In this presentation, I will present some of the recent progresses in building conversational agents, with a focus on the speech modality. I will introduce desirable properties of such systems and explain some of the key concepts, core ideas, and main technologies developed in practical systems.

[]Chiplets have become a compelling approach to scaling and heterogeneous integration e.g. integrating workload-specific processors and massive bandwidth memory systems into computing systems; integrating die from multiple function-optimized process nodes into one product; integrating silicon from multiple businesses into one product. Chiplet-based products have been produced in high volume by multiple companies using proprietary chiplet […]
Silicon Valley is commonly acknowledged as the tech capital of the world. How did Silicon Valley come into being, and what can we learn for our own careers? 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 […]
The talk will explore some of the research projects in the Adaptive Microsystems (AdaMist) lab led by Dr. Cretu, with an emphasis on a common vision and strategy. Polymer-based transducers, fabricated using green, rapid and low-cost processes, have been used for inertial and ultrasonic transducers. MEMS accelerometers with piezoelectric polymers show the promise of novel […]
This is a hybrid in-person and online event. Pre-registration is required for either. Conversational AI systems today speak with remarkable confidence, often giving the impression of understanding and reasoning. However, teams deploying these systems often quickly encounter familiar problems: drift, hallucinations, contradictory answers, and conversations that quietly lose their original purpose. Why do systems that […]
Th[]e transition to 3D heterogeneous integration has fundamentally changed the thermal characterization problem. Buried heat sources, anisotropic thin-film materials, through-silicon vias, and multilayer stacked structures require measurement techniques with sub-micron spatial resolution, depth sensitivity, and a temporal range — capabilities that infrared thermography and Raman spectroscopy cannot reliably deliver at this level of structural complexity. […]

Ontario Power Generation’s Darlington New Nuclear Project (DNNP) is at the forefront of deploying Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology in Canada, anchored by the GE Vernova Hitachi BWRX-300. As North America’s first commercial, grid-scale SMR, DNNP plans up to four units totaling 1,200 MW. The project introduces advanced safety features, including natural circulation cooling, integral […]

[]Join us for an insightful webinar with Francesco Carobolante, founder of IoTissimo® LLC and an EPS Distinguished Lecturer, as he explores the critical challenges and innovative solutions that advanced packaging can provide to address the "Power Wall". With over 30 years of industry experience and a tenure at Intel’s Corporate Strategy Office, Francesco will delve […]
As uOLED and uLED technologies transition from research to high-volume manufacturing, system performance is increasingly constrained by process variability rather than design intent. Electrical, thermal, and mechanical decisions made during manufacturing directly translate into optical non-uniformity, efficiency loss, and reliability challenges. Understanding these process-to-performance linkages is critical for building scalable, high-performance emissive display systems. Virtual: […]

We are living in the era of heterogeneous integration driven by fast, efficient and big data computing resources at our fingertips. The mega-monolithic silicon chip is a thing of the past, replaced with 3D heterogeneous integration of chiplets onto a platform made of an organic build-up substrate. Volume manufacturers of build-up substrates are entirely based […]
