Documentary Night: Ludwig Boltzmann
Documentary Night: Ludwig Boltzmann
Ludwig Eduard Boltzmann (20 February 1844 – 5 September 1906) was an Austrian physicist and philosopher. His greatest achievements were the development of statistical mechanics, and the statistical explanation of the second law of thermodynamics. Statistical mechanics is one of the pillars of modern physics. It describes how macroscopic observations (such as temperature and pressure) are related to microscopic parameters that fluctuate around an average. It connects thermodynamic quantities (such as heat capacity) to microscopic behavior, whereas, in classical thermodynamics, the only available option would be to measure and tabulate such quantities for various materials. Ludwig Boltzmann's contributions to physics and philosophy have left a lasting impact on modern science. His pioneering work in statistical mechanics and thermodynamics laid the foundation for some of the most fundamental concepts in physics. In 1877 he provided the current definition of entropy, Max Planck named the constant kB the Boltzmann constant. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Planck) in quantizing resonators in his (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Body) theory of radiation used (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann%E2%80%99s_constant) to describe the entropy of the system to arrive at his formula in 1900. However, Boltzmann's work was not always readily accepted during his lifetime, and he faced opposition from some of his contemporaries, particularly in regards to the existence of atoms and molecules. Nevertheless, the validity and importance of his ideas were eventually recognized, and they have since become cornerstones of modern physics. Here, we delve into some aspects of Boltzmann's legacy and his influence on various areas of science. AFTER the documentary - we can have a brief discussion session.

Documentary Night: The Sun Queen
Documentary Night: The Sun Queen
For nearly 50 years, chemical engineer and inventor Mária Telkes applied her prodigious intellect to harnessing the power of the sun. She designed and built the world’s first successfully solar-heated modern residence and identified a promising new chemical that, for the first time, could store solar heat like a battery. And yet, along the way, she was undercut and thwarted by her boss and colleagues — all men — at MIT. Despite these obstacles, Telkes persevered and, upon her death in 1995, held more than 20 patents. She is now recognized as a visionary pioneer in the field of sustainable energy. An unexpected and largely forgotten heroine, Telkes was remarkable in her vision and tenacity — a scientist and a woman in every way ahead of her time. Her research and innovations from the 1930s through the ‘70s continue to shape how we power our lives today AFTER the documentary - we can have a brief discussion session.

Hybrid – Regression and Time Series Mixture Approaches to Predict Resilience
Hybrid – Regression and Time Series Mixture Approaches to Predict Resilience
Resilience engineering is the ability to build and sustain a system that can deal effectively with disruptive events. Previous resilience engineering research focuses on metrics to quantify resilience and models to characterize system performance. However, resilience metrics are normally computed after disruptions have occurred and existing models lack the ability to predict one or more shocks and subsequent recoveries. To address these limitations, this talk presents three alternative approaches to model system resilience with statistical techniques based on (i) regression, (ii) time series, and (iii) a combination of regression and time series to track and predict how system performance will change when exposed to multiple shocks and stresses of different intensity and duration, provide structure for planning tests to assess system resilience against particular shocks and stresses and guide data collection necessary to conduct tests effectively. These modeling approaches are general and can be applied to systems and processes in multiple domains. A historical data set on job losses during the 1980 recessions in the United States is used to assess the predictive accuracy of these approaches. Goodness-of-fit measures and confidence intervals are computed and interval-based and point-based resilience metrics are predicted to assess how well the models perform on the data set considered. The results suggest that resilience models based on statistical methods such as multiple linear regression and multivariate time series models are capable of modeling and predicting resilience curves exhibiting multiple shocks and subsequent recoveries. However, models that combine regression and time series account for changes in performance due to current and time-delayed effects from disruptions most effectively, demonstrating superior performance in long-term predictions and higher goodness-of-fit despite increased parametric complexity.

