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. For solid tumors such as pancreatic cancer and for many neurological diseases, current diagnostics come too little, too late. An exciting direction of research in this […]
[]The rapid rise in power density and complexity of electronic systems has made thermal management a critical challenge for ensuring reliability, performance, and sustainability. Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers transformative opportunities to address this challenge by enabling data-driven modeling, optimization, and predictive control of cooling systems. By integrating AI with experimental and physics-based approaches, adaptive models […]
[] Requirements on the high-performance compute (HPC) systems from AI workloads necessitates transition to larger package sizes with 2.5D to 3.5D integration and density scaling at every level in the stack. Several competing packaging architectures are emerging to solve the compute and power efficiency challenge presented by AI workloads. Each presents unique lithography challenges such […]

The Product Safety Engineering Society Bay Area Joint Section Chapter (SCV/SF/OEB) invites you to a virtual meetup of professionals interested in product safety and compliance. We will discuss the future of the chapter and plan future events. Agenda: - Business Meeting - Plan future activity of the chapter - New Officer Elections Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/518446
The dynamic behavior of the electric grid is changing rapidly as inverter-based resources (IBRs) replace traditional synchronous generators in delivering critical system services. This rapid shift—driven by the growth of distributed generation and energy storage—requires a fundamental re-evaluation of how we define and assess grid stability. In particular, the traditional concept of grid “inertia” must […]
This workshop moves beyond web-based interfaces to demonstrate how Gemini API, accessed directly via the CLI can function as a powerful AI development agent, right inside your terminal. It eliminates context-switching and helps you go friction-free. Attendees will engage in hands-on exercises to leverage Gemini for real-time, terminal-based tasks. Speaker(s): Ramesh Rajini Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/521828
[]Join us for this virtual meeting! This event brings together two focused talks that connect the architecture of AI in Blockchain/Web3 with practical career guidance for professionals entering this fast-growing space. The first talk explores how intelligent systems are designed, evaluated, and governed in blockchain and fintech environments. The second outlines the skills, roles, and […]
Artificial intelligence can only create real value when the underlying data, architecture, and governance are ready for it. In this talk, as a system architect I will share practical lessons from experience of designing and leading large-scale insurance platforms at three startup insurance companies, including quoting engines, carrier integrations, and cloud-native lead acquisition systems. Drawing […]
Longitudinal and continuous monitoring of cough is crucial for early and accurate diagnosis of respiratory diseases. Recent developments in wearables provides at-home remote symptom monitoring with respect to more accurate and less frequent assessment in the clinics, but face practical challenges such as speech privacy, poor audio quality and background noise in uncontrolled real-world settings. […]
[]In 2025, the landscape of digital money is shifting rapidly as the GENIUS Act establishes a federal framework for payment stablecoins while U.S. CBDC efforts pause and other regions move ahead with their own digital currency projects. This event will provide a clear overview of how stablecoins, CBDCs, tokenized deposits, and new payment rails are […]
