SUMMARY:Network Dynamics-Aware Resource Management for Mobile Edge Computing
DESCRIPTION:The sixth-generation (6G) communication networks are anticipated to enable a variety of innovative applications and provide extreme connectivity for mobile devices. To meet the evolving service demands in highly dynamic network environments\, mobile edge computing (MEC) and artificial intelligence (AI) will be two pivotal technologies in 6G. MEC extends computing and storage capabilities within radio access networks\, coping with the increasing computing demands from mobile users. Meanwhile\, AI facilitates intelligent resource management by enabling network entities to learn and build knowledge about network dynamics. In this talk\, we will explore AI-assisted resource management for MEC-enabled networks\, addressing the computing challenges caused by device mobility and heterogeneity. We will introduce two AI-assisted resource management approaches\, each tailored to support a representative MEC use case: the Internet of Vehicles and mobile virtual reality video streaming. Finally\, we will outline a future research plan focused on holistic network virtualization through digital twin technologies\, aimed at further enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of AI-assisted network management towards 6G.

SUMMARY:Mid-infrared Transmitter and Receiver for Free Space Optical SatCom
DESCRIPTION:Mid-infrared Transmitter and Receiver for Free Space Optical SatCom  Abstract – In this talk\, we review efforts of the Xu research group at McMaster to implement a C-band to mid-infrared (3.4-3.5 micron) transmitter and receiver pair. This is accomplished via difference frequency generation and sum frequency generation for the transmitter and receiver modules\, respectively. We will go over professional packaging progress\, project outcomes\, and discuss the significant improvement in conversion efficiency over the reported literature thanks to the intracavity design. Additionally\, a link budget model for the C-band and mid-infrared are compared to evaluate pros and cons of potentially adopting mid-infrared for satellite communications\, as well as any adjacent applications for the modules.  ————————————————————————  Émetteur et récepteur infrarouge moyen pour SatCom optique en espace libre  Résumé – Dans cet exposé\, nous passons en revue les efforts du groupe de recherche Xu à McMaster pour mettre en œuvre une paire émetteur et récepteur en bande C vers l’infrarouge moyen (3\,4-3\,5 microns).

SUMMARY:Large Language Models (AI) applications to Cybersecurity
DESCRIPTION:Overview  The field of Artificial Intelligence is taking the industry (and the world) by storm. The launch of ChatGPT started a mass adoption phenomenon\, which is now followed by an avalanche of new products and solutions addressing every possible problem space. Malicious hackers have also put AI to good use\, but so did the White Hat hackers\, such as Frédéric and his team.  This talk will level-set the understanding about Large Language Models (LLM) and Generative AI for computer scientists and software developers who might not be intimately familiar with the field. Frédéric will then take us further into some of the applications in cybersecurity.  Abstract  Large Language Models and Generative AI have completely reshaped the landscape of Artificial Intelligence the last two years. Progresses have been made on architectures\, training methods\, and the community has shared large datasets along with pre-trained models\, allowing for new usages at a relatively low cost. In the cybersecurity defender’s path\, new malicious tools drove efforts on innovative methods to improve their detection. We propose a modern and effective method of detecting file maliciousness\, by using an LLM initially trained on computer code. The focus will be on the process we set up and the decision we made to solve this problem\, with an emphasize of the generalization of our approach. We will explain how LLM can help solve a large panel of problems related to texts.  In addition\, we will explain the outcomes of this work : in particular\, we will explain how we were able to use the trained model and ask it “where it was wrong”\, shedding lights on errors in the training datasets. We will explain where these errors came from\, and how we were able to improve the model iteratively by correcting them\, allowing more people to reproduce our findings and fixing pitfalls coming with noisy datasets. Working in a field where sometimes the line is thin between an “administrator” and a “threat actor”\, we will also open the discussion on how you can define maliciousness depending on your objectives.  Key takeaways : -What is an LLM and what it is not? -How much does it cost to use one for our own purpose? -What are the key steps of a training process? -An intro to cybersecurity : what are we trying to detect? -How did we build our datasets? -The results -What can the data engineer and the cybersecurity analyst learn from these results?

