Test-and-Measurement Signal Generators: Current Status and Future Trends
2025-09-17 18:30 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/499679
The signal generator is a key instrument of virtually any RF/microwave system . It generates a stimulus signal on the transmitter side or is used as a local oscillator in a variety of up- and down-conversion schemes. Signal generators are also one of the fastest growing segments in the test-and-measurement market with an annual growth rate of about 7% . Demand is driven by the wireless communications, aerospace and defense, and automotive industries as well as by new technologies such as 6G . The principal driver behind the 6G technology is the ever-increasing need for more capacity and higher data rates in wireless networks. Due to the heavy use of existing frequency bands, there is a strong interest to use higher frequencies to enable more bandwidth. This is generating the interest to move to beyond 100 GHz carrier frequencies and to the Terahertz domain. Aside from the frequency coverage, phase noise remains one of the most critical parameters that impose the ultimate limit in the system’s ability to resolve signals of small amplitude. Furthermore, today the industry demands more complex waveforms to transmit more information over available frequency bands.
Signal Generator characteristics depend heavily on particular architectures that can be classified into a few main groups, namely direct analog, direct digital, and indirect schemes . As of today, traditional indirect phase-lock-loop (PLL) architectures still dominate. On the other hand, direct analog synthesis is the most advanced approach that demonstrates extremely fast switching speed and low phase noise. Future developments, however, are associated with direct digital synthesis (DDS) due to the rapid progress in solid-state technologies. The extension of usable DDS bandwidth to several tens of gigahertz with its spurious content reduction is expected. Arbitrary waveform generators (AWG) are utilized to generate more complex waveforms. Similar to DDS technologies, the extension of AWG usable bandwidth is expected. Such complex signals can be further up-converted to millimeter-wave and sub-THz frequencies targeting future communications systems such as 6G. Current architectures, new market trends and future solutions are going to be discussed.

From Collision to Discovery: Machine Learning at the Large Hadron Collider
Valley Research Park, 319 N Bernardo Ave, Mountain View, CA, 94043, United States
How do we solve the universe’s biggest secrets? At the [Large Hadron Collider (LHC)](https://home.cern/science/accelerators/large-hadron-collider) – a 27-kilometer ring beneath the French-Swiss border – protons collide at nearly the speed of light, recreating conditions like just after the Big Bang. These collisions have led to groundbreaking insights, including the discovery of the [Higgs boson](https://home.cern/science/physics/higgs-boson) in 2012, yet the greatest mysteries remain: what is the nature of dark matter and dark energy, which make up 95% of the universe’s energy but have never been observed directly.
Hunting for these elusive phenomena requires extraordinary algorithms and data analysis. The detectors at the LHC have access to data at an incredible rate of 60 terabytes per second – a perfect challenge for fast, high‑precision data analysis and machine learning (ML). In this talk, we’ll explore how ML powers countless stages of the scientific process: from real‑time event selection and particle reconstruction to the data analyses that lead to published discoveries.
Join us for a virtual visit to the LHC, where scientists push the limits of data and algorithms to shed light on the 95% of the universe that still lies in the dark.

Digital Twins for Printed Electronics for 3D Packaging, High-performance Sensors, and High-capacity Batteries
2025-09-18 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/481231
[]Printed electronics has emerged as a versatile technique for on-demand fabrication of passives, interconnects, and active devices. Our group has recently extended this technique to create freeform devices in Three-Dimensional space that have opened exciting application areas for this technology. The manufacturing process for printed electronics, however, can suffer from process drifts and does not have an active feedback loop to fix errors. In this research, we develop a digital twin for aerosol jet 3D printing, a jetting-based method to create printed electronics to address this concern. This work, done in collaboration with an ECE faculty at CMU, matches observations with outcomes expected from a physics-based process model, and continuously updates the hidden variables to minimize this error via probabilistic estimation techniques.
We then use the aerosol jet 3D printing to demonstrate devices with extraordinary performances that cannot be achieved by any other method. Specifically, we show 3D electrodes by this technique that enable detection of pathogens and breast cancer biomarkers in 10-12 seconds at femtomolar levels (fastest detection yet reported). We also show fully customizable brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that record electrical signals between neurons at densities of thousands of electrodes/cm2, which is 5-10× the current state-of-the-art technologies. We also demonstrated the printing of high-capacity Li-ion batteries and thin flexible robotic skins with embedded sensors.

