Join the Washington Section in hosting Arnon Amir, Senior Research Scientist at IBM Research Almaden and David J. Yonce CEO of Cogwear for an evening discussing new frontiers of Neuromorphic Computing. Topics will include novel processors that mimic the structure and behavior of the human brain and wearable sensors that allow people to evaluate and improve their cognitive health. The event will begin with a welcome reception with food and drinks, followed by two technical talks on Neuromorphic Computing. Arnon Amir will virtually present an overview of new developments made by IBM's NorthPole chip, and Cogwear CEO David J. Yonce will present in person on advances in Cogwear's wearable devices that use advanced brain monitoring to provide users with helpful insights for their health. Both talks will provide concrete examples of Neuromorphic Computing in industry from novel brain-inspired computer architectures to improving users' neurological health with clinical grade monitoring. Food and beverages will be provided prior to the talks, and parking is free for all attendees. Speaker(s): Arnon Amir, David Yonce Agenda: - 6:00 pm Welcome Reception - 6:45 pm Arnon Amir (IBM Research) virtual talk - 7:30 pm David J. Yonce (Cogwear) in-person talk - 8:15 pm Social Hour Bldg: College Park Airport Operations Building, 1909 Corporal Frank Scott Dr, College Park, Maryland, United States, 20740, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/446410

Professor Chen will present the results of developing an optical fiber-based acoustic sensor system and perform a live demonstration on the laser reel-to-reel fabrication of fiber sensors. The user can monitor a specified sound, ascertain its spectral content with respect to time, frequency, or amplitude, or view its location on a map. The system can be installed anywhere an optical fiber can be run- along other cables, in buildings, cable raceways, pipes tunnels, etc. and can be used to identify events based on the type of sound emitted. This would be particularly useful for utilities monitoring structures for indicators of impending faults. The distributed fiber sensors use the entire length of optical fiber to monitor acoustic signals (10Hz to 30kHz, 3-m spatial resolution, 50-pico-strain sensitivity) along the entire fiber length. It also monitors temperature, strain, and load (force) with different fiber packaging. The distributed fiber sensor is fully integrated with the UAV and online GIS system. We will discuss the application of fiber sensors for infrastructure monitoring and energy system (electricity, oil, gas, renewable). The meeting begins with a light dinner, then a presentation, and then a demonstration of the system in operation. Speaker(s): Professor Kevin Chen, Agenda: 6:30 pm Light Dinner 7:00 pm Presentation 8:00 pm Demonstration Room: TBD, Bldg: Benedum Hall Engineering Building (EE), University of Pittsburgh, 3700 O'Hara Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, 15213