SUMMARY:The Origins of Silicon Valley: Lessons for Entrepreneurs\, Startups\, and Technology Hubs
DESCRIPTION:[]Silicon Valley is commonly acknowledged as the tech capital of the world. How did Silicon Valley come into being\, and what can we learn? The story goes back to local Hams trying to break RCA’s tube patents\, Stanford “angel” investors\, the sinking of the Titanic\, WW II and radar\, and the SF Bay Area infrastructure that developed – these factors pretty much determined that the semiconductor and IC industries would be located in the Santa Clara Valley\, and that the Valley would remain the world’s innovation center as new technologies emerge\, and be the model for innovation worldwide.  This talk will give an exciting and colorful history of development and innovation that began in Palo Alto in 1909. You’ll meet some of the colorful characters – Cyril Elwell\, Lee De Forest\, Bill Eitel\, Charles Litton\, Fred Terman\, David Packard\, Bill Hewlett\, Bill Shockley and others – who came to define our worldwide electronics industries through their inventions and process development. You’ll understand some of the novel management approaches that have become the hallmarks of its tech startups. Many of these attributes can be found in other technology hubs; however\, the SF Bay Area has five generations of experience\, as well as a “critical mass” of talent\, making it difficult for others to catch up. In this talk\, the key attributes will be illustrated and analyzed\, for consideration by other tech hubs\, and for entrepreneurs interested in creating their own start-ups or understanding them.  Speaker(s): Paul Wesling\,   Agenda:  The event will start at 11:30AM with a short networking interaction. The talk will then begin at 12:00PM and conclude around 1-1:15PM\, with questions for the last 10-15 minutes of the talk.  Food and drink will be provided.

SUMMARY:Monolithic\, Heterogeneous and Hybrid Photonic Integration – There is a role for all
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Photonic integration has been at the center of photonic activity for several years. Over this period\, great strides have been made to increase the integration density and integrated chip functionality. This talk will work its way up from the drivers for photonic integration – why do we need Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs)? What are their similarities and differences with Electronic Integrated Circuits (EICs)? This analysis of integration drivers will lead to a discussion of recent progress on the main paths: monolithic\, heterogeneous and hybrid. The talk will conclude with possible approaches to meet the additional demanding considerations for future Quantum PICs.  Co-sponsored by: Co-sponsored by National Research Council\, Canada.

SUMMARY:Virtual Talk: Quantum microscopy using spatially correlated photons / Microscopie quantique en utilisant des photons spatialement corrélés
DESCRIPTION:*Please note that this presentation will be given as a fully virtual event. Webinar access information will be communicated to IEEE members and registered people. Please contact the hosts for more information.  * Veuillez noter que cette présentation sera donné de façon virtuelle. Les informations d’accès au webinaire seront communiquées aux membres de l’IEEE et aux personnes inscrites. Veuillez contacter les organisateurs pour plus d’informations.  Abstract: Exploiting spatial correlations between photons is a fundamental in quantum imaging. Correlation-based imaging\, a scheme whereby one photon from a pair interacts with an object before reaching the detection system. The joint measurement of the two photons then reveals the image of the object. Though the image reconstruction was initially implemented using computational techniques that employ a single pixel with no spatial resolution on its own\, modern implementations can make use of arrays of single-photon sensitive detectors. Novel imaging sensors such as arrays of single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) have enabled two- and three-dimensional imaging\, the latter being enabled by the high temporal resolution. Furthermore\, their high-frame rate\, compared to rival technology\, dramatically reduces the acquisition time required to spatially characterise quantum states and form a correlation image. In this talk\, we will provide an overview of the recent developments in 2D\, and 3D correlation-based imaging using photon pairs and enabled by SPAD cameras. Particularly\, we will focus on optical designs geared towards applications in microscopy.

SUMMARY:Spin Polarized Transport in Monolayer WSe2 Quantum Structures
DESCRIPTION:Spin Polarized Transport in Monolayer WSe2 Quantum Structures  Abstract: Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs)\, a semiconducting member of the two-dimensional material family\, have been suggested to be promising candidates for various quantum applications. However\, challenges associated with the quality of electrical contacts in TMDs have hampered the progress of transport studies\, especially at low temperature and in the low carrier density regime.  In this talk\, a device structure is presented which allows us to obtain low resistance ohmic contacts to monolayer TMDs while still accessing the low carrier density regime in transport experiments. The low-temperature magneto-transport measurements resulting from this fabricated device is presented and the unexpected spin polarized states are discussed.  ————————————————————————  Transport polarisé de spin dans les structures quantiques monocouches WSe2  Résumé : Il a été suggéré que les dichalcogénures de métaux de transition (TMD) monocouches\, un membre semi-conducteur de la famille des matériaux bidimensionnels\, seraient des candidats prometteurs pour diverses applications quantiques. Cependant\, les défis associés à la qualité des contacts électriques dans les TMD ont entravé la progression des études de transport\, en particulier à basse température et dans le régime de faible densité de porteurs.  Dans cet exposé\, une structure de dispositif est présentée qui nous permet d’obtenir des contacts ohmiques à faible résistance avec des TMD monocouches tout en accédant au régime de faible densité de porteurs dans les expériences de transport. Les mesures de magnéto-transport à basse température résultant de ce dispositif fabriqué sont présentées et les états polarisés en spin inattendus sont discutés.