Join SF Bay ACM Chapter for an insightful discussion on:
**Abstract:**
Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly reshaping enterprise AI, but real-world deployments demand far more than fine-tuning and API calls. They require sophisticated architectures capable of scaling inference, integrating multi-modal data streams, and enforcing responsible AI practices—all under the constraints of enterprise SLAs and cost considerations.
In this session, I’ll deliver a deep technical dive into architecting multi-agent AI systems that combine LLMs with computer vision and structured data pipelines. We’ll explore:
* **Multi-Agent System Design:** Architectural patterns for decomposing enterprise workflows into specialized LLM-driven agents, including communication protocols, context sharing, and state management.
* **Vision-Language Integration:** Engineering methods to fuse embeddings from computer vision models with LLM token streams for tasks such as visual question answering, document understanding, and real-time decision support.
* **Optimization for GPU Inference:** Detailed strategies for memory optimization, quantization, mixed-precision computation, and batching to achieve high throughput and low latency in LLM deployment on modern GPU hardware (e.g., NVIDIA A100/H100).
* **Observability and Responsible AI:** Techniques for building observability layers into LLM pipelines—capturing token-level traces, detecting drift, logging model confidence—and implementing fairness audits and risk mitigation protocols at runtime.
Drawing on practical examples from large-scale enterprise deployments across retail, healthcare, and finance, I’ll discuss the engineering trade-offs, tooling stacks, and lessons learned in translating research-grade LLMs into production-grade systems.
This talk is designed for AI engineers and researchers eager to understand the technical complexities—and solutions—behind scaling multi-modal, responsible AI systems that deliver real business value.

Title: Natural Language Interaction Protocol: A Universal Application-Level Protocol for the Age of Generative AI
Abstract: The advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) has made an interactive natural language interaction feasible between machines in a manner that did not exist before. An implication is that a natural language interface can replace many mobile applications that are used today. Just like the advent of the browser in 1990s simplified technology by replacing a plethora of client-side applications with a single standard application, a common natural language interaction protocol can potentially replace the plethora of mobile applications that exists today, providing a universal application layer protocol. Convergence to a universal application layer protocol would bring significant benefits to all segments of society – consumers can use a single application for various interactions, businesses will have a simpler maintenance burden for their IT infrastructure, and integration among different businesses can be streamlined.

3D Micro/Nanoprinted Soft Robots: From Super Mario Bros. to Endovascular Surgery
2025-09-24 18:50 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/498436
During former President Barack Obama’s 2013 State of the Union Address, he remarked on the potential for additive manufacturing—or colloquially, “three-dimensional (3D) printing”—“to revolutionize the way we make almost everything.” Despite this potential, progress has been impeded by broad challenges associated with 3D printing technologies at smaller length scales. Recent breakthroughs in 3D micro/nanoprinting, however, hold unique promise to overcome past barriers and enable new frontiers for fundamental and applied research. In this meeting, Prof. Ryan D. Sochol will discuss how his Bioinspired Advanced Manufacturing (BAM) Laboratory is leveraging “Two-Photon Direct Laser Writing”—an additive manufacturing technique with printing resolutions down to the 100 nanometer range—for emerging biomedical applications, including soft microrobotic surgical instruments for minimally invasive interventions.

Re-engineering the World with Self-Assembly

Re-engineering the World with Self Assembly
[]
Abstract:
Nature has evolved to self-assemble complex functional architectures in a sustainable bottom-up way. From bacteria to humans, biological systems arise from a common set of atomically precise nanoscale building blocks such as proteins that give rise to complex functions such as sensing, computation, and actuation.
In contrast, most human-made devices are composed of building blocks with much less precision, and are assembled through a top-down process which is highly inflexible and unsustainable. Drawbacks aside, these devices are highly useful and can often surpass their biological counterparts (e.g., computers playing chess). This success is largely due to a systematic and modular engineering approach where simple but well-understood components such as transistors are put together in a programmable way. Is it possible to develop a new approach to building complex devices that combines the strengths of biomolecular self-assembly and systematic engineering?
In this talk I will discuss recent work towards this goal using DNA as a nanoscale, programmable building block . However, despite being the most programmable molecule for information processing, DNA lacks the basic physical attributes required for building high performance electronic devices.
I will discuss ongoing work towards a new type of nanoscale building blocks in which DNA can be flexibly replaced with other materials such as metals and semiconductors. These nanoscale modules can be designed to self-assemble into a variety of plasmonic, photonic, and electronic architectures unattainable with any current nanofabrication techniques. This novel approach integrates the advantages of natural bottom-up assembly and engineered top-down programming and may lead to a host of new intelligent devices for technology and medicine. Two specific devices we are currently developing in our lab are single photon sensors with spectral resolution and electronic sensors for multiplexed detection of large biological targets.