Tech Talk : Systems Based on Ultrasonic MEMS: Commercialization and Future Directions
Tech Talk : Systems Based on Ultrasonic MEMS: Commercialization and Future Directions
Abstract: The increasing maturity of thin-film piezoelectric materials and the MEMS manufacturing ecosystem has enabled the rapid development of sensor systems based on piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (PMUTs). In this talk, I will describe work by my research group over the last decade to develop and commercialize PMUT-based systems for consumer electronics applications, starting with air-coupled PMUTs used for time-of-flight (ToF) range-finding and human presence sensing. These ToF sensors were commercialized by my startup, Chirp Microsystems (now part of TDK), and are used today in various products such as smart-locks, robot vacuum cleaners, and laptops. We subsequently developed an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor based on the monolithic integration of PMUTs with CMOS that is used for biometric authentication in consumer products today. A common feature of the ToF sensor and the fingerprint sensor is that they are systems that combine MEMS, integrated circuits, and algorithms. The ability to realize a complete ultrasonic system on chip (SoC) opens new research opportunities in areas such as portable medical imaging systems for point-of care ultrasound (POCUS) as well as wearable ultrasonic devices.

FOCUS Members of IEEE have been involved in the development of artificial intelligence since its inception. Since 2015 there has been a great effort to develop ethical guidelines for AI in the IEEE, leading to a series of documents on Ethically Aligned Design for Intelligent and Autonomous Systems, including analysis of ethically aligned design for business and education. In addition to these analysis and policy documents, IEEE's Standards Association has created a series of standards for the ethical use of AI, the 7000 standard series. These standards have influenced international AI and ethics public policy, including a Digital Services Framework Based on the Rights Principles for Children. In this talk we will look at IEEE's efforts in promoting and defining ethical design with AI and its applications in advancing technology for the benefit of humanity.

ASQ Binghamton PDM – DFTPM: Design for total productive maintenance – Michael D. Ford – Mar 14, 2024
About this event Have you ever tried to perform a seemingly simple auto repair, only to discover it requires special tools or the need to put your car on a lift? How many times has your computer slowed or crashed, resulting in endless hours on the phone or the need to bring it to a shop? Have you ever had to ask your kids, or grandkids, to help you reprogram the TV/VCR or restart an app on your smart device? This session will describe the value of design in developing products that the customer is able to conveniently and inexpensively service themselves. Participants will attain the following learning objectives: - Define and distinguish among the different types of maintenance (breakdown, preventive, predictive, etc.) - Understanding the role of engineering design in anticipating maintenance requirements - Appreciating the value-added approach of considering user-friendly repair (or not needing repair!) - Recognizing the conflict between extended product life cycles v. new product sales The facilitator will include case study examples from the automotive and health care environments. Keywords: breakdown maintenance, design for X, total productive maintenance Breakdown maintenance (aka corrective maintenance) – a type of maintenance used for equipment after equipment break down or malfunction is often most expensive – not only can worn equipment damage other parts and cause multiple damage, but consequential repair and replacement costs and loss of revenues due to down time during overhaul can be significant. (Source: Wikipedia.org) Design for X (DFX) – is a term and abbreviation used interchangeably in the existing literature, where the X in design for X is a variable which can have one of many possible values. (Source: Wikipedia.org) Total productive maintenance (TPM) - Total productive maintenance helps workers efficiently care for the equipment and machines they use. This can greatly reduce costs, including money and space tied up with spare parts inventory. (Source: ASQ.org) Co-sponsored by: Binghamton ASQ Speaker(s): , Michael D.

IEEE NY JOINT MTT AP PHO & NANO CHAPTER – IEEE DISTINGUISHED LECTURER SEMINAR: Physics-oriented Statistical Wave Analysis Integrating Order and Chaos
IEEE NY JOINT MTT AP PHO & NANO CHAPTER – IEEE DISTINGUISHED LECTURER SEMINAR: Physics-oriented Statistical Wave Analysis Integrating Order and Chaos
Abstract – Even though we are seeking the highest possible fidelity, the computer representation will not be the same compared to the real world. These uncertainties may arise from imprecise knowledge of the system, small differences in manufacturing, or numerical errors in the simulations. For integrable, regular wave systems, these small differences can be considered as local perturbations of the entire system. Hence, the numerical solution is still a very good approximation to the exact solution of the physical problem. However, the situation can be quite different in nonintegrable, wave-chaotic systems. The electromagnetic (EM) wave solutions can be extremely sensitive to details and initial conditions. Wave chaos concerns solutions of wave equations, which in the semiclassical limit or shortwavelength limit can be described by chaotic ray trajectories. One class of wave-chaotic problems is confined EM systems, e.g., the antennas and electronics within large and complicated enclosures. Wave propagation may undergo multiple reflections/scattering from boundaries and internal structures, thus leading to randomized phase, polarization, and direction of wave fields. In the short wavelength limit, the wave scattering process may exhibit chaotic ray dynamics, albeit the underline wave equation is linear. The extreme sensitivity and nonequilibrium nature make it a challenging task to analyze the statistical behavior of the EM devices - environment interaction. In this talk, we will discuss a new methodology based on the stochastic Green’s function (SGF) method. The SGF can be considered as a physics-oriented, statistical surrogate model for the solution of Maxwell’s Equations in the wave-chaotic media, derived from the physics of wave-chaotic dynamics and the mathematics of Wigner’s random matrix theory (RMT). Compared to existing statistical EM modeling approaches, the SGF rigorously resolves the coherent and incoherent propagations within a comprehensive form. Recently, we have also advanced the theory of SGF from the spatial domain (narrowband) to the spatio-temporal domain. The resulting space-time SGF characterizes both spatial and temporal variations and correlations of EM fields in high-frequency reverberation within confined EM environments. The work accomplishes a physics-oriented, mathematically tractable statistical wave model with diverse applications, including the mode-stirred reverberation chamber, information transmission in wave-chaotic indoor channels, statistical design of time-reversal systems, wavefront shaping and focusing, sensing and targeting.

