SUMMARY:Next Gen Nanomaterial-based Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Shields
DESCRIPTION:Next Gen Nanomaterial-based Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Shields\nAbstract:\nElectromagnetic interference is now a routine concern\, as emitted radiation from a device can interfere with the function of nearby systems. The radiation can also be harmful to human health. Thus\, shielding regulations exist in industrialized nations for all electronic products.\nMost shields today are metal-based\, and weight penalty of metals becomes an issue as devices and systems shrink in size. More importantly\, metals do their shielding job primarily by reflection due to their excellent conductivity and the resulting large impedance mismatch between the shield and free space. This leads to undesirable secondary pollution.\nThis talk will focus on two ongoing aspects of EMI shield development.\nFirst involves printing of shields which provides much thinner shields than what sheet metal fabrication can do. Shields based on alternatives to metals such as graphene and MXene are printed. Thinner shields translate to high absolute shielding effectiveness which is shielding effectiveness normalized to thickness and density. Printing also results in lower cost.\nSecond\, the talk will focus on green shields that work by absorption rather than reflection\, aiming at a green index much greater than one\, where green index is the ratio of absorbance over reflectance.\nBio:\nMeyya Meyyappan\nMeyya Meyyappan recently retired from NASA Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley after serving as Chief Scientist for Exploration Technology and Director of the Center for Nanotechnology. He is currently an Honorary Professor at IIT-Guwahati\, India. He has authored or co-authored over 440 articles in peer-reviewed journals and made over 300 Invited/Keynote/Plenary Talks in conferences across the world and over 300 seminars at universities. He is a Fellow of IEEE\, AVS\, ECS\, MRS\, ASME\, AIChE\, and National Academy of Inventors.\nFor his contributions and leadership in nanotechnology\, he has received numerous awards including: a Presidential Meritorious Award; NASA's Outstanding Leadership Medal; IEEE Judith Resnick Award; IEEE-USA Harry Diamond Award; AIChE Nanoscale Science and Engineering Forum Award; Distinguished Engineering Achievement Award by the Engineers' Council; Pioneer Award in Nanotechnology by the IEEE-NTC; Sir Monty Finniston Award by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (UK); IEEE-USA Professional Achievement Award; AVS Nanotechnology Recognition Award; IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society Merit Award; AVS Plasma Prize; MRS Impact Award; FLEXI Technology Champion Award for Printed and Flexible Electronics; ECS Thomas Callinan Award.\nFor his sustained contributions to nanotechnology\, he was inducted into the Silicon Valley Engineering Council Hall of Fame in 2009. He has received Honorary Doctorate from the University of Witwatersrand\, Johannesburg\, South Africa. He served as President of both IEEE Nanotechnology Council (NTC) and IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS).\nFor his educational contributions\, he has received: Outstanding Recognition Award from the NASA Office of Education; the Engineer of the Year Award (2004) by the San Francisco Section of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics; IEEE-EDS Education Award; IEEE-EAB (Educational Activities Board) Meritorious Achievement Award in Continuing Education.\nAGENDA:\nThursday February 6\, 2025\n11:30 AM: Networking\, Pizza & Drinks\nNoon — 1 pm: Seminar\nPlease register on Eventbrite before 9:30 AM on Thursday February 6\, 2025\n$4 IEEE members $6 non IEEE members\n(discounts for unemployed and students )\nSee examplesAdd\nBldg: ==> Use corner entrance: Kifer Road / San Lucar Court ==> Do not enter at main entrance on Kifer Road\, EAG Labs\, 810 Kifer Road\, Sunnyvale\, California\, California\, United States\, 95051

SUMMARY:Realizing Artificial Intelligence: Edge-to-Cloud-to-Exascale
DESCRIPTION:[]\nTitle: Realizing Artificial Intelligence: Edge-to-Cloud-to-Exascale\nAbstract: Foundational models with trillions of parameters are being trained. Multi-modal GenAI and Inference Serving services are being deployed for a variety of use cases. To meet the computational demands of these AI workloads\, we now have infrastructure with larger than ever GPUs and networks with ever increasing bandwidths. In this presentation\, I will talk about challenges of running today’s AI workloads on extreme scale infrastructure. Hewlett Packard Labs is pursuing different research directions for building resilient\, scalable and sustainable AI infrastructures. I will discuss how we are tackling the complexities of orchestrating AI/ML workloads by leveraging AI Workload simulations\, GPU virtualization\, performant communication collectives and novel accelerators.\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/462458