Generative audio and its applications
2025-10-01 17:00 - 19:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Room: 629, Bldg: Bannan, 901 12th Ave, Seattle, Washington, United States, 98109-5210, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/497967
Join Dr. Ivan Tashev, Partner Software Architect at Microsoft Research, for an insightful session on "Generative Audio and Its Applications." Explore the cutting-edge role of audio in generative AI, from enhancing emotional connections to enabling multimodal experiences. Dr. Tashev will delve into innovative AI systems that generate and synchronize audio across different modalities, with real-world applications in fields like accessibility, entertainment, and beyond. This talk will feature key research from the Audio and Acoustics Research Group at Microsoft Research, shedding light on how generative audio is transforming the way we interact with technology.
Topic: Generative audio and its applications
Description:
Audio—including sound and music—has the power to foster emotional connections and promote social bonding. As a vital human sense that complements vision, it remains relatively underexplored in generative AI research. By positioning audio as a key social-emotional layer of AI, we underscore its transformative potential in building more inspiring and context-aware systems.
This talk presents an overview of key approaches within the broader generative AI landscape, with a focus on the role of audio. Audio-language models can generate captions, labels, or free-form text from audio signals, enabling applications such as question answering. Moreover, generating audio from prior audio inputs or from other modalities—such as text, images, or video—opens the door to compelling multimodal models and experiences. For instance, AI systems can synchronize audio and video streams or produce coordinated audio-visual outputs.
The talk will be illustrated with research projects from the Audio and Acoustics Research Group at Microsoft Research.

Custom Silicon Beyond GPUs—Scaling Intelligence into the AGI Age
2025-10-02 18:30 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, California, United States, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/498701
The race toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is accelerating, powered by ever-larger and more capable LLMs. But as these models scale, we are hitting the physical limits of general-purpose GPUs. Memory access is now slower and more energy-hungry than computation itself. Power demands are straining datacenter infrastructure. And as models span more chips, interconnect delays—not compute—become the bottleneck.
This talk explores how custom silicon—such as AWS Trainium, Google TPU, Cerebras WSE, and Groq LPU—is designed to overcome these barriers.
By keeping memory closer to compute, optimizing data movement, and delivering higher efficiency per watt, domain-specific accelerators are reshaping the hardware stack around the needs of LLMs.
Attendees will gain a clear framework for understanding why this shift matters, how it breaks past the Memory, Power, and Interconnect walls, and what it means for building a more scalable, cost-effective, and energy-efficient foundation on the road to AGI.

Synopsis:
In an era where data never sleeps, streaming algorithms offer a powerful toolkit for extracting meaningful insights from high-velocity data flows. This talk explores some foundational techniques that enable efficient, real-time analytics with minimal memory requirements. The algorithms covered include a clever bit-based strategy for approximating the count of 1s in a sliding window, ideal for binary streams where space efficiency is paramount. Another algorithm helps estimate statistical moments (mean, variance, skewness) using compact sketches, enabling a deeper understanding of stream distributions without storing the entire dataset. One other algorithm identifies trending items with exponential decay, giving more weight to recent data, a crucial method for dynamic environments like social media or sensor networks. Techniques like these form the backbone of intelligent stream processing. Through intuitive examples and practical applications, this session will demystify how these algorithms work, why they matter, and how they can be used to monitor, summarize, and react to data in motion.

Lessons from the Origin and Growth of Silicon Valley: Impacts on Tech Hubs and on the IEEE
2025-10-09 09:30 - 10:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/500918
[]IEEE Day/Week Lecture – from the IEEE History Center
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 startups and tech hubs? How has Silicon Valley directly affected the IEEE?
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 SF Bay Area infrastructure that developed – these factors pretty much determined that the semiconductor and IC industries would be located in the Santa Clara Valley, and that the Valley would remain the world’s innovation center as new technologies emerge, and be the model for innovation worldwide.
This non-technical talk will give an exciting and colorful history of development and innovation that began in Palo Alto in 1909. You’ll meet some of the colorful characters – Cyril Elwell, Lee De Forest, Bill Eitel, Charles Litton, Fred Terman, David Packard, Bill Hewlett, Bill Shockley and others – who came to define our worldwide electronics industries through their inventions and process development. We will profile four IEEE presidents from Silicon Valley: Fred Terman and his son Lew Terman; Bill Hewlett; and Charles (“Bud”) Eldon. You’ll understand some of the novel management approaches that have become the hallmarks of its tech startups.

