SUMMARY:Attention-Guided Audio Compression for Multimodal LLMs
DESCRIPTION:Audio compression is often proposed to improve the efficiency of multimodal large language models\, but its impact on downstream task performance remains underexplored. This talk examines how semantic neural audio codecs behave under token reduction constraints\, using cross-modal attention as a signal to discard frames with low semantic content. On audio question-answering benchmarks\, attention-guided frame selection removes 10–30% of frames while matching baseline accuracy and answer consistency\, and identifies a critical compression threshold (keep ratio ~0.7) below which performance degrades sharply. The talk also discusses an "answer consistency paradox" where models remain highly self-consistent (>98%) even as accuracy degrades and what this decoupling of consistency from correctness means for evaluating compressed multimodal systems in low-resource deployments.\nSpeaker(s): Prerana\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/563360

SUMMARY:Towards a Digital Twin for LEO Non Terrestrial Network Performance
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe rapid expansion and increasing complexity of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations demands new digital twins for accurate predictive network performance evaluation. Modern LEO networks feature highly dynamic topologies\, dense satellite deployments\, and integration with terrestrial 5G/6G systems — that well-exceed current open-source/broadly available simulation tool capabilities. A high-fidelity Digital Twin model should capture real-time mobility considerations for time-varying LEO-to-earth downlink\, emerging regulatory considerations (e.g. spectrum allocation driven coexistence/interference)\, orbit-aware inter-satellite coordination aspects\, to feed into future AI-driven resource optimization architectural solutions. This talk will start by pointing out deficiencies in current 3GPP TR 38.111 and 6G-NTN EU Doppler spread models and its consequent impact downstream on NTN Downlink PHY Layer 1 processing and highlight ongoing efforts via ns-3-leo full stack network simulator at UW Fundamentals of Networking Lab (https://wp.ece.uw.edu/funlab/).\nSpeaker:[]\nProf. Sumit Roy\nGuest Scientist\, Nokia Bell Labs (Radio Systems Research)\nsumit.1.roy@nokia.com\nDept. of Electrical & Comp.

SUMMARY:EMC Scan Technologies
DESCRIPTION:EMC Scan Technologies"\nNear field scanning is a widely known and well received method for component\, module and system EMC characterization. One specific emission scan technology\, called the NF EMI scan\, is the most common scan technology\, but the immunity scan is relatively less known and less widely used. Three immunity and two emission scan technologies will be presented: ESD Scan\, RF Immunity Scan\, Current Spreading (CSP) and Phase Measurement Scan.\nESD scan is a very effective scan technique to debug or pre-screen components or modules that are more likely to cause problems (specially soft failures) before they are integrated to a system. Its main goal is localizing weak spots or traces causing ESD gun test failures with a well-controlled disturbance source.\nRF Immunity Scan is very similar to ESD scan in concept\, but it is a narrow-band scan while the ESD scan is a wide-band.\nMost currents injected by an ESD gun follow the intended path by design\, but a small amount causing system upset can flow through an unexpected route. CSP (Current Spreading) is a visualization technique for surface current flows\, which identifies unexpected current paths and can verify ESD protection design.\nPhase information helps improving accuracies of modeling of EUT's for simulation or can be directly used for specific applications. Specific application of the phase information will be introduced after brief review of simultaneous magnitude and phase measurement in time and frequency domain.\nSpeaker(s): Kyungjin "Jin" Min\nAgenda:\nAgenda:\n6PM – 6:45PM Dinner and Networking\n6:45PM – 8PM Talk and Questions\nThursday June 25\, 2026\nRoom: Building C training room\, Bldg: C\, 10401 roselle street\, ATEC\, San Diego\, California\, United States\, 92121

