SUMMARY:The Critical Role of Computational Modeling in Future Diagnostic\, Monitoring\, and Predictive Tools for Cardiovascular Diseases
DESCRIPTION:Join the IEEE Toronto Instrumentation & Measurement – Robotics & Automation Joint Chapter for a talk on The Role of Computational Modeling in Future Diagnostic\, Monitoring\, and Predictive Tools for Cardiovascular Diseases \, presented by Dr. Zahra K. Motamed.\nTuesday\, November 29\, 2022 @ 4:30 – 5:30 PM\nAbstract: The main functions of the cardiovascular system are to transport\, control and maintain blood flow in the entire body. Abnormal hemodynamics greatly alters this tranquil picture\, leading to initiation and progression of disease. These abnormalities are often manifested by disturbed fluid dynamics (local hemodynamics)\, and in many cases by an increase in the heart workload (global hemodynamics). Hemodynamics quantification can be greatly useful for accurate and early diagnosis\, but we still lack proper diagnostic methods for many cardiovascular diseases because the hemodynamics analysis methods that can be used as engines of new diagnostic tools are not well developed yet. Furthermore\, as most interventions intend to recover the healthy condition\, the ability to monitor and predict hemodynamics following particular interventions can have significant impacts on saving lives. Despite remarkable advances in medical imaging\, imaging on its own is not predictive. Predictive methods are rare. They are extensions of diagnostic methods\, enabling prediction of effects of interventions\, allowing timely and personalized interventions\, and helping critical clinical decision making about life-threatening risks based on quantitative data.\nDr. Motamed and her team has developed innovative non-invasive image-based patient-specific diagnostic\, monitoring and predictive computational-mechanics framework for patients with cardiovascular disease. Currently\, none of the above metrics can be obtained noninvasively in patients in clinics and when invasive procedures are undertaken\, the collected metrics cannot be by any means as complete as the results that Motamed lab’s framework provides.\nSpeaker(s): Zahra K.

SUMMARY:IEEE EDS Distinguished Lecture: Low Power Design and Predictive Failure Analytics in Silicon in nm Era
DESCRIPTION:Power has become the key driving force in processor as well AI specific accelerator designs as the frequency scale-up is reaching saturation. In order to achieve low power system\, circuit and technology co-design is essential. This talk focuses on related technology and important circuit techniques for nanoscale VLSI circuits. Achieving low power and high performance simultaneously is always difficult. Technology has seen major shifts from bulk to SOI and then to non-planar devices such as FinFET and Trigates.\nThis talk consists of pros and cons analysis on technology from power perspective and various techniques to exploit lower power. As the technology pushes towards sub-7nm era\, process variability and geometric variation in devices can cause variation in power. The reliability also plays an important role in the power-performance envelope. This talk also reviews the methodology to capture such effects and describes all the power components. All the key areas of low power optimization such as reduction in active power\, leakage power\, short circuit power and collision power are covered. Usage of clock gating\, power gating\, longer channel\, multi-Vt design\, stacking\, header-footer device techniques and other methods are described for logic and memory used for processors and AI. Finally the talk summarizes key challenges in achieving low power.\nIn addition the tutorial gives a brief overview of predictive failure analytics used in nm Technology. Process and environmental variations impact circuit behavior it is important to model their effects to build robust circuits. The tutorial describe how key statistical techniques can be effectively used to analyze and build robust circuits.\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Rajiv Joshi\,\nAgenda:\nThe event will start at 18:00PM EST and the talk will start at 18:10PM EST.\nRoom: BA2155\, Bldg: Bahen Centre for Information Technology\, 40 St George St \, Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada\, M5S 2E4\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/331087

SUMMARY:Academic entrepreneurship: an oxymoron?
DESCRIPTION:Academics and their students* are not born entrepreneurs. They work on gaps in knowledge\,\nfind answers and solutions\, teach\, present at conferences\, publish\, patent\, and collaborate\nwith other academics and industry to do even more. From applying for grants to attracting\ntalent to our labs\, we need to “create” and “sell” every day. How can we do our best? How\ncan we pick among paths and projects? Join us to get some answers and perhaps mostly\nnew questions “you” will need to find “your” answers for. Most of what we talk about will be\nequally relevant to those interested in building value from outside the walls of university\ncampuses.\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Shahram Sean Yousefi\,\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/330795

