which assesses the grid's ability to endure extreme events, and Operational Performance, measuring its recovery capacity. Through this framework, we can better understand, measure, and enhance the resilience of our electric distribution grid. Speaker(s): Shikhar Pandey Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/436242

The class material is mostly from the highly-regarded and free online book “Neural Networks and Deep Learning” by Michael Nielsen, plus additional material such as some proofs of fundamental equations not provided in the book. More from the book introduction: Reference book: “Neural Networks and Deep Learning” by Michael Nielsen, http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com/ “We’ll learn the core principles behind neural networks and deep learning by attacking a concrete problem: the problem of teaching a computer to recognize handwritten digits. …it can be solved pretty well using a simple neural network, with just a few tens of lines of code, and no special libraries.” “But you don’t need to be a professional programmer.” The code provided is in Python, which even if you don’t program in Python, should be easy to understand with just a little effort. Benefits of attending the series: * Learn the core principles behind neural networks and deep learning. * See a simple Python program that solves a concrete problem: teaching a computer to recognize a handwritten digit. * Improve the result through incorporating more and more core ideas about neural networks and deep learning. * Understand the theory, with worked-out proofs of fundamental The demo Python program (updated from version provided in the book) can be downloaded from the speaker’s GitHub account. The demo program is run in a Docker container that runs on your Mac, Windows, or Linux personal computer; we plan to provide instructions on doing that in advance of the class. (That would be one good reason to register early if you plan to attend, in order that you can receive the straightforward instructions and leave yourself with plenty of time to prepare the Git and Docker software that are widely used among software professionals.)

The first course is complete by itself and covers a feedforward neural network (but not convolutional neural network in Part 1). It will be a pre-requisite for the planned Part 2 second course. The class material is mostly from the highly-regarded and free online book “Neural Networks and Deep Learning” by Michael Nielsen, plus additional material such as some proofs of fundamental equations not provided in the book. Outline: - Feedforward Neural Networks - Simple (Python) Network to classify a handwritten digit - Learning with Stochastic Gradient Descent - How the backpropagation algorithm work - Improving the way neural networks learn: - - Cross-entropy cost function - SoftMax activation function and log-likelihood cost function - Rectified Linear Unit - Overfitting and Regularization: - - L2 regularization - Dropout - Artificially expanding data set Pre-requisites: There is some heavier mathematics in learning the four fundamental equations behind backpropagation, so a basic familiarity with multivariable calculus and matrix algebra is expected, but nothing advanced is required. (The backpropagation equations can be also just accepted without bothering with the proofs since the provided Python code for the simple network just make use of the equations.) Basic familiarity with Python or similar computer language. Speaker(s): CL Kim, Boston, Massachusetts, United States, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/414504