Introduction to Neural Networks and Deep Learning (Part I)
Introduction to Neural Networks and Deep Learning (Part I)
Course Format: Live Webinar, 3.5 hours of instruction! Series Overview: From the book introduction: “Neural networks and deep learning currently provides the best solutions to many problems in image recognition, speech recognition, and natural language processing.” This Part 1 and the planned Part 2, (to be confirmed) series of courses will teach many of the core concepts behind neural networks and deep learning. This is a live instructor-led introductory course on Neural Networks and Deep Learning. It is planned to be a two-part series of courses. 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. 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.) Course Background and Content: This is a live instructor-led introductory course on Neural Networks and Deep Learning. It is planned to be a two-part series of courses. 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.)

EPIC AI Failures; Two AI Medical Case studies, MYCIN and WATSON
EPIC AI Failures; Two AI Medical Case studies, MYCIN and WATSON
EPIC AI Failures; Two AI Medical Case studies, MYCIN and WATSON Abstract: EPIC, describing AI Failures are carefully worded and selected and meant to consider the level of failure when understanding MYCIN, a significant and historical rules-based LISP expert system. MYCIN began in 1974 with a team of Stanford MD's and PhDs led by Bruce G. Buchanan and Edward H. Shortliffe, spanning 10 years of MYCIN experiments and culminating with a publication of the classic MYCIN AI study, "RULE-BASED EXPERT SYSTEMS: THE MYCIN EXPERIMENTS OF THE STANFORD HEURISTIC PROGRAMMING PROJECT" by Buchanan and Shortliffe. For my Masters work in the mid80's, I was given the assignment to read (748 pages!), write an analysis of this work, and to write in LISP a backward-chain inference engine. The book focused on the need for MD's to rapidly identify both the specific bacteria infection agent and corresponding antibiotics. Twenty two years after MYCIN was released and no longer used by MD’s, my sister, father, and mother were all victims of the lengthy time (~ 3 days) hospitals and labs required to incubate (in a petri dish) and identify both the infectious bacteria and the effective antibiotic. Three members of my family passed after 2 days and just before the answers came in from the lab. Hence my frustration. We are in the year 2024, and the same test was applied in the 80's but the number of effective antibiotics is reduced! In some cases, referenced to the number zero. IBM's WATSON was introduced in 2011 as the AI question-answering computer that beat Ken Jennings in "Jeopardy". IBM focused WATSON on answering significant medical problems and we will discuss why this system failed even after IBM spent over 60 million dollars and created Medical partnerships. To end on a positive note, we will mention embedded ML and prove smart sensors have been measurably successful. You will find this well-referenced speech fascinating!

T-1 (ED 115): Low Energy Sensor Platform – Leveraging Machine Learning
Low Energy Sensor Platform - Leveraging Machine Learning Abstract: Applications of embedded AI, specifically ML (Machine Learning) and object classification has been growing exponentially as decision logic moves to the edge. Proven advantages of low energy consumption, low costs, and independent target classification drive this implementation and is transforming smart city management, agriculture, medical, health care, bridge and building structure health management (SHM), and smart logistics just to name a few game-changing applications. Several specific ML applications will be discussed including a vision ML application applied to logistics, a remote visual cargo classification smart sensor (currently in production). Challenges of a small vs. large CNN model when improving object identification and accuracy will also be discussed and why ML at the network edge is a game-changer. Finally, we will compare and contrast the AI categories of large language models and the energy-constrained tiny ML sensor models.