SUMMARY:A Strategic Si3N4 materials platform for Integrated Quantum and Nano Technologies (Made in Canada!)
DESCRIPTION:A Strategic Si3N4 materials platform for Integrated Quantum and Nano Technologies (Made in Canada!)  Abstract: Silicon nitride has recently gained a lot of interest within the photonic device community\, because of its unique properties\, as an attractive materials platform of choice for a wide range of applications including sensing\, metrology\, nonlinear optics\, quantum information processing and telecommunications. We report on an optimization procedure for depositing low-loss silicon nitride films at temperatures of 760˚C and 820˚C using low-pressure chemical vapor deposition. They were characterized in terms of quality and compositional proximity to stoichiometric silicon nitride. Films deposited at 760˚C showed a higher stoichiometry\, with a silicon-to-nitrogen ratio of 0.744\, when compared to the 820˚C film\, which had a ratio of 0.77. We found the film deposited at the lower temperature had a smoother surface and exhibited lower optical losses. We investigated the impact of film stress on the refractive index of the film and found that removing the backside nitride from the wafer after deposition has a major effect on refractive index values. When using these films for integrated nonlinear and quantum applications\, such as frequency conversion or soliton generation\, knowledge of how the index changes with wafer and fabrication processing is critical for predicting the correct geometries\, and the concomitant group velocities\, needed to realize such quantum technologies. The measured losses from fabricated devices showed that our nitride material is comparable to the leading foundries if not better than them regarding the film quality and losses.  ————————————————————————  Une plateforme stratégique de matériaux Si3N4 pour les technologies quantiques et nano intégrées (fabriquée au Canada !)  Résumé : Le nitrure de silicium a récemment suscité beaucoup d’intérêt au sein de la communauté des dispositifs photoniques\, en raison de ses propriétés uniques\, en tant que plate-forme matérielle attrayante de choix pour un large éventail d’applications\, notamment la détection\, la métrologie\, l’optique non linéaire\, le traitement de l’information quantique et les télécommunications. Nous rapportons une procédure d’optimisation pour le dépôt de films de nitrure de silicium à faibles pertes à des températures de 760 °C et 820 °C par dépôt chimique en phase vapeur à basse pression. Ils ont été caractérisés en termes de qualité et de proximité de composition avec le nitrure de silicium stœchiométrique. Les films déposés à 760 °C présentaient une stœchiométrie plus élevée\, avec un rapport silicium/azote de 0\,744\, par rapport au film à 820 °C\, qui présentait un rapport de 0\,77. Nous avons constaté que le film déposé à la température la plus basse avait une surface plus lisse et présentait des pertes optiques plus faibles. Nous avons étudié l’impact de la contrainte du film sur l’indice de réfraction du film et avons constaté que le retrait du nitrure arrière de la tranche après le dépôt avait un effet majeur sur les valeurs de l’indice de réfraction. Lors de l’utilisation de ces films pour des applications non linéaires et quantiques intégrées\, telles que la conversion de fréquence ou la génération de solitons\, la connaissance de la façon dont l’indice change avec le traitement de la plaquette et de la fabrication est essentielle pour prédire les géométries correctes et les vitesses de groupe concomitantes\, nécessaires à la réalisation de telles technologies quantiques. Les pertes mesurées des appareils fabriqués ont montré que notre matériau nitrure est comparable aux principales fonderies\, voire meilleur\, en termes de qualité du film et de pertes.

SUMMARY:Observation of a group delay in high-gain spontaneous parametric down-conversion
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Strongly-driven nonlinear optical processes such as spontaneous parametric down-conversion and spontaneous four-wave mixing can produce multiphoton nonclassical beams of light which have applications in quantum information processing and sensing. In contrast to the low-gain regime\, new physical effects arise in a high-gain regime due to the interactions between the nonclassical light and the strong pump driving the nonlinear process. Here\, we describe and experimentally observe a gain-dependent group delay between the multiphoton pulses generated in a high-gain type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion source. Since the group delay introduces distinguishability between the generated photons\, it will be important to compensate for it when designing quantum interference devices in which strong optical nonlinearities are required.  Joint work with Guillaume Thekkadath\, Martin Houde\, Duncan England and Ben Sussman.

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.

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.
