Emerging Challenges of Signal Integrity Issues and High-Speed Interconnects
IEEE Electronic Packaging Society Distinguished Lecture With the increasing demands for higher signal speeds coupled with the need for decreasing feature sizes, signal integrity effects such as delay, distortion, reflections, crosstalk, ground bounce and electromagnetic interference have become the dominant factors limiting the performance of high-speed systems. These effects can be diverse and can seriously impact the design performance at all hierarchical levels including integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, multi-chip modules and backplanes. If not considered during the design stage, signal and power integrity effects can cause failed designs. Since extra iterations in the design cycle are costly, accurate prediction of these effects is a necessity in high-speed designs. Consequently, preserving signal integrity has become one of the most challenging tasks facing designers of modern multifunction and miniature electronic circuits and systems. This talk provides a comprehensive approach for understanding the multidisciplinary problem of signal and power integrity: issues/modeling/analysis in high-speed designs.

A MULTI-SCALE OPTIMIZATION FRAMEWORK FOR INTEGRATED POWER AND THERMAL MANAGEMENT
Thermal and power systems are tightly coupled and dynamically integrated. The different time scales in thermal and power responses make the integrated thermal and power management problems intriguing and challenging. For connected and automated vehicles (CAVs), the availability of predictive traffic information and the ability to coordinate multiple control subsystems allow us to explore the thermal-power interactions in new dimensions to enhance safety and improve fuel economy. It presents a perfect example where prediction, estimation, control, and optimization serve as the cornerstones for technology breakthroughs in the interconnected and dynamic environment. The talk will discuss the problems, explore the effective tools, and showcase some illustrative solutions. Speaker(s): Jing, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/360922
CIT Summer Series – David A. Bader – Solving Global Grand Challenges with High Performance Data Analytics
This is a weekly session of the CIT Summer Series, with David A. Bader presenting Solving Global Grand Challenges with High Performance Data Analytics : 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.

MOVE Tech Talk – July 2023 – 2023 Atlantic Tropical Outlook
MOVE Tech Talk – July 2023 – 2023 Atlantic Tropical Outlook
The 2023 Atlantic Tropical Outlook was recent updated by experts prompting much curiosity regarding what to expect for this year's hurricane season. Questions that you might have asked yourself may include: o How do expert forecasts differ for the number of tropical systems? o What can historical data and past hurricane seasons teach us for preparing for 2023 activity? o How does El Nino factor into how active hurricanes might be within the Atlantic Ocean? o When should forecasts be updated to include new information like record Sea Surface Temperatures? This month's presentation will review the tropical weather that has occurred to date within the Atlantic Basin, will describe the phenomenon of El Nino in relation to hurricane activity, and discuss what past observations of storms can/cannot teach us about what to expect as we approach the busiest part of the hurricane season.

Smart Grid Series Part 2: Advanced Prediction Techniques
Smart Grid Series Part 2: Advanced Prediction Techniques
The power system industry is shifting towards a new digitalization era to better manage risk within volatile energy commodities, increase customer engagement, and enhance efficiency via grid optimization. Data analytics play a vital role in this transformation and, as such, different measurement architectures have been used and implemented to facilitate data capturing process and supervisory control at the generation, transmission, and distribution levels. This seminar will briefly review the recent outcomes of some smart grid challenges addressed by novel prediction techniques. At the generation level, decomposition techniques have been applied to handle the inherent uncertainty in short-term wind power prediction. At the transmission level, dynamic thermal line rating prediction has been studied as a viable solution to reduce congestion and utilize the actual capacity of the line. Considering the high inclusion of phasor measurement units at the transmission level, cutting-edge methods have been proposed to address stability status prediction of the grid following a contingency. Finally, at the distribution level, real-life data obtained from advanced metering infrastructure have been used for load prediction and customer segmentation.

Challenges with Communication in a Post Nuclear Environment
Challenges with Communication in a Post Nuclear Environment
As potential nuclear weapon use has become top of mind to many through the specter of Russian aggression in Ukraine and threats from North Korea and China, it is important to assess the potential impacts of nuclear weapons on our communication and control infrastructure. In this talk Dr. Petrosky will describe various ways in which nuclear weapon detonations can affect communication systems. He proposes ideas needed to sustain communications systems following nuclear weapons use.