Thermal-Centric Design Methodologies for Monolithic 3D Integrated Circuits
Thermal-Centric Design Methodologies for Monolithic 3D Integrated Circuits
Vertical integration has emerged as a game-changer technology to achieve higher device density, functional heterogeneity, and shorter wirelengths for intra-chip communication. Among various 3D technologies, monolithic 3D (M3D) ICs achieve unprecedented device and interconnect density due to sequential fabrication of multiple device tiers and vertical interconnects with diameters in the range of tens of nanometers. A fundamental challenge in dense integration technologies is the effective consideration of thermal constraints during the design process. In the first part of this talk, I will first provide a brief overview of 3D technologies, highlighting the recent advances and challenges related to the fabrication processes. I will then discuss the unique thermal characteristics of M3D ICs, describing the major differences with through silicon via (TSV) based 3D ICs. These results will rely on thermal simulations of M3D systems by leveraging a process design kit and cell library that we developed. I will also present a thermal-centric design optimization methodology for M3D integrated deep neural network (DNN) accelerators and demonstrate how technology-dataflow co-design can achieve an order of magnitude improvement in inference per second per Watt per footprint. In the second part of the talk, I will focus on the thermal crosstalk among the tiers and how such crosstalk can be used by an adversary to establish high bandwidth thermal covert-channels. I will finish the talk by proposing a new technique to dynamically detect such thermal covert-channels in M3D ICs.

Optimizing ORAN Security Design and Considerations
Optimizing ORAN Security Design and Considerations
The security challenges confronting Open RAN are like those faced by contemporary RAN systems and other virtualized architectures. The division of functions in Open RAN expands the potential threat landscape. When implementing security measures, such as encryption, on the Open Fronthaul Interface, it is essential to consider the stringent latency requirements of the RAN. The growing reliance on open-source software in modern telecommunications platforms underscores the importance of secure development practices within open-source communities for Open RAN. In addition, the integration of AI in the RAN introduces the possibility of unforeseen consequences, as observed in other domains (e.g., racially biased facial recognition). Additionally, the substantial increase in IoT devices necessitates that all RAN deployments guard against the rising risk of attacks by compromised devices. Acknowledging these potential security challenges and recognizing the paramount importance of a secure RAN, this presentation will outline security requirements and solutions that empower the O-RAN architecture to deliver the expected level of security for both the industry and 5G users. The discussion will also spotlight the efforts of the O-RAN ALLIANCE Security Task Group (STG) and O-RAN ALLIANCE Working Groups (WGs) in addressing security challenges across all O-RAN interfaces and components, specifying, and recommending modern, practical security solutions. *This event is being recorded Co-sponsored by: IEEE Future Networks Speaker(s): Taha Sajid Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/403461

IEEE-USA Livestream Webinar: Blockchain
Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that enables secure, transparent, and immutable recording of transactions across a network of computers. At its core, a blockchain consists of a chain of blocks, where each block contains a list of transactions. It requires network consensus to ensure validity. Once consensus is met, a block can be added to the ledger as an immutable record of transaction. This rather simple concept has already changed our transactional landscape a great deal since it emerged in popularity. Conceptually, blockchain technology has the potential to disrupt traditional systems, increase efficiency, transparency, and trust, and empower individuals and organizations across various domains. But, how did we get here? How is the history of Blockchain tied to Engineering and Technology? Is Blockchain only significant in the Data sciences and Computer Sciences Industries?

