SUMMARY:Challenges and Opportunities in High-Frequency Wireless Power Transfer Systems
DESCRIPTION:The combined Santa Clara Valley\, San Francisco\, & Oakland/East Bay IEEE PELS is very pleased to invite you to our upcoming in-person event. We are excited and honored to have Assistant Professor Jungwon Choi of the University of Washington to speak on the topic of Challenges and Opportunities in High-Frequency Wireless Power Transfer Systems.\nHere's more about the talk from the Speaker:\nModern electronic systems have rapidly transformed to realize automation\, such as in factories or warehouses\, and autonomous vehicles. As demand for automation grows\, enabling technologies such as artificial intelligence\, control\, and intelligent charging systems become beneficial. However\, while other technologies have been considerably revolutionized\, the effort to develop an innovative and efficient charging system for automation has not. In this talk\, I will first discuss high-frequency converters in wireless power transfer (WPT) systems to improve the efficiency and power density of the system. Then\, I will introduce challenges and opportunities to design coupling coils for WPT systems at high frequencies. Finally\, I will preview the direction of future work\, such as developing efficient high-frequency converters for emerging applications.\nSpeaker(s): Jungwon Choi\nRoom: Team Room (3rd Floor) – Auditorium\, Bldg: Plug and Play Tech Center\, 440 N Wolfe Rd\, Sunnyvale\, California\, United States\, 94085

SUMMARY:Decision-Aid Tools and Fast Charging Strategies for EV-Based Evacuations
DESCRIPTION:Decision-Aid Tools and Fast Charging Strategies for EV-Based Evacuations\nAbstract: California is rapidly transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs) as part of its efforts to\ndecarbonize the transportation sector. However\, the state is highly vulnerable to extreme\nweather events\, including wildfires\, floods\, and earthquakes. Between 2017 and 2019\, more\nthan one million residents were ordered to evacuate due to wildfires alone. Such large-scale\nemergencies can disrupt the power grid\, causing blackouts that limit EV charging\navailability. In the worst-case scenario\, insufficient charging infrastructure and limited\naccess to power could hinder the safe evacuation of EV users\, particularly in situations\nrequiring rapid departure. This highlights the urgent need for robust planning strategies to\nintegrate EVs into emergency response frameworks.\nThis talk will first introduce decision-aid tools designed to assist communities and\ngovernment officials in planning EV-based evacuations. Our tool provides recommendations\nfor mobile charging placement\, congestion-aware routing\, and recharging strategies aimed\nat minimizing evacuation time. The second part of the presentation will focus on fast EV\ncharging strategies during emergencies. These strategies are designed to reduce charging\ntime while ensuring electro-chemical and thermal safety of battery-based EVs.\nBiography: Ricardo de Castro received his Licenciatura and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical\nand Computer Engineering from the University of Porto\, Portugal\, in 2006 and 2013\,\nrespectively.

SUMMARY:Environmental Behavioral Sciences Seminar " Solar Irrigation Farming and the Jevons Paradox in Pakistan."
DESCRIPTION:Solar Irrigation Farming and the Jevons Paradox in Pakistan\nThe rapid decline in solar PV pricing over the recent decade has shifted both access and opportunity for solar power generation and use.  Solar irrigation pumping (SIP) systems are one such emerging opportunity\, whose use is rapidly expanding across South Asia in particular.  SIP systems improve water access and supply reliability for farmers\, at the possible risk of groundwater overconsumption.  As SIP use expands\, there is considerable interest in the possibility of using feed-in tariffs (FITs) for solar-generated electricity as a tool to manage groundwater consumption.  While a FIT may reduce the intensity of groundwater consumption by SIP owners\, they may also increase the attractiveness of SIP systems overall\, leading to expansion of SIP use and increased consumption – a possible Jevons’ Paradox.  We developed a multi-part behavioral experiment to assess this possibility and piloted it in Punjab\, Pakistan in 2022.  I present results from this pilot work\, showing a plausible case for a Jevons’ paradox\, and discuss within an ‘Environment through development’ framework.\nBiography\nAndrew Reid Bell is the inaugural Schleifer Family Professor of Sustainability in the Department of Global Development at Cornell University.   Bell’s lab at Cornell focuses on rural livelihoods decision-making\, and the pro-poor development challenge of broadening opportunities and enabling families to take advantage of them. Key methods for the group are coupled natural-human systems modeling (especially agent-based modeling)\, and behavioral experiments to inform them.  Work by current lab members spans migration\, irrigation\, human-wildlife conflict\, and agricultural technology adoption. Bell earned a PhD in Natural Resource Management from the University of Michigan in 2010\, followed by a post-doctoral fellowship at the Earth Institute at Columbia University\, and positions at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)\, NYU\, and Boston University.

