The rapid growth of 3D advanced packaging introduces new challenges in inspection and failure analysis, where complex structures such as microbumps, redistribution layers (RDLs), and through-silicon vias (TSVs) demand reliable non-destructive testing (NDT). Conventional approaches, including Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM) and X-ray imaging, are limited by noise, resolution, and defect visibility, creating barriers for reproducible […]

This virtual meeting can accommodate up to 100 attendees. While military systems in general have to operate in tough electromagnetic environments, missile programs require special attention and considerations from an EMI/EMC perspective. From environments to requirements to best practices, this presentation will discuss key focuses of EMI/EMC engineering in relation to missile programs and systems […]

Building on the tremendous response to Dhanashree Lele’s ACM talk on Multi-Agent Architectures for Enterprise AI, this 2-day, research-caliber, hands-on workshop is designed to advance the state of practice in Agentic AI system design, evaluation, and optimization. This workshop will guide participants through theory-to-deployment workflows for constructing next-generation multi-agent frameworks, benchmarking agentic behaviors, and applying […]

Silicon Valley Engineering Council's annual Open House features networking with refreshments and a Biotech panel discussion, including engineering's role in healthcare futures. The population in the United States and many Western countries is aging. The cost for developing and using healthcare is rising so much that one wonders if it is sustainable. New ways of thinking […]

Hosted via Google Meet - https://meet.google.com/pqw-trcy-xpg The financial industry is entering a new phase of intelligence—one where AI systems are no longer just analytical tools but autonomous collaborators capable of interpreting goals, reasoning over complex data, and taking context-aware actions. This talk explores the emergence of agentic AI systems in finance—AI architectures designed with intent, […]

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) power amplifiers (PAs) are critical building blocks in next-generation radar, satellite, defense, and 6G communication systems, where output power, bandwidth, and efficiency must be achieved under stringent size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints. Among the enabling technologies, Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) continue to dominate due to their complementary strengths in […]

Abstract: Advances in soft materials, low-power circuits, and wireless energy harvesting now allow imperceptible, long-lived bioelectronic systems that are practical beyond the lab bench. This talk presents translational pathways for multimodal bioelectronics that bridge engineering innovation with clinical impact. We highlight epidermal and implantable platforms that acquire high-fidelity biosignals—EEG/IMU for neonatal seizure risk and sleep, […]

[] This symposium will focus on quantified reliability, accelerated testing and probabilistic assessments of the useful lifetime of electronic, photonic, MEMS and MOEMS materials, assemblies, packages and systems in electronics and photonics packaging. This includes failure modes, mechanisms, testing schemes, accelerated testing, stress levels, and environmental stresses. Visit our website for details, for our Advance […]

The power industry is under pressure to rapidly expand infrastructure to meet growing demands from both consumers and producers. But sticking to traditional design and construction methods may no longer be enough. One of the biggest bottlenecks? Hardware dependencies—like waiting on control wiring or specific components—that delay commissioning and inflate project timelines. This presentation explores […]

Inferencing has become ubiquitous across cloud, regional, edge, and device environments, powering a wide spectrum of AI use cases spanning vision, language, and traditional machine learning applications. In recent years, Large Language Models (LLMs), initially developed for natural language tasks, have expanded to multimodal applications including vision speech, reasoning and planning each demanding distinct service-level […]

[]Trends in consumer goods are leaning towards thinner, more compact products with higher performance than their predecessors. Today’s consumer wants lightweight, portable, battery-operated gear that is powerful enough to satisfy their needs for speed and ease of use. One of the biggest challenges facing product design is thermal management. Case temperature limits for products that […]

Careers don’t always follow a straight line — and that’s a good thing! In this talk, I’ll share lessons learned from my own journey and from others who’ve navigated career twists, pauses, and pivots. You’ll hear practical strategies for building confidence, staying current, and navigating transitions at every career stage. We’ll look at how to […]

This is a hybrid in-person and online event. Pre-registration is required for either. The holy grail of medical diagnostics is a test that is accurate, sensitive, non-invasive, and inexpensive.