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)-Native Wireless Systems with Common Sense
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)-Native Wireless Systems with Common Sense
Special Presentation by Prof. Walid Saad (Virginia Tech, USA) Hosted by Future Networks Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (AIML) Working Group Date/Time: Thursday, March 21st, 2024 @ 12:00 UTC [] Topic: Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)-Native Wireless Systems with Common Sense Abstract: Next-generation wireless systems, such as 6G and beyond, are expected to tightly embed artificial intelligence (AI) into their design, giving rise to what is termed AI-native wireless systems. Remarkably, despite significant academic, industrial, and standardization efforts dedicated to AI-native wireless systems in the past few years, even the very definition of such systems remains ambiguous. Presently, most endeavors in this domain represent incremental extensions of conventional "AI for wireless" paradigms, employing classical tools like autoencoders, diffusion models, or large-language models to replicate established wireless functionalities. However, such approaches suffer from inherent limitations, including the opaque nature of the adopted AI models, their tendency toward curve-fitting, reliance on extensive training data, energy inefficiency, and limited generalizability to novel new, unseen scenarios and out-of-domain/out-of-distribution data points. To surmount these challenges, in this talk, we unveil a bold, pioneering framework for the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI)-native wireless systems. We particularly show how the fusion of wireless systems, digital twins, and AI can catalyze a transformative, revolutionary paradigm shift in both wireless and AI technologies by conceptualizing a next-generation AGI architecture imbued with "common sense" capabilities, akin to human cognition. This architecture is envisioned to empower networks with reasoning, planning, and other human-like cognitive faculties such as imagination and deep thinking. We first define the technical tenets of common sense and, subsequently, we demonstrate how the proposed AGI architecture can instill a new level of generalizability, explainability, and reasoning into tomorrow’s wireless networks, liberating them from their conventional physical constraints. We then discuss how AGI-native wireless systems can unleash novel use cases such as digital twins with analogical reasoning, resilient experiences for cognitive avatars, and brain-level holographic experiences. Following the establishment of the foundational principles and components of AGI-native wireless systems, we take a significant stride forward by forging a link with the emerging concept of semantic communications. In doing so, we demonstrate how the integration of causal reasoning (a key component of our AGI vision) with semantic communication can usher in a new era of knowledge-driven, reasoning AGI-native wireless systems. These systems represent a major departure from today’s data-driven, knowledge-agnostic models, offering enhanced sustainability and resilience in their design and operation. We present our recent key results, rooted in AI, theory of mind, digital twins, and game theory, laying the groundwork for the realization of AGI-native wireless systems, and illustrating how our designed framework reduces data volume in networks while enhancing reliability, crucial for next-generation wireless services like connected intelligence and holography. We conclude with a discussion on the exciting opportunities in this field that can help redefine the intersection of wireless communications and AI.

This is a hands-on course combining pre-recorded lectures with live Q&A and workshop sessions in the popular and powerful open-source Python programming language. Pre-Recorded Videos: The course format has been updated to release pre-recorded video lectures that students can watch on their own schedule, and an unlimited number of times, prior to live Q&A workshop sessions on Zoom with the instructor. The videos will also be available to the students for viewing for up to two months after the conclusion of the course. Overview: Dan provides simple, straight-forward navigation through the multiple configurations and options, providing a best-practices approach for quickly getting up to speed using Python for modelling and analysis for applications in signal processing and digital design verification. Students will be using the Anaconda distribution, which combines Python with the most popular data science applications, and Jupyter Notebooks for a rich, interactive experience. The course begins with basic Python data structures and constructs, including key “Pythonic” concepts, followed by an overview and use of popular packages for scientific computing enabling rapid prototyping for system design. During the course students will create example designs including a sigma delta converter and direct digital synthesizer both in floating point and fixed point. This will include considerations for cycle and bit accurate models useful for digital design verification (FPGA/ASIC), while bringing forward the signal processing tools for frequency and time domain analysis. Jupyter Notebooks: This course makes extensive use of Jupyter Notebooks which combines running Python code with interactive plots and graphics for a rich user experience. Jupyter Notebooks is an open-source web-based application (that can be run locally) that allows users to create and share visually appealing documents containing code, graphics, visualizations and interactive plots. Students will be able to interact with the notebook contents and use “take-it-with-you” results for future applications in signal processing. Target Audience: This course is targeted toward users with little to no prior experience in Python, however familiarity with other modern programming languages and an exposure to object-oriented constructs is very helpful. Students should be comfortable with basic signal processing concepts in the frequency and time domain. Familiarity with Matlab or Octave is not required, but the equivalent operations in Python using the NumPy package will be provided for those students that do currently use Matlab and/or Octave for signal processing applications. Benefits of Attending / Goals of Course: Attendees will gain an overall appreciation of using Python and quickly get up to speed in best practice use of Python. All set-up information for the installation of all tools will be provided before the start of class.