SUMMARY:Wireless Power Transmission based on Retro-reflective Beamforming
DESCRIPTION:With the rapid development of Internet of Things\, a vast number of small\, low-cost\, and low-power mobile electronic devices\, such as radio frequency identification tags and wireless sensors\, will become integral parts of our society in the near future. Supplying electrical power to these devices wirelessly would eliminate/relieve their battery life limitation\, and therefore is envisioned to be one of the enabling technologies for the next-generation Internet of Things. Since wireless power delivery must be dedicated to the designated receivers in space\, it is inevitable to employ one narrow electromagnetic beam as the carrier of wireless power toward each mobile device. The retro-reflective beamforming technique has excellent potential to accomplish efficient wireless power transmission in the context of Internet of Things\, as it is capable of keeping track of multiple mobile devices and then generating wireless power beams to the devices accordingly. The primary merit of retro-reflective beamforming technique is that wireless power transmission is augmented by radar tracking. Specifically\, wireless power transmission is initiated by pilot signals broadcasted from wireless power receiver(s); and in response to the pilot signals\, a wireless power transmitter delivers directional microwave power beams to the receiver(s). This presentation reviews our past\, ongoing\, and future research efforts on wireless power transmission based on retro-reflective beamforming. This talk starts with the fundamental principles and a brief history of retro-reflective beamforming technique. Next\, the pros and cons of retro-reflective beamforming are analyzed via comparison with other wireless power transmission techniques. Plentiful theoretical and experimental results collected in our research demonstrate that the retro-reflective beamforming scheme enables microwave power beams to follow the location of mobile wireless power receiver(s) dynamically as long as the receiver(s) broadcast pilot signals periodically. The last part of the presentation discusses the challenges pertinent to the practical application of retro-reflective beamforming technique.\nSpeaker(s): Mingyu Lu\,\nRoom: 4021\, Bldg: Sobrato Campus for Discovery and Innovation\, Santa Clara University\, Santa Clara\, California\, United States\, 95053

SUMMARY:Protecting Future AI Products: A Holistic IP Approach
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid in-person and online event. Pre-registration is required for either.\nThe recent DeepSeek event and the 99% decline in Large Language Model (LLM) pricing over just two years both highlight the accelerating commoditization of AI. While the widespread availability of low-cost or free foundation models benefits companies deploying AI\, it also raises concerns about how software companies can sustain profit margins in an increasingly competitive landscape.\nThis challenge ties into broader IP protection issues\, particularly as AI rapidly advances toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). The shifting IP landscape—where copyright protections for AI models and AI-generated software may be significantly weaker than those for traditional software—poses additional hurdles. Companies seeking to impose downstream restrictions\, such as preventing model output scraping or unauthorized model distillation\, must navigate these complexities carefully.\nIn this talk\, IP attorney Fredrick Tsang will examine these issues through the lens of IP protection strategies\, including contractual safeguards\, copyright considerations\, and patent law. A wide audience will find this talk of interest because of the growing importance of AI in the world today\, and the many areas of AI that Tsang will address.\nSpeaker(s): Frederick Tang\,\n673 South Milpitas Blvd.\, Milpitas\, California\, United States\, 95035\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/481836

SUMMARY:2025 Build-Up Substrate Symposium
DESCRIPTION:[]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 build-up substrates used by major IDMs are manufactured in Asian countries including Taiwan\, Japan and China. However\, there are multiple activities starting up in the US\, and this is why a gathering of the North American players is important. This symposium is geared for all those involved in the supply chain of build-up substrates in the US\, as well as users. This Symposium is an opportunity for all build-up substrate players to meet\, network and cohesively work with funding agencies who are invited to this symposium to focus on onshoring build-up substrate production and utilization.\nSEMI World Headquarters\, 673 South Milpitas Blvd\, Milpitas\, California\, United States\, 95035

SUMMARY:Building Strategic Competence: An Urgent Priority for Government and the Academy with H.R. McMaster and Stephen Kotkin
DESCRIPTION:The seventh session will discuss Building Strategic Competence: An Urgent Priority for Government and the Academy with H.R. McMaster and Stephen Kotkin on Wednesday\, May 7\, 2025\, from 10:00 – 11:00 am PT.\nThe Hoover Institution Center for Revitalizing American Institutions webinar series features speakers who are developing innovative ideas\, conducting groundbreaking research\, and taking important actions to improve trust and efficacy in American institutions. Speaker expertise and topics span governmental institutions\, civic organizations and practice\, and the role of public opinion and culture in shaping our democracy. The webinar series builds awareness about how we can individually and collectively revitalize American institutions to ensure our country’s democracy delivers on its promise.\nWe might define strategic competence as the ability to integrate all elements of national power and efforts of like-minded partners to advance US interests. The nation needs leaders who can think in real time and understand what it takes to implement ideas and strategies on the ground. The academy has an important role in educating leaders to compete effectively in war and in competitions short of war. A reinvigoration of history in higher-level education is particularly important\, as many courses in diplomatic and military history have been displaced by theory-based courses\, which tend to mask the complex causality of events and obscure the cultural\, psychological\, social\, and economic elements that distinguish cases from one another. Some theories risk sapping students of strategic empathy and encourage them to reduce complex problem sets into frameworks that create only the illusion of understanding. A growing interest in applied history in some universities is a promising development.

SUMMARY:Got a Lot of Chip Designin’ to Do
DESCRIPTION:Chiplets are now the standard way to design chips at leading-edge nodes for applications such as AI and high-performance computing. Obvious challenges include the new stage of heterogeneous integration\, the new bus that connects the chiplets\, and the new advanced packages that hold it all together. No more afterthoughts; packaging\, test\, integration\, and manufacturing must all start right with the design. And design teams and foundry teams must work closely together to achieve the best result. Power\, thermal\, and other analyses must evaluate both individual chiplets and the system-as-a-whole (including the package). The foundry will play a larger role than ever before because it will generally provide a choice of packages and perform the integration\, and it will need fully tested (known good) dies to avoid wasting time and money on chips that fail inspection.\nSpeaker(s): Jawad Nasrullah\,\nRoom: 225\, Bldg: Heafey\, Santa Clara University\, Santa Clara\, California\, United States\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/477704
