The internal electric field plays a fundamental role in radiation detectors and access to it is therefore strategic. An important and widely used material in room temperature detectors is CdTe. This semiconductor exhibits the electro-optical Pockels effect, which is the linear response of the refraction index to an applied electric field. This allows to probe the electric field distribution inside the detectors with good spatial and temporal resolution. In this talk I will show recent results related to optically induced electric field perturbations. Trap-related optical doping is demonstrated in Schottky devices. Original experimental approaches enable to highlight the local perturbation on the timescale of the charge carriers transit time. A 2D Electric field imaging on such a timescale together with the visualization of free carrier motion is in progress, which is expected to provide a deep insight into charge transport mechanisms. The underlying scope of the present talk is to point out how fixed and free charges, on their corresponding timescales, can be used to control the local electric field and the optical modulation. These are general concepts in semiconductors which, with suitable materials/design, can be exploited in optoelectronics.

Data science aims to solve grand global challenges such as: detecting and preventing disease in human populations; revealing community structure in large social networks; protecting our elections from cyber-threats and improving the resilience of the electric power grid. Unlike traditional applications in computational science and engineering, solving these social problems at scale often raises new challenges because of the sparsity and lack of locality in the data, the need for research on scalable algorithms and architectures, and development of frameworks for solving these real-world problems on high performance computers, and for improved models that capture the noise and bias inherent in the torrential data streams. In this talk, Bader will discuss the opportunities and challenges in massive data science for applications in social sciences, physical sciences, and engineering. Speaker(s): David A.

The IEEE Photonics Society / Standards Committee recently published a whitepaper on Fiber Attach. Transmission of light between or in and out of any photonic platform normally requires attachment to a fiber that is used as a flexible optical waveguide. An effective fiber attach involves many requirements and metrics that have so far involved decades of research. The presentation will cover the whitepaper in detail, some technical background, the path forward, and how to become involved. Co-sponsored by: National Research Council, Canada. Optonique.

Abstract: While lithium-ion batteries have been the standard for energy storage for decades, today’s rising standards for energy density and charging capabilities have led to the entrance of next-generation battery technologies with greater performance capabilities to reimagine everything we do, touch and use. As we explore the possibilities of electrifying key sectors, the technology powering batteries is now more important than ever. Standing at the forefront of this momentous feat is Washington-based Group14 Technologies, the world’s largest manufacturer and supplier of advanced silicon battery materials. Today, Group14’s drop-in flagship commercial product, SCC55™, is already dramatically transforming the possibilities for all applications. In this session, Chris will dive into the process innovation behind Group14’s award-winning silicon battery material; the company’s unique modular manufacturing approach; and the key markets new battery technologies will disrupt in the near future. As Group14 continues to expand and advance its manufacturing capabilities to meet demand globally, Chris will also share how the company is committed to following sustainable manufacturing practices, and how this can be a blueprint across the industry.

An application of Fraction Fourier Transform is in the study of stochastic signals. In particular we observe speckles of imaging points from a SAR mapping over an annular ring. The model has eight targets arranged in a circular ring with a radius of 10 meters with a secondary ring at 50 meters. There is a center target of which an aircraft approaches. As such the signatures of both the aircraft and the speckles can at times be hard to distinguish, especially if the SAR imaging is smeared. We propose the fractional Fourier Transform as an alternative to standard Fourier Transform to filter the noisy signals and take consideration to smearing. As such we were able to isolate the signals of the targets, speckles, and aircraft. Also we see the S-method for matrix representation of signal can be incorporated with the Fratcional Fourier Transform as to generalizing the monostatic SAR model for one aircraft and a set of speckles and or targets.

Research paper writing is an important part of conveying the results of one’s own research to the technical community and getting the paper accepted in reputed journals is a difficult task. It is both an art and science. Based on the speaker’s experience in both academia and R&D over 50 years, the speaker will present important ways of writing an effective research paper in a step by step approach. The lecture will be highly interactive and the participants are expected to interact and share their experiences in writing papers and become enlightened of the right ways of writing an effective research paper. Speaker(s): Narasimhan Sundararajan , Agenda: 08:30 AM - Welcome and Introductions, Chapter business update; 08:35 AM - Technical Talk/Presentation/Interactive 09:20 AM - End Technical Talk/Presentation, continue with Q & A 09:25 AM - Thanks to the speaker & Wrap Up /* ALL TIMES ARE USA EST/EDT */ Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/405612

Abstract: In this talk, we will explore the fascinating domain of human voice profiling, a field at the confluence of voice forensics and artificial intelligence (AI) that I have been developing since 2014. The human voice serves as a unique and dynamic biometric signature, rich in personal information and responsive to a variety of influencing factors. This presentation will chart the evolution of voice profiling techniques—from traditional signal processing to advanced AI-driven methods—highlighting the key methodologies used to delve deeper and deeper into the human persona through voice. These methodologies essentially emerge by connecting the dots between a wide range of areas—from physics and biomechanics to machine learning and AI, to cytogenetics and genomics. As we navigate through the complexities and mysteries of the human voice, as a biometric identifier and a medium to infer the speaker's state, we uncover its profound implications for future human-machine interactions. As the world progresses towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) — we also speak of its physical embodiments. We will discuss why the science of human profiling is expected to play a pivotal role in embodied AGI systems of the future.

One of the greatest inventors of the late 19th century, Alexander Graham Bell is probably most famous for the invention of the telephone and the ‘Bell Telephone Company’. Throughout his life, he sought to foster the advancement of scientific knowledge with his utmost dedication and sincere efforts. His career only began in earnest after his family moved from London, England to Ontario, Canada in an attempt to improve his health. He started as an elocution teacher for the deaf people where he worked tirelessly to spread an early form of sign language across America. He displayed his innovative talent with his invention of various sound recording and transmission devices. His greatest achievement remains the invention of the telephone that has changed and continues to change the way people communicate around the world. He was a pioneer, who gifted mankind with one of the most astonishing and trailblazing discoveries in human history, the telephone. AFTER the documentary - we can have a brief discussion session.
