Recent years have brought rapid advances in artificial intelligence technologies, expanding the capabilities of AI systems to applications in numerous new fields. At the same time, many countries around the world have experienced increasingly serious effects of climate change, in particular in the form of extreme weather events. As these two trends develop in parallel, a range of new opportunities and challenges related to AI and climate change are starting to emerge. On the one hand, AI could help mitigate the climate crisis, helping researchers find cheaper alternatives to decarbonize our economy and aid assessment of exposure to climate risks. On the other hand, the increased demand for energy due to AI data centers is impacting efforts to decarbonize our energy systems. On December 2, 2024, the Center on Regulation and Markets at Brookings and Duke University will host an event exploring these important topics at the intersection of climate change and AI. The event will feature a keynote fireside chat followed by two expert panels exploring the role of AI in climate change. Viewers can join the conversation and ask questions in advance by emailing [email protected] or on X @BrookingsEcon using the hashtag #AIandClimate. This event is a part of the Center on Regulation and Markets’ series on “Reimagining Modern-day Markets and Regulations.” https://www.brookings.edu/events/leveraging-artificial-intelligence-to-tackle-climate-change/ Speaker(s): , , Agenda: Please find the agenda at this meeting site: https://www.brookings.edu/events/leveraging-artificial-intelligence-to-tackle-climate-change/ Thank You Bldg: The Brookings Institution Falk Auditorium, 1775 Massachusetts Ave NW, washington dc, District of Columbia, United States, 20036, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/447245

Antenna or OTA measurements are blind. Knowing the detailed implementation of the device under test is not needed to realize them. They even include all production tolerances that might impact performance. However, measurements are limited to canonical test environments, e.g. in anechoic chambers. Simulations, on the contrary, can give access to electromagnetic fields in practically any scenario. Yet, simulations are only as good as the knowledge of the very details of the radiation source. What if one could unite the two and benefit from the combined strengths of experimental and numerical techniques? This talk shows how to enable this with the augmented OTA approach, involving the creation of an antenna digital twin, based on actual measured data. Practical applications are demonstrated, including field characterization inside the car and EMF assessments with virtual human models. This lecture is open to everyone and IEEE membership is not required.

Hydro-Québec is working on the development of a prognostic approach for hydrogenerators based on the combination of a physics-based model, which integrates all failure mechanisms in a graphical form, and data-based models adapted to the types of diagnostic tools. The failure mechanism graph, which has been defined by a group of experts, consists of several cause-and-effect chains formed by the grouping of sequential physical degradation states that ultimately lead to a failure state. Knowing the transition function between each pair of physical degradation states, it becomes possible to estimate the time required to reach the failure state for a given failure mechanism. The first essential step of this approach is to automatically identify the active failure mechanisms based on the analysis of observable symptoms extracted from diagnostic tools. For the stator winding of hydrogenerators, over 100 failure mechanisms have been consigned, most of which involve the presence of partial discharge (PD) activity. Analysis of each individual PD source is therefore essential to understanding the behavior and evolution of these failure mechanisms. This presentation will highlight the development carried out to automatically identify the active failure mechanisms for the stator winding, the diagnostic tools as well as the in-house integrated diagnostic application called DIAAA, and the methodology developed to recognize each active PD source using PDA and PRPD results.

Given the life-critical functions performed by many medial implantable devices, and the invasive procedure required to implant medical equipment properly in the human body, it is imperative that all medical devices are designed to function reliably throughout their entire lifetime. But this can be challenging as medical implantable devices are made up of many individual parts, including a variety of electronic components such as multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). This means MLCC manufacturers today are not only tasked with responding to the demand for product miniaturization, they also need to be sure their MLCCs can meet the high-reliability expectations for these life-critical applications. In this white paper, we dive more into how to overcome the challenges associated with ensuring the reliability of electronic components designed for medical devices by covering the following topics: - Design considerations for using MLCCs in medical implantable devices - How to work with suppliers to properly test and screen MLCCs for high reliability - How Knowles Precision Devices designs, tests, and continues to innovate on our MLCCs to meet all the key requirements of the medical device industry, including high reliability Speaker(s): Greg Alton Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/429460

Emotion has a substantial influence on learning, attention, memory, and problem solving. This talk describes artificial intelligence tools that detect emotion, provide one-on-one assistance during online learning, and adjust their responses to each student's learning level. Problems are modulated and responses generated based on motivating students and advancing learning. Inferences about student knowledge are derived from predictive learning models based on students' faces, gestures, and emotions to make decisions about the next best intervention (e.g., provide video, reduce difficulty of math problem). These tutoring systems can: - Perform continuous assessment and they can sleuth the students' responses to address student performance and emotion in real-time. - Create computer-generated synthetic partners and personalized video content. For example, the tools will shortly be able to generate special computational characters. These generated characters may perhaps work more efficiently than do human tutors. - Create avatars to answer student queries, provide explanations, assist in problem solving and teach about social awareness and relationship skills. Cross-modal generative AI will provide ChatGPT-4 responses including hints, explanations, data-driven insights and recommendations. Understanding the role that emotions play in learning and teaching has supported the design and deployment of more effective online tools and learning experiences. This talk will identify the differential impact of AI tutors on student achievement, self-efficacy, and social emotional learning.

