Abstract: Electromagnetic waves are characterized by their amplitude, frequency, and state of polarization -- also referred to as spin angular momentum (SAM), associated with circular polarization and recognized for over two centuries. In contrast, over the past three decades, growing attention has been directed toward orbital angular momentum (OAM), which arises from helical (twisted) phase […]

As Generative AI rapidly moves from experimentation into everyday workflows, professionals across technical and business roles are discovering new ways to improve productivity, accelerate decision-making, and reduce repetitive work. From software engineering and product management to communication, research, and operations, AI assistants are increasingly becoming practical collaborators in day-to-day work. Following our May session on […]

We are thrilled to host LLNL’s 30th Center for Advanced Signal and Image Sciences (CASIS) workshop. The workshop returns with a full 2-day in-person schedule on Wednesday and Thursday, June 24-25, 2026. We encourage a broad range of technical topics at the workshop and being non-archival apart from original work, we are also considering intermediate […]

In this talk, I will talk about some hardware/software work my group has done in the area of stochastic computing-based machine learning acceleration. Stochastic computing or SC is an approximate, stream-based computing paradigm enabling extremely area-efficient implementations of basic arithmetic operations such as multiplication and addition. I will talk about the suitability of the SC […]

Power electronics is a foundational technology that drives a wide range of important and emerging applications including cloud computing, wireless communications, robotics, and smart energy systems. By systematically managing the increased complexity in materials, circuits, and systems, new opportunities are created to greatly advance the functionality and performance of power electronics systems. This speech provides […]

As emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and large-scale digital platforms become increasingly integrated into society, the need for responsible technology governance has never been greater. This educational session introduces participants to the DIITA Principles (IEEE Standards Association Industry Connections Program), a human- and planet-centered approach to guiding the design, deployment, and oversight […]

Audio compression is often proposed to improve the efficiency of multimodal large language models, but its impact on downstream task performance remains underexplored. This talk examines how semantic neural audio codecs behave under token reduction constraints, using cross-modal attention as a signal to discard frames with low semantic content. On audio question-answering benchmarks, attention-guided frame […]

IEEE SCV-OEB SSIT Chapter Meeting From Hangar Deck to AI Lab: How the USS Hornet Built Its Own Private LLM Join us for a Member Technical Meeting on how the USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum built a private large language model using Google’s NotebookLM and 165 curated content sources. Speakers Mark Rowell, CIO […]

As artificial intelligence transitions from experimental deployments to mission-critical production infrastructure, organizations face a fundamental shift from model-centric optimization to system-centric engineering. While advances in model architectures and accelerator technologies have driven recent AI breakthroughs, long-term performance, reliability, and sustainability increasingly depend on the interaction between compute, memory, networking, software runtimes, operations, and governance. This […]

[] Co-Sponsored by the Photonics Chapter As silicon photonics and co-packaged optics (CPO) technologies continue to scale for AI, cloud, and high-bandwidth networking applications, reliability qualification methodologies are becoming increasingly critical. While much of the industry focus has been on performance and integration density, standardized approaches for qualification, reliability assessment and long-term service life prediction […]

Paving the AI Superhighway: Where Power Meets Intelligence As part of our 2026 year-round symposium series themed “AI Super-Highway”, this symposium will focus on advanced power technologies for AI era and will be held at Intel SC-12 Auditorium: 3600 Juliette Ln, Santa Clara, CA, 95054, on Saturday, July 18th, 2026, 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM […]