SUMMARY:Why Software Fails and Why AI cannot Help
DESCRIPTION:It was once widely believed that computers would enhance the speed\, reliability\, and applicability of human deductive reasoning in the physical and social sciences\, much as motorized vehicles (e.g.\, cars\, trains\, airplanes) have enhanced the speed\, reliability\, and applicability of human manual abilities in transportation. Yet\, 60 years later\, computers can be used confidently only for paperwork tasks\, analysis of regularly structured data\, and simple process control applications. Complex software rarely satisfies user needs\, is untrustworthy and difficult to maintain\, and largely opaque to its users. Artificial intelligence (AI) methods including heuristics\, machine learning\, and statistical methods are in opposition to sound deductive reasoning. This presentation explains certain practical and logical impediments to computer enhancement of human deductive reasoning\, the deductive limitations of modern programming languages\, the role of AI\, and provides some promising alternatives.\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/322735

SUMMARY:IEEE ComSoc Distinguished Lecturer: Practical 5G Channel and System Modeling Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Channel link-level and system level modeling played a critical role in proper design and deployment of all generations of wireless network systems. Particularly\, system level modeling has become an important task for network planning\, network design\, and network optimization of wireless cellular systems. System level simulations allow to evaluate the performance of an entire network containing many Evolved Node B (eNodeB) sectors serving a lot of user equipment (UEs) in urban\, suburban\, and rural environments. Design and performance of new technology features require to be accurately verified and improved before deployment into commercial systems. Therefore\, real-world system performance modeling and predictions should be very reliable and should be based on repeatable measurements of how the model behaves in the actual environment. Both the wireless industry and academia have made a significant effort developing and defining new and updated channel models such as the 3GPP 3D channel model and the extended 3GPP extended channel model for milli-meter wave. New 3D geodata models with high-resolution and artificial intelligent (AI) algorithms are greatly enhancing the RF propagation modeling in line of sight (LOS) and non-line of sight (NLOS) beamformed signals and FD-MIMO antenna applications of 5G wireless network systems. In this talk\, we will review some of the key 5G wideband wireless channel modeling including the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)\, NYU SIM\, and others. We will discuss some of the general practical use cases of 5G network system modeling scenarios. Additionally\, we will describe some of the practical challenges of channel and system modeling in 5G wireless systems.\nSpeaker(s): Kafi Hassan\,\nRoom: BA 2185\, Bldg: Bahen Centre for Information Technology\, University of Toronto\, 40 St George St\, Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada

SUMMARY:Australia’s Renewables Growth and Electricity Network Response
DESCRIPTION:Australia’s renewable energy sector has been growing rapidly in the last several years. After a brief introduction to Australia\, it’s resources and electricity networks\, I will then give an update of the major (GW scale) renewable projects and some other key statistics and milestones in renewables growth for 2021/22.\nThis growth has led to transmission network reviews and formal announcements of renewable energy zones (REZ) in NSW and Queensland. A specific example will be given: Powerlink’s Transmission network upgrade between Townsville and Cairns which supports Queensland’s Northern renewable energy zone. Both transmission and distribution network planners are also having to decide how to manage an increasingly variable sources of generation. Options such as more storage\, demand management\, and generation control are all possible solutions. Planning for and enabling them quickly\, and hopefully at lowest cost\, is an ongoing challenge. Energex are examining MW scale batteries as a genuine mechanism for delivering distribution network capacity upgrades\, and all Distribution Network Service Providers (DNSPs) are examining Dynamic Operating Envelopes (DOEs) to better manage Distributed Energy Resources (DERs).\nFinally\, I will mention the (slow) growth of EVs in Australia\, discuss the reasons why\, and the implications as this inevitably changes.\nSpeaker(s): Geoff Walker\,\nRoom: MS 4279\, Medical Sciences Building\, 1 King’s College Circle\, Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada\, M5S 1A8