Abstract – This talk focuses on the interaction of electromagnetic waves with metamaterials and manipulating the polarization state of light, which are essential for on-chip photonics and quantum information processing. By designing a metasurface based on geometrical-scaling-induced phase modulations, the transformation and distribution of different polarization-entangled photon pairs have been realized with multichannel dielectric metasurfaces. This is a significant development in applying metasurface to quantum networks. We also show a strategy to overcome the fundamental limit of polarization multiplexing capacity of metasurfaces by introducing the engineered noise to the precise solution of Jones matrix elements, where the conventional restriction of polarization multiplexing roots from the dimension constraint of the Jones matrix. This approach implies a new paradigm for high-capacity optical display, information encryption, and data storage. As a practical application, we also present a metasurface that achieves a matte appearance in reflection while offering broadband, perfect transmission, showcasing its potential for various optical technologies.

Neuromorphic computing or brain-inspired computing is considered as a potential solution to overcome the energy inefficiency of the von Neumann architecture for artificial intelligence applications -. In order to realize spin-based neuromorphic computing practically, it is essential to design and fabricate electronic analogues of neurons and synapses. An electronic analogue of a synaptic device should provide multiple resistance states. A neuron device should receive multiple inputs and should provide a pulse output when the summation of the multiple inputs exceeds a threshold. We have been carrying out investigations on the design and development of various synaptic and neuron devices in our laboratory. Domain wall (DW) devices based on magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), where the DW can be moved by spin-orbit torque, are suitable candidates for the fabrication of synaptic and neuron devices . Spin-orbit torque helps in achieving DW motion at low energies whereas the use of MTJs helps in translating DW position information into resistance levels (or voltage pulses) . This talk will summarize various designs of synthetic neurons synaptic elements and materials . The first half of the talk will be at an introductory level, aimed at first-year graduate students.

Imaging, Sensing, and Wearable Devices Using Nanophotonic Platforms Abstract – Personalized health emphasizes prevention and early diagnosis over solely tailoring therapies. My lab’s nanophotonic approaches center on developing precision tools to detect biomarkers, imaging molecular interaction functions, and designing sustainable wearable devices. In this talk, I will highlight two research areas: ultrafast optical force nanoscopy and wearable metasurface sensors. I will introduce Decoupled Optical Force Nanoscopy (Dofn), a technique that addresses current limits in nanoparticle thermal profiling by enabling nanosecond temporal and nanometer spatial resolutions. Dofn also offers a non-invasive way to identify cell membrane molecules without purification. Next, I will discuss wearable metasurface-enabled sensors for wireless charging of implanted devices. Tested on live animals, this technology demonstrates a tenfold power enhancement, enabling long-term tracking of brain activity. These innovations mark significant strides in wearable sensing for personalized health. Super-resolution PAUL Brain Imaging for Guiding Blood-brain Barrier Modulation Abstract – The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a formidable obstacle in delivering therapeutic agents to the brain, blocking nearly all potential treatments for neurological diseases. Focused ultrasound (FUS) offers an exciting solution by temporarily opening the BBB to allow targeted drug delivery. Yet, understanding the safety and effectiveness of this approach remains a major challenge. Traditional brain imaging modalities fall short—they either lack the resolution or the sensitivity needed to monitor subtle changes in BBB permeability and the resulting hemodynamic responses. In this talk, I’ll introduce a groundbreaking multimodality imaging approach: PAUL imaging. By integrating the molecular sensitivity of photoacoustic imaging with the microvascular detail of super-resolution ultrasound localization—and further enhancing it with deep learning—PAUL imaging delivers fast, high-resolution insights into BBB permeability and cerebral hemodynamics. This powerful platform provides a transformative tool for advancing brain-drug delivery and uncovering the biological impacts of BBB modulation, opening new avenues in the treatment of neurological disorders.

This presentation explores the dynamics of wide-area oscillations in power grids and their impact on grid stability, particularly under high penetration of Inverter-Based Resources (IBR). This is part of ongoing three-year research project, Wide-Area Oscillation Assessment and Trending Analysis, funded by DOE Office of Electricity Advanced Grid Modeling program. Wide-area oscillations carry crucial information about system stability. While well-damped oscillations are often contained, strong oscillations can signal impending stability issues, reducing system performance, increasing equipment wear, and potentially causing generation tripping or grid breakup. Adequate damping of key oscillation modes is essential for reliable grid operation. Co-sponsored by: CH06148 Speaker(s): Ning, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/440773

This is part of ongoing three-year research project, Wide-Area Oscillation Assessment and Trending Analysis, funded by DOE Office of Electricity Advanced Grid Modeling program. Wide-area oscillations carry crucial information about system stability. While well-damped oscillations are often contained, strong oscillations can signal impending stability issues, reducing system performance, increasing equipment wear, and potentially causing generation tripping or grid breakup. Adequate damping of key oscillation modes is essential for reliable grid operation. Conventional analysis has focused on large synchronous generators, but the rising penetration of renewable generation and active loads is driving observable changes in oscillatory behavior. A systematic study reveals that high IBR penetration correlates with lower damping ratios of inter-area modes, while heavier loads correlate with lower oscillation frequencies. Without proper control and coordination, high IBR penetration could exacerbate these oscillations, posing risks to grid stability. To mitigate these risks, we developed and tested control strategies for IBRs to improve oscillation damping. Leveraging our prior experience in grid oscillation research, we focused on designing control algorithms for both grid-forming and grid-following IBRs. Study results show that these control strategies can enhance the stability of power grids with high renewable generation.
