Academics and their students* are not born entrepreneurs. They work on gaps in knowledge, find answers and solutions, teach, present at conferences, publish, patent, and collaborate with other academics and industry to do even more. From applying for grants to attracting talent to our labs, we need to “create” and “sell” every day. How can we do our best? How can we pick among paths and projects? Join us to get some answers and perhaps mostly new questions “you” will need to find “your” answers for. Most of what we talk about will be equally relevant to those interested in building value from outside the walls of university campuses.

The Circuits & Devices Chapter of IEEE Toronto section is pleased to invite you to join us for a virtual talk by Prof. Seun-Tak Ryu, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), on Energy-Efficient Designs assisted by SAR ADCs. Since late 2000’s, SAR ADCs have become one of the most popular ADC architectures showing not only excellent energy efficiency but also competitive conversion speed owing to the digital-friendly compact structure and architectural evolution in deep submicron technologies. Being utilized as sub building blocks, SAR ADCs could also enhance the performance of other types of ADCs such as pipelined, delta-sigma, and even flash ADCs. This talk discusses how SAR ADCs could improve ADC performances with various architectural innovations.

The nation’s energy infrastructure, particularly the power grid, has become a major target, with more frequent and sophisticated attacks from nation-states and cyber criminals. Cyber incidents could disrupt energy services, damage highly specialized equipment, and threaten public health and safety. Utilities across North America have been investing billions of US dollars for several decades to make their systems robust to mitigate cyber-attacks from hackers. This panel discussion will be a great opportunity for students, young professionals, field technicians and engineers to have a general overview on cybersecurity issues and challenges of utilities in North America. Join us on our first seminar on Cybersecurity with IEEE Toronto Section- Communications Chapter. We look forward to seeing you at the event!
