SUMMARY:IEEE Durham Region Sub-Section Speaker Series Presents: Enabling Resilient Cyber-Power Critical Infrastructure with Edge Devices
DESCRIPTION:Integrating electric vehicles (EV) and distributed energy resources (DER) presents multiple challenges while offering solutions for grid operation. Using internet-of-things (IoT) technology for EVs and DERs improves the resiliency of the grid but introduces cyber vulnerabilities. Minimizing the impact of cyber attacks on the grid depends on factors such as cyber defense planning\, grid operator training and using metrics for operational decision-making. A standardized metric system is required to quantify cyber resiliency and use them for systems with edge devices. The talk covers the basics of cyber-power security and resiliency\, operational decision tools\, resiliency metrics for the grid and a testbed to validate these cyber resilience tools.

SUMMARY:Advancing Terahertz Communications for 6G and Beyond Wireless Era
DESCRIPTION:[]  Terahertz (THz) communications are envisioned as an up-and-coming and pivotal wireless technology for the sixth generation(6G) and beyond era. In particular\, the ultra-wide THz band ranging from 0.1 to 10 THz offers enormous potential to alleviate the spectrum scarcity and break the capacity limitation of emerging wireless systems (such as 4G-LTE and 5G NR). This will undoubtedly support epoch-making wireless applications that demand ultra-high quality service requirements and multi-terabits per second data transmission in the intelligent information society in the 2030s\, such as terabit-per-second backhaul systems\, ultra-high-definition content streaming among mobile devices\, and virtual/augmented reality. In this talk\, I will introduce the role and importance of THz communications for the 6G and beyond wireless networks\, while briefly describing the fundamental research on THz devices\, channels\, testbeds\, and simulators. After this\, I will give a brief summary of recent research advances in THz communications\, focusing on performance analysis\, spectrum allocation\, and hybrid beamforming. Finally\, I will discuss some pressing challenges for harnessing the benefits of THz communications in the next decades.  Speaker(s): Prof. Nan Yang\,   Room: 7180\, Bldg: Bahen Centre for Information Technology\, University of Toronto\, Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada

SUMMARY:Metamaterials and meta components are the future of photonics: how PlanOpSim and SONIL can help
DESCRIPTION:Metamaterials and meta components are the future of photonics: how PlanOpSim and SONIL can help  Abstract: The meta-component markets are set to grow significantly over the next few years.  PlanOpSim and SONIL can help you design the components and systems of the future\, which will be more compact\, less complicated and with new optical functionalities.  PlanOpSim offers the fastest\, most complete and most advanced simulation and design software for photonic meta-components. It takes into account manufacturing constraints and dispersions to provide the optimized design in term of performance and production cost.  SOLNIL manufactures the components below using its nanoimprint lithography process. From the formulation of solgels to the manufacture of metal oxide nanostructures\, SOLNIL has three expertise: Chemical formulation\, manufacturing process and optical characterization.  The synergy between these two companies is an opportunity to develop innovative components and systems in reasonable budget and development time.  ————————————————————————  Les méta matériaux et méta composants sont le futur de la photonique : comment PlanOpSim et SOLNIL peuvent aider  Résumé : Les marchés des méta composants vont croitre de manière importante dans les prochaines années.

SUMMARY:Battery Chargers for Electric Vehicles (from Scooters to Trucks)
DESCRIPTION:The role of power electronics in supporting green electrification has never been more critical. Today\, there are many categories of electric vehicles (EVs)\, spanning a wide range of applications\, including electric scooters\, electric bicycles (e-bikes)\, and electric motorcycles for urban commuting and recreation. Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs) are used for short trips within urban areas. Passenger electric cars\, both fully electric and hybrid\, are designed for everyday use. Electric vans cater to urban deliveries\, while electric buses serve public transportation needs. Electric trucks are used in logistics for heavy loads. Electric utility vehicles (EUVs) support agriculture and industrial applications\, and electric forklifts are common in warehouses for material handling.  This talk will discuss battery charger technology to support the deployment and acceleration of green electrification and transportation. From small to large applications\, what technology would you use and why?

SUMMARY:IEEE Future Directions\, Technical Roadmaps and Data-based Strategy …what they are and how to use them to charge your YP Career
DESCRIPTION:Enhance your career by learning more about the value and importance of IEEE Future Directions\, Roadmaps. IEEE develops Technical Roadmaps to provide long term perspectives of Technology Trends and Forecasts. This is done by bringing together experts from international industry\, government and all research entities. These experts are organized in Working Groups that are focused on multiple Technical and Humanitarian aspects. The Roadmaps serve as an independent and unbiased resource that exemplifies a multi-disciplinary\, global and a consolidated approach. This work is focused on precompetitive cooperation between the contributors. The industry then uses the Technical directions and Trends outlined in these Roadmaps to chart out their own Product Roadmaps to develop competitive products. This presentation will also show some of the exciting work using Data-based products. Young Professionals (YP’s) who get engaged with the IEEE Roadmaps and Data teams are in an excellent position to take a leading role within their own employer companies to develop competitive Product Roadmaps. This is an opportunity that can be very rewarding in the development of the YP’s career. A successful case study will be elaborated.
