Learn to Code with ChatGPT
Large Language Models (LLM) such as ChatGPT possess knowledge not only about human languages but also computer languages. It is now possible to introduce programming basics through ChatGPT. This is a workshop activity in which the participants are invited to join an interactive adventure into the world of LLMs and learn how to code with ChatGPT as a copilot. In this interactive, hands on session. the participants will take a guided tour to see live actions of generative Al tools such as ChatGPT in code generation and problem solving. If participants have a second screen and good internet access, they can follow along and learn coding in their own OpenAI accounts. Otherwise, they can watch the live interactive session and contribute their own ideas about how to guide the AI to help with coding. Python and other programming languages will be used, although no prior programming experience is required Co-sponsored by: ACM Baltimore Chapter Speaker(s): Chang Liu, Agenda: 6:30 PM Welcome and introduction 6:35 PM Presentation 7:20 PM Q&A 7:30 PM Conclude Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/382043
The Intellectual Heritage of Babylonian Mathematical Astronomy: Music of the Spheres
This talk introduces the mathematical methods of Babylonian astronomy in the Seleucid era (c. 300 BCE) including cyclic networks of regime-switched piecewise linear iterated maps. These ancient methods foreshadow modern approaches to chaotic dynamic systems and may be related to periodic recurrent neural networks with piecewise linear activation functions.

Dr. Steven Rogers (AFRL): Artificial Intelligence (AI) for U.S. Air Force (USAF) / U.S. Space Force (USSF)
Abstract: What is intelligence / artificial intelligence? What is knowledge and where does it come from? Where are we and how did we get there in AI? What is the interest of the USAF/USSF in AI? What are the current best practices to ensure ethical employment of AI enabled Autonomy? How will AI impact humanity over the next several decades? What is consciousness and is there a path to sentient computers? Why would we want to create sentient computers?

Wireless Power Transmission based on Retro-reflective Beamforming (Region 2 IEEE Research Meeting, WVU Tech)
Wireless Power Transmission based on Retro-reflective Beamforming (Region 2 IEEE Research Meeting, WVU Tech)
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. Supplying electrical power to these devices wirelessly would eliminate/relieve their battery life limitation. 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 and can track multiple mobile devices, generating wireless power 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). 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 when the receiver(s) broadcast pilot signals periodically.

PES Distinguished Lecturer Seminar: Resilience is everybody responsibility!
PES Distinguished Lecturer Seminar: Resilience is everybody responsibility!
IEEE PES Columbus Chapter along with Central Indiana Chapter is excited to have PES Distinguished Lecturer - Professor Antonio Conejo from OSU, an IEEE Fellow, an INFORMS Fellow, and an AAAS Fellow, to give us a seminar (and webinar) on power distribution system resilience. The seminar will be held at AEP Transmission headquarter building (8600 Smiths Mill Road, New Albany, OH 43054) and online thru Teams. Free food and beverages will be provided to in-person attendees. 1 PDH will be available. Abstract: Pursuing overall resilience enhancement of a power distribution system, we discuss a coordinating framework that involves cooperation between the supplying utility and proactive consumers. Such framework enables identifying solutions that are optimal for both the leading partner – the electric utility – and proactive consumers. Resilience improvements include installing batteries and/or distributed energy resources, involving electric vehicles, and undergrounding distribution lines. The proposed framework can be helpful to distribution planners, who can use it to optimally coordinate resilience investments by the electric utility and proactive consumers.