Reading a talk by CM Jansky, Jr, IEEE President 1934 on his brother, Karl Guthe Jansky, PhD
[] Join us for a reading of a talk by CM Jansky, Jr "who was a participant at many conferences dealing with radio regulations, broadcast planning, and radio navigation and sea rescue. He became a member of the Institute of Radio Engineers (now the Institute of Electrical and Electronic engineers) in 1918, being made a Fellow Member in 1928. He was President of the Institute in 1934 and a member of its Board of Directors from 1929 to 1942. He was senior partner of the firm Jansky and Bailey, consulting radio engineers, of Washington, D.C." "Karl Guthe Jansky died in Red Bank, New Jersey in February, 1950 at the age of forty-four. In the trying period that followed his death I told the members of his family that his contribution to basic science was such that the full value of his discovery would not be recognized for at least half a century. How wrong can a man be! Here just six years later I found myself before a group of astronomers, physicists and radio engineers far more competent that I, viewing with amazement the progress which has taken place in recent years in a new branch of astronomy based upon a scientific discovery made by a man I am proud to say was my brother."

Jansky, Jr. (1895-1975) was born in Barry County, Michigan. After receiving the B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Wisconsin in 1917 and 1919, respectively, he taught radio communications and electronics at the University of Minnesota from 1920 to 1929, becoming associate professor of radio engineering. In 1920, he established the first radio broadcasting station west of the Mississippi River at Minneapolis, Minnesota. Mr. Jansky was a participant at many conferences dealing with radio regulations, broadcast planning, and radio navigation and sea rescue. He became a member of the Institute of Radio Engineers (now the Institute of Electrical and Electronic engineers) in 1918, being made a Fellow Member in 1928. He was President of the Institute in 1934 and a member of its Board of Directors from 1929 to 1942. He was senior partner of the firm Jansky and Bailey, consulting radio engineers, of Washington, D.C."

Terra North Jersey STEM Fair – IEEE Young Engineer Award 2024
Terra North Jersey STEM Fair – IEEE Young Engineer Award 2024
The TNJSF (formerly the NJRSF) is a science fair competition for high school students (grades 9-12) for students in ten counties of northern New Jersey. The mission of the TNJSF is to support, encourage, and recognize student involvement in scientific researh and engineering design. It is our belief that students can only truly appreciate the creative nature of the process if they have actually experienced it themselves. In addition, we endeavor to provide resources which further this overarching goal, including giving students various opportunities to interact with professional scientists and engineers. The opportunity to partake of the TNJSF itself as well as other resources we offer is intended to be open to all high school students in our northern NJ region. IEEE volunteers are needed for Special Awards Judging at the Fair Special awards judging takes place on Saturday morning. Judges are asked to arrive at the judges' room by 9:00 a.m. to determine their project assignments with their team and to receive instructions from the Judging Coordinator. Judging of projects takes place from 9:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. During this time, judges will meet with students at their project displays and evaluate their work. At least 2 judges on the award team should see each project under consideration. At 12:00 p.m., the judges reconvene in the judges' room to discuss the projects and determine which projects will be awarded. Judging of special awards is usually completed by 1:00 p.m. Volunteers use the registration link. Kean University, 1000 Morris Ave, Union, New Jersey, United States, 07083

IEEE Workshop on Network Automation, March 25th, 2024 (free virtual event)
IEEE Workshop on Network Automation, March 25th, 2024 (free virtual event)
IEEE Workshop on Network Automation, March 25th, 2024 (free virtual event) Network Disaggregation and Network Softwarization are revolutionizing the design, deployment, management, and operation of networks. The objective of Network Automation is to enable Service Providers to achieve "Zero Touch Provisioning" throughout the entire network, encompassing physical and virtual domains across Transport and Data Center Networks. The growing maturity of cloud technologies, coupled with the adoption of open-source software and DevOps/GitOps principles, is fostering an Open End-to-End Network Automation framework. Intent-based Networking is driving the demand for increased Network abstraction, while Network Slicing, particularly in the context of 5G, necessitates automation support at the granular level of Slices. Furthermore, Service Providers are harnessing Artificial Intelligence, including the latest advancements in Generative AI, to plan, deploy, configure, orchestrate, analyze, and assure mobile networks and services. This simultaneously enhances Network efficiency, reduces operating costs, and improves both service quality and customer experience. Underpinning these advancements, the IEEE Workshop on Network Automation is uniting leading experts from communication service providers, telco vendors, software service providers, open-source network automation projects, industry consortiums, and academia. They convene to discuss the latest technical innovations, opportunities, and challenges in Network Automation. Co-sponsored by IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Princeton Central Jersey Section, this single-day workshop offers a unique platform for Architects, Developers, Testers, Business Leaders, students, and researchers to gain insights into the evolving landscape of Network Automation technologies, deployment use cases, business models, and engage with industry experts.

