Join us for an overview of semiconductor manufacturing and career opportunities by Carnegie Mellon University Alumni and Nanofabrication Process Engineer Bennet Clark. SPEAKER: Bennet Clark graduated from CMU with a B.S. in Material Science and Engineering in 2017 with a concentration in computer science while interning at Air Force Research Laboratory where he worked on additive manufacturing and characterization. After graduation, he became a Principal Process Engineer at Global Foundries (now onSemi) where he was process owner of 80 thin film deposition tools including installation, process development, and quality improvements. In 2023, Bennet returned to CMU where he works in his current role as a process engineer in the Bertucci Nanotechnology Laboratory. LOCATION: Hamerschlag Hall D210 or Zoom (see below) For questions please contact organizers: Andrew Cochran (Nanotechnology Council) [email protected] Agenda: 12:00 - Lunch + Presentation 12:30 - Q & A Bldg: Hammerschlag Hall D210, 5000 Forbes Ave, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/447548

Special Presentation by Dr. Ayush Dwivedi (Tampere U., Finland) Hosted by the Future Networks Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (AIML) Working Group Date/Time: Thursday, December 19th, 2024 @ 12:00 UTC Topic: Machine Learning Ideas for Sensor Networks Abstract: This talk explores the application of machine learning (ML) techniques to address the challenges in scaling sensor networks while maintaining accuracy and energy efficiency. First, we discuss ML-based approaches to optimize data transmission, significantly reducing communication overhead and extending battery lifetimes. Second, we examine the impact of such optimizations on enhancing overall network capacity. Finally, the role of ML in sensor calibration is analyzed, highlighting its potential to improve accuracy and scalability. Speaker: Dr. Ayush Dwivedi a postdoctoral research scholar at Tampere University, Finland, with a PhD from the International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad, India. His research focuses on next-generation wireless communication, including non-terrestrial networks, stochastic geometry, satellite-based IoT, and sensor networks for smart cities. He has been an active member of the IEEE INGR Satellite Working Group for several years, contributing to ideas on satellite-based sensor networks. Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/448221

Concrete encased electrodes for grounding electrical power systems, also called Ufer grounds, are highly effective grounding systems when installed correctly. James will explain what constitutes a Ufer ground and how one can be easily constructed in accordance with the IEEE Standard 142-2007 (the Green Book) and the National Electrical Code (NEC). He will also explain what common errors and myths surround Ufer grounds as well as an error in the IEEE Green Book, and errors in interpreting the NEC. James will also explain how Ufer grounds are essential to effective lightning protection systems. James’ background as an experienced construction electrician and a B.S. Civil Engineer makes him uniquely qualified to explain civil/structural concepts and practices, and how these are relevant to Electrical Engineers. Co-sponsored by: IEEE Hamilton PES Chapter, and other PES Chapters in R7 Speaker(s): James J. Mercier, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/450987
