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: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: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:Cybersecurity and Machine Learning Applications
DESCRIPTION:The Internet is the baseline for cyberspace\, where technology infrastructure can be autonomous. It is a virtual space that can be accessed via different interconnected network devices. These devices can come from trusted or untrusted sources; therefore\, the communication among these devices might be safe and/or unsafe which leads to insecure vulnerable communication in cyberspace. Security in cyberspace\, namely Cyber-security can be described as a set of measures that makes cyberspace safe. Identifying threats and predicting vulnerabilities in this environment are the key components of the security mechanism. The main cause of security violations is the intrusion of an attacker into the network or the devices. Machine learning is one of the branches of artificial intelligence which can be used to increase the accuracy level for detecting threats in cyberspace to improve the system’s efficiency and performance. In this talk\, how machine learning can help detect and mitigate cyber threats is presented.\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Mizanur Rahman\,\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/337646

SUMMARY:IEEE EPS Distinguished Lecture: Chiplet Design and Heterogeneous Integration Packaging
DESCRIPTION:[]\nPlease note that this lecture has unfortunately had to be cancelled. Lecture notes from the talk will be shared with registrants. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.\nThe IEEE Toronto Electronics Packaging Society is proud to present Distinguished Lecturer Dr. John Lau of Unimicron Technology Corporation and his talk on “Chiplet Design and Heterogeneous Integration Packaging”.\nAbstract\nChiplet is a chip design method and heterogeneous integration is a chip packaging method. Heterogeneous integration uses packaging technology to integrate dissimilar chips\, photonic devices\, and/or components (either side-by-side\, stacked\, or both) with different sizes and functions\, and from different fabless design houses\, foundries\, wafer sizes\, feature sizes and companies into a system or subsystem on a common package substrate. For the next few years\, we will see more implementations of a higher level of chiplet designs and heterogeneous integration packaging\, whether it is for time-to-market\, performance\, form factor\, power consumption or cost. In this lecture\, the introduction\, recent advances\, and trends in chiplet design and heterogeneous integrationpackaging will be presented.\nPlease join us Tuesday\, December 13th at 11 AM in BA1240. The event will also be streamed live on Zoom for those who cannot attend in person.\nFood and refreshments will be served.\nSpeaker(s): Dr. John H Lau\,\nBldg: Bahen Centre for Information Technology\, 40 St George St\, Room BA1240\, Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada\, M5S 2E4\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/335514

SUMMARY:Paving the Way Towards Mobile IAB: Problems\, Solutions and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:5G networks are being designed and deployed considering a dense deployment of small cells in order to simultaneously serve more users with higher throughput and lower delay. However\, building from scratch a completely new infrastructure is costly and takes time. Deploying access and backhaul as wireless links\, a.k.a. integrated access and backhaul (IAB)\, is envisioned as a viable approach to enable flexible and dense networks. Even further\, mobile IAB (mIAB) is a candidate solution to enhance the connectivity of users moving together. Motivated by this\, in this talk\, we firstly present the basic architecture of IAB. Then\, we provide the main use cases of mIAB. After that\, an extensive performance analysis is presented. Passengers and pedestrians quality of service is evaluated. Moreover\, results related to the wireless backhaul are also presented. The mIAB scenario is compared to two benchmark solutions\, i.e.\, a scenario with only macro gNBs and a scenario with macro and pico gNBs fiber-connected to the core network. Finally\, we summarize the lessons learned and list some open issues and future directions.\nSpeaker(s): Victor Monteiro\, Francisco Rafael Lima\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/337093

SUMMARY:Distinguished Lecture Series: Wide Tuning-Range VCOs Using Multi-Mode Resonators
DESCRIPTION:LC VCOs are commonly used for RF carrier generation. A wide tuning range in a single VCO is desirable for covering multiple bands while occupying a small area. An octave tuning range enables continuous coverage of all lower frequencies by integer frequency division. LC VCOs are most often tuned using variable capacitor banks and varactors. Because of switch resistances in capacitor banks and poor quality factor of varactors\, using only capacitors for tuning degrades the phase noise\, especially at millimeter-wave frequencies. Variable inductors using series switches pose the same problem. Mutual coupling can be exploited to realize multiple resonant modes with different effective inductances without using switches. This allows a wider tuning range without substantial reduction in the tank quality factor. Topologies for multi-mode resonant structures and their performance will be described with examples from the literature.\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Krishnapura\,\nRoom: BA B025\, Bldg: Bahen Centre for Information Technology\, 40 St George St\, Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada\, M5S 2E4\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/342962