Managing Risk Exposure in Renewable-Dominant Power System Operations and Electricity Markets
Managing Risk Exposure in Renewable-Dominant Power System Operations and Electricity Markets
The stochasticity of power injections from weather-dependent renewable energy resources challenges power system operations and increases the risk-exposure of electricity market participants. Defining safety regions for which any operative or market decision must be viable can be an effective and tractable tool to overcoming these challenges. Yet, designing such safety regions from historical data with respect to their impact on the quality of the decision risk is tricky. This seminar discusses two proposals for data-driven robust decision tools in renewable-dominant electric power systems that explicitly internalize probabilistic performance metrics of their solution. First, we discuss an approach to learn prescriptive safety regions for wind power generation. We leverage recent results from differentiable programming to create individual safety intervals for each wind generator that adapt to current grid situations such that they optimize an operator-defined risk target. Second, we discuss a method to internalize adversarial uncertainty sets in electricity market clearing such that consumer risk is minimized. We define these sets using a factor stressing approach inspired from financial engineering and show that consumer risk in terms of excess payments can be effectively reduced at a low overall system cost.

Tethered Ocean Profilers (TOPs)
Tethered Ocean Profilers (TOPs)
Tethered Ocean Profilers (TOPs) are a new innovation in observing the Arctic Ocean. The first TOPs were deployed during the Beaufort Gyre Exploration Project expedition in 2019. In some ways, TOPs are similar to Ice-Tethered Profilers – there is a profiler that collects data on temperature, salinity, and pressure with a surface package that transmits data onshore via satellite. In contrast to an ITP, TOPs travel up their wire until they bump the bottom of sea ice (compared to an ITP that doesn’t profile shallower than about 7 meters in depth), allowing for the sensors to collect temperature, salinity, and pressure data all the way to the ice-ocean interface – the upper most part of polar oceans that is vastly important with respect to understanding mixing processes and heat exchange between sea ice and the ocean below.

A Carative Approach to AI Governance
A Carative Approach to AI Governance
In recent times, we often hear a call for the governance of AI systems, but what does that really mean? In this talk, I will first adopt a control theory perspective to explain governance that determines the reference input via value alignment, data scientists acting as the controller to meet the values in a machine learning system, and facts captured in transparent documentation as the feedback signal. I will then adopt a nursing theory perspective to explain how the control theory perspective lacks caring and the need for a carative approach that starts with the real-world problem as experienced by the most vulnerable people. I will conclude with an example of a project on using machine learning to evaluate applicants for home solar panel systems in rural India as well as a discussion of governing large language models.

Pricing Designs Considering Environmental Constraints
Pricing Designs Considering Environmental Constraints
We study the problem of deriving financially adequate prices for trading a perishable commodity under a centralized auction with environmental considerations. Our model is based on an electricity market, with producers using conventional technologies with byproduct emissions; and environmentally clean producers subject to exogenous weather realizations, but lower emissions in production. For this purpose, we derive a new financially adequate market clearing pricing scheme. Unlike related financially adequate pricing schemes that only take into account the marginal market costs associated with market clearing commodity demands, the proposed pricing scheme also takes into account the marginal market costs associated with the market participants operating at maximum capabilities. The proposed pricing scheme allows to analyze the effects of environmental limitations in the market, as it internalizes, in the pricing signals, the costs or benefits associated with compliance of these limits by the market participants; and in particular, conventional technology producers including transit operators.

Documentary Night: The Sun Queen
Documentary Night: The Sun Queen
[]For nearly 50 years, chemical engineer and inventor Mária Telkes applied her prodigious intellect to harnessing the power of the sun. She designed and built the world’s first successfully solar-heated modern residence and identified a promising new chemical that, for the first time, could store solar heat like a battery. And yet, along the way, she was undercut and thwarted by her boss and colleagues — all men — at MIT. Despite these obstacles, Telkes persevered and, upon her death in 1995, held more than 20 patents. She is now recognized as a visionary pioneer in the field of sustainable energy. An unexpected and largely forgotten heroine, Telkes was remarkable in her vision and tenacity — a scientist and a woman in every way ahead of her time. Her research and innovations from the 1930s through the ‘70s continue to shape how we power our lives today AFTER the documentary - we can have a brief discussion session.