Quantum Epidemiology Analysis (QEA)
2025-10-11 09:00 - 11:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/505935
The ongoing debate comparing chronic illnesses in vaccinated versus unvaccinated children is a topic needs fundamental review of
Epidemiology.
Dr KRS Murthy having been through a long career would like to present Epidemiology at foundational level and the modalities of
viruses. He will present the foundational concepts, especially in its repeated and natural to the viruses modes of mutation.
He will also present the potential of quantum computing in analyzing how the viruses mutate, all possible mutation modes, how the
viruses spread, how the infected spread while travelling on the road, even simple walking around, airline travels, as the viruses ride
on the carriers, and the voracity of the viruses in total effective spreading.
Extremely important, the vaccinations developed by researchers, produced, and distributed to the vaccination centers, also the
misconceptions that vaccination produced by pharmaceutical companies would broadly take care of vaccinating for the target virus,
not realizing the the vaccinations need to be designed to target the latest virus morphed version, further manufactured, produced,
distributed to the vaccination centers every time the virus mutates.
Important difficulty is in identifying new mutations of the viruses diligently scouting in all parts of the globe, further collect the latest
mutation version to be as a next step to ensure the new vaccination particularly targets not only the previous mutations that are
already covered, but include all mutations over time.
To add to discourse we like to introduce Prakash Ramchandran a veteran of technology who was part of year 2000 HIPAA regulations and
recent Quantum and Machine learning concepts to enable Analyse the various Data Sets. Plus the expert Doctor Taposh Dutta-Roy
who has several years of experience in shaping quantum Models for Health Outcomes based on his work at Kaier OPermanente. He
has been leading Silicon Valley Quantum and Advanced Computing (SVQAC) for last several years.
After the presentation by Dr .K.R.S Murthy there will be debate amongst the panel followed by a Q&A session

Analog and Mixed Signal Circuits and Systems for Emerging Applications
2025-10-13 10:40 - 23:45 (America/Los_Angeles) | Room, 192 California Ave, Santa Cruz, CA, United States
Abstract
Quantum Computing, having the ability to exponentially enhance the raw computing power, and Artificial Intelligence (AI), having the ability to impart unprecedented intelligence to connected devices through algorithms that learn, are the two key technologies of the 21st century. Although novel devices can significantly advance the field of quantum computing, conventional CMOS based analog and mixed signal circuits can enable quantum computing using classical op amp based circuits. AI algorithms on the other hand are tolerant to errors in computation, thereby enabling approximate and low-precision computing which has resulted in the resurrection of more than half-a-century old analog computing.
This talk would present various analog computing techniques that could enable AI algorithms or more specifically machine learning (ML) algorithms. The talk could also delve into mixed-sginal computing where it will dive into the details of in-memory computing as well as adoption of novel memory devices, viz., memristors, to enable energy efficient computing. The talk would also present some classical analog hardware for emulating quantum algorithms, like Grover's search algorithm, for quantum computing systems.

3D Modeling for Cardiac Surgical Planning
2025-10-14 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | 567 Yosemite Dr, Milpitas, California, United States, 95035, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/497126
This is a hybrid in-person and online event. Pre-registration is required for either.
Medical image-based modeling and digital twins have emerged as powerful tools to support patient-specific cardiac surgical planning in adults and children. This presentation will discuss 3D modeling techniques that provide a complete pipeline from medical image segmentation to 3D anatomic models and blood flow simulations. The technology that makes this possible was recently extended to model the whole heart, including blood flow, tissue mechanics, electrophysiology, cardiac contraction, and heart valves.
This presentation will also discuss recent applications of tools for clinical decision support. A first example is in adult cardiac surgery, where patient-specific modeling has been applied for vein graft failure prevention after coronary bypass graft surgery. Another example is in pediatric cardiac surgery where models have been used for clinical decision support in valve repair, flow re-direction, and bi-ventricular reconstruction. The program will conclude with a discussion of the open-source software and data resources that are available via the (https://simvascular.github.io/) and the (https://www.vascularmodel.com/).
