SUMMARY:Model it! Robotics Workshop for Pre-University Educators (Kick-Off Meeting)
DESCRIPTION:Software development is difficult! Unlike a building plan which can be easily linked to the visible features of the building\, it is difficult to link source code to the system it represents. Beginning programmers often don’t even think about the software design step – they just sit down and start coding. State Chart “Models” provide an alternate viewpoint and facilitate a clear communication of required software/system behavior before any coding takes place.  In this 2-course\, 8-week workshop\, we will review the basic features of state charts and show how this model can be implemented in Arduino C/C++ source code. You will construct a simple line-following robot based on the Raspberry Pi Pico WH board\, then learn how to design firmware that completes a basic line follower challenge and enable your students to compete in a (https://www.cool-mcu.com/pages/ceta).  This training is targeted towards Grade 11/12 Computer or Electronics Engineering Teachers (Ontario TEJ/ICS Curriculum)\, and will be delivered virtually using a Learning Management System\, combined with weekly live Q/A sessions to verify mastery of the material.  When registering\, please complete all address fields\, so we can ship you a robot kit and track in time for the first session!

SUMMARY:IEEE EDS Distinguished Lecture on the 75th Anniversary of the Transistor: Towards Smart Bio-Chemical Sensing Platforms
DESCRIPTION:Multiplexed sensing platforms will be the key enablers of smart electronic systems of the future. Such platforms will require the integration of miniaturized sensor arrays at the system/chip level\, using heterogeneous technologies. While we have made substantial progress in vision\, tactile and auditory sensing applications\, an equivalent of Moore’s law is missing in biological and chemical sensing applications.  With phenomenal advances in semiconductor nanotechnology and printed/flexible electronics\, the stage is now set for a new wave of sensor systems to be equipped with massive sensory functions\, specifically with biological and chemical sensor arrays.  In this talk\, I will present two case studies from our research:  (i) Biosensor systems for point of care diagnostics : the story of managing the sensing of multiple analytes in blood and urine with an eventual goal to realize “Lab on Palm” (ii) Gas sensor systems for environmental monitoring\, breath analysis and hazardous gas leakage detection\, with an eventual goal to realize the “Electronic Nose”  Speaker(s): Navakanta Bhat\,   ***CANCELED***  Agenda:  In this talk\, I will present two case studies from our research:  (i) Biosensor systems for point of care diagnostics : the story of managing the sensing of multiple analytes in blood and urine with an eventual goal to realize “Lab on Palm” (ii) Gas sensor systems for environmental monitoring\, breath analysis and hazardous gas leakage detection\, with an eventual goal to realize the “Electronic Nose”  Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/380387

SUMMARY:Exploring Molecular Assembly at Surfaces
DESCRIPTION:The adsorption and self–assembly of organic molecules at surfaces has recently been investigated extensively\, both because of the fundamental interest and for prospective applications in nanoelectronics and organic electronics. It is now well established that molecule–molecule and molecule–substrate interactions can be tuned by appropriate choice of substrate material and symmetry. Upon molecular adsorption\, surfaces typically do not behave as static templates\, but often rearrange to accommodate different molecular species. We discuss recent experiments using Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy and complementary surface sensitive techniques\, providing new insights into fundamental processes ranging from the formation of ordered patterns driven by non-covalent bonds to the realization of robust structured held together by covalent bonds. In particular\, we will focus on recent advances in using the substrate as catalyst for surface confined polymerization reactions\, emphasizing Ullmann coupling as key example.  Speaker(s): Professor Federico Rosei\,   Agenda:  The talk will begin at 2pm and conclude at 3pm\, followed by a 10 minute Q&A session.  Light refreshments will be provided.

SUMMARY:Integrating AI with Medical Imaging in the Healthcare Domain
DESCRIPTION:Medical imaging is transforming the landscape of oncology by playing a critical role in the process of cancer detection and therapeutic approaches. Medical experts may visualize the internal architecture of the body with unmatched precision using modern technologies such as MRI\, X-rays\, CT scans\, Ultrasound and PET scans. Imaging techniques in cancer identification allow for the early detection of aberrant tissue growth\, assisting in the prompt diagnosis and characterization of various tumours. Medical imaging also aids in treatment planning by providing detailed information regarding the size\, location\, and nature of malignant lesions. The introduction of machine learning in medical imaging has been a transformational force\, as it changes how healthcare workers evaluate and interpret complex data. Deep learning\, specifically\, has proven critical in tasks such as image segmentation\, classification\, and detection\, considerably improving diagnostic accuracy. Deep learning algorithms\, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs)\, excel at learning extensive patterns and characteristics from large datasets\, allowing them to identify subtle abnormalities in medical images that the human eye may not pick up on. This technology has considerably increased the speed and precision of diagnostic processes\, enabling earlier and more precise diagnosis of diseases\, namely cancer. Deep learning integration in various regions of medical imaging represents a paradigm shift\, enabling innovations with the potential to reshape the healthcare field\, leading to more efficient and effective patient care in the long run\, as will be further discussed.

SUMMARY:Satellite IoT: Architectures\, Technologies\, and Systems
DESCRIPTION:5G and 6G mobile communication systems will encompass a Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) that will include different satellite systems (LEO including cubesats/MEO/GEO) as well as High-Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS) in the stratosphere and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) to cover remote areas that otherwise could not have access to the Internet. IoT via NTN is very important for a wide range of applications such as Earth monitoring\, smart agriculture\, pollution control\, sea monitoring\, and disaster management. In a first part\, this seminar will investigate various architectural and networking options for collecting IoT data via satellite. Moreover\, a second part of the seminar will address and compare two important technologies NB-IoT (part of 5G NTN specification according to 3GPP Release 17) and LoRa/LoRaWAN (including the LR-FHSS alternative for satellite systems). Finally\, a review of current satellite IoT systems supporting NB-IoT or LoRa/LR-FHSS will be provided.  Speaker(s): Giovanni Giambene\,   Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/388859

SUMMARY:On Enhancing Efficiency of Radiative Energy Transfer
DESCRIPTION:Wireless sensor nodes are characterized by limited energy sources. Although the interests in wireless connectivity is ever-increasing and the needs for Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications\, such as\, automated remote access\, monitoring\, and control are well-appreciated\, widespread adoption of networked wireless devices is largely constrained by their affordable deployment and maintenance costs and convenience of their long-term usage. To this end\, while energy efficient protocol design is a key for long-lasting network operation\, energy harvesting aware solutions are becoming widely popular as green and affordable approaches towards sustainable network operation. Since ambient energy harvesting is not reliable or suitable in many field applications\, an interesting approach is charging them via wireless energy transfer. In this presentation\, we will discuss the limitations of radiative energy transfer\, performance of multihop radio frequency (RF) energy transfer\, and some of the use cases of RF energy transfer combined with wireless information transfer. In particular\, we will discuss the possible ways of improving radiative energy transfer efficiency through passive and active distributed beamforming. Throughout the presentation\, we will mutually corroborate our experimental findings and analytical intuitions in a few application scenarios.

SUMMARY:Fiber Attach: Technical progress within IEEE Standards
DESCRIPTION:The IEEE Photonics Society / Standards Committee recently published a whitepaper on Fiber Attach. Transmission of light between or in and out of any photonic platform normally requires attachment to a fiber that is used as a flexible optical waveguide. An effective fiber attach involves many requirements and metrics that have so far involved decades of research. The presentation will cover the whitepaper in detail\, some technical background\, the path forward\, and how to become involved.  Co-sponsored by: National Research Council\, Canada. Optonique.
