Abstract: 2015: A Solution, Difficult, But Feasible… https://tinyurl.com/yafgmlmd 2025 - No More Time Methane releases from natural sinks like tundra, are larger than our well leakages. This is now in positive feedback (releases breed more releases) independent of us. Siberian and US/Canadian tundra, for instance, are releasing CH4 at accelerating rates partly due to our past CO2 emissions. What we must know to prevent oceanic extinctions, especially of O2 producers & CO2 sequesters, on track to occur by 2050. Speaker(s): Alex, Agenda: This is a virtual presentation via zoom.

[]Printed electronics has emerged as a versatile technique for on-demand fabrication of passives, interconnects, and active devices. Our group has recently extended this technique to create freeform devices in Three-Dimensional space that have opened exciting application areas for this technology. The manufacturing process for printed electronics, however, can suffer from process drifts and does not have an active feedback loop to fix errors. In this research, we develop a digital twin for aerosol jet 3D printing, a jetting-based method to create printed electronics to address this concern. This work, done in collaboration with an ECE faculty at CMU, matches observations with outcomes expected from a physics-based process model, and continuously updates the hidden variables to minimize this error via probabilistic estimation techniques. We then use the aerosol jet 3D printing to demonstrate devices with extraordinary performances that cannot be achieved by any other method. Specifically, we show 3D electrodes by this technique that enable detection of pathogens and breast cancer biomarkers in 10-12 seconds at femtomolar levels (fastest detection yet reported). We also show fully customizable brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that record electrical signals between neurons at densities of thousands of electrodes/cm2, which is 5-10× the current state-of-the-art technologies. We also demonstrated the printing of high-capacity Li-ion batteries and thin flexible robotic skins with embedded sensors. Speaker(s): Rahul Panat, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/481231

Electric energy systems are undergoing profound changes as they become increasingly interdependent with other infrastructures. The changes originate from within (new key components, such as inverters and storage), from the expanding system boundaries (transportation), and strengthened connections with other societal infrastructures, communications, water, and gas. The advent of new technologies related to renewable sources and electronic loads has increased the number and variability of transients. Recent events, such as the 2025 blackout in Spain and Portugal, underscore the need for a deeper understanding of hybrid systems that combine traditional (electromechanical) with new sources and loads (electronic). These processes have implications for education, which needs to combine depth in the discipline with a broad understanding of rapidly evolving fields, like AI and power semiconductors. The electric energy program at Santa Clara has initiated a reexamination of its undergraduate and graduate offerings with the aim of being responsive to industry needs while preparing students for the rapidly evolving profession. This workshop offers an opportunity to network with SCU friends and affiliates, as well as to collaborate on outlining future directions in research and teaching related to electric energy systems. · · Co-sponsored by: Santa Clara University Agenda: 8:00 Breakfast/Registration 9:00 Welcome and Opening remarks: Kendra Sharp (SCU Dean School of Engineering) 9:15 Keynote Damir Novosel (Founder, President Quanta) 10:15 Break 10:30 Rethinking Modeling, Computing and Control for Changing Electricity Service, Maria Ilic (Professor, MIT) 12:00 Lunch 1:00 Seeing Before Believing – Sensing and Power Quality Monitoring in Emerging Power Systems, Prof. Alex Stankovic (Professor, SCU) 2:00 Break 2:30 Inverter Interfaces for the Future Grid, Leo Casey (Chief Scientist, Google) 3:30 Power and Energy program at SCU Prof. Maryam Khanbaghi (Associate Professor, SCU) 4:00 Break 4:15 Panel: Workforce Development for the Future - Page Crahan - General Manager, Tapestry at X, the Moonshot Factory - Prasad PMSVVSV - VP and Head of Systems Engineering, Bloom Energy - Robert Entriken - Technical Executive, Electric Power Research Institute 5:00 Networking hour Room: SCDI 1302/1308, Bldg: Sobrato Campus for Discovery and Innovation (SCDI), 500 El Camino Real, Santa Clara, California, United States, 95053

This talk explores some foundational techniques that enable efficient, real-time analytics with minimal memory requirements. The algorithms covered include a clever bit-based strategy for approximating the count of 1s in a sliding window, ideal for binary streams where space efficiency is paramount. Another algorithm helps estimate statistical moments (mean, variance, skewness) using compact sketches, enabling a deeper understanding of stream distributions without storing the entire dataset. One other algorithm identifies trending items with exponential decay, giving more weight to recent data, a crucial method for dynamic environments like social media or sensor networks. Techniques like these form the backbone of intelligent stream processing. Through intuitive examples and practical applications, this session will demystify how these algorithms work, why they matter, and how they can be used to monitor, summarize, and react to data in motion. --------------------------------------------------------------- By registering for this event, you agree that IEEE and the organizers are not liable to you for any loss, damage, injury, or any incidental, indirect, special, consequential, or economic loss or damage (including loss of opportunity, exemplary or punitive damages).

This is a hybrid in-person and online event. Pre-registration is required for either. Medical image-based modeling and digital twins have emerged as powerful tools to support patient-specific cardiac surgical planning in adults and children. This presentation will discuss 3D modeling techniques that provide a complete pipeline from medical image segmentation to 3D anatomic models and blood flow simulations. The technology that makes this possible was recently extended to model the whole heart, including blood flow, tissue mechanics, electrophysiology, cardiac contraction, and heart valves. This presentation will also discuss recent applications of tools for clinical decision support. A first example is in adult cardiac surgery, where patient-specific modeling has been applied for vein graft failure prevention after coronary bypass graft surgery. Another example is in pediatric cardiac surgery where models have been used for clinical decision support in valve repair, flow re-direction, and bi-ventricular reconstruction. The program will conclude with a discussion of the open-source software and data resources that are available via the (https://simvascular.github.io/) and the (https://www.vascularmodel.com/).