SUMMARY:Systematically Managing Complexity in Power Electronics Modeling and Design
DESCRIPTION:Power electronics is a foundational technology that drives a wide range of important and emerging applications including cloud computing\, wireless communications\, robotics\, and smart energy systems. By systematically managing the increased complexity in materials\, circuits\, and systems\, new opportunities are created to greatly advance the functionality and performance of power electronics systems.\nThis speech provides a few examples to illustrate the potential of managed complexity in power electronics design. These include: 1) modular and scalable architecture for systematically managed complexity in high performance circuits; 2) artificial intelligence and machine learning for systematically managed complexity in passive component modeling. This managed complexity approach addresses key challenges in emerging applications by overcoming traditional design barriers from new angles and redefining how power electronics are conceived and implemented in complex systems.\nSpeaker(s): Minjie Chen\nMurata Electronics North America\, Inc.\, 1732 North First Street #500\, San Jose\, California\, United States\, 95112

SUMMARY:Twisted Signals for ISAC via OAM Vortex Beams: A Discussion of Harnessing Twisted Waves to Revolutionize Automotive Sensing & Communication
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Electromagnetic waves are characterized by their amplitude\, frequency\, and state of polarization — also referred to as spin angular momentum (SAM)\, associated with circular polarization and recognized for over two centuries. In contrast\, over the past three decades\, growing attention has been directed toward orbital angular momentum (OAM)\, which arises from helical (twisted) phase fronts and provides an additional degree of freedom through its orthogonal modal structure. In this talk\, we explore the use of OAM for integrated sensing and communications (ISAC)\, with the goal of enhancing spectral efficiency and spatial resolution in automotive scenarios. Unlike conventional uniform circular array (UCA)-based implementations\, our approach employs a uniform linear array (ULA) with traveling-wave antennas to synthesize multiple Laguerre-Gaussian vortex beams. The proposed system embeds communication data within radar waveforms while enabling joint estimation of target position and velocity using radar-only frames. An OAM-based mode-division multiplexing strategy is used to separate sensing and communication functionalities\, ensuring reliable parameter recovery. We conclude with perspectives on the future of ISAC systems.\nBio:\nKumar Vijay Mishra (S’08-M’15-SM’18) obtained a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and M.S. in mathematics from The University of Iowa in 2015\, and M.S. in electrical engineering from Colorado State University in 2012\, while working on NASA’s Global Precipitation Mission Ground Validation (GPM-GV) weather radars.

DESCRIPTION:Title: Twisted Signals for ISAC via OAM Vortex Beams\nAbstract: Electromagnetic waves are characterized by their amplitude\, frequency\, and state of polarization — also referred to as spin angular momentum (SAM)\, associated with circular polarization and recognized for over two centuries. In contrast\, over the past three decades\, growing attention has been directed toward orbital angular momentum (OAM)\, which arises from helical (twisted) phase fronts and provides an additional degree of freedom through its orthogonal modal structure. In this talk\, we explore the use of OAM for integrated sensing and communications (ISAC)\, with the goal of enhancing spectral efficiency and spatial resolution in automotive scenarios. Unlike conventional uniform circular array (UCA)-based implementations\, our approach employs a uniform linear array (ULA) with traveling-wave antennas to synthesize multiple Laguerre-Gaussian vortex beams. The proposed system embeds communication data within radar waveforms while enabling joint estimation of target position and velocity using radar-only frames. An OAM-based mode-division multiplexing strategy is used to separate sensing and communication functionalities\, ensuring reliable parameter recovery. We conclude with perspectives on the future of ISAC systems.\nSpeaker: Dr. Kumar Vijay Mishra[]\nKumar Vijay Mishra (S’08-M’15-SM’18) obtained a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and M.S. in mathematics from The University of Iowa in 2015\, and M.S. in electrical engineering from Colorado State University in 2012\, while working on NASA’s Global Precipitation Mission Ground Validation (GPM-GV) weather radars.

SUMMARY:Tech Talk: GPU-Free Real-Time Utility Asset Anomaly Detection
DESCRIPTION:The San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the IEEE Computer Society invites to our free and open Virtual Tech Talks (no IEEE membership required):\nSpeaker: Lakshmana Rao Koppada ((https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.linkedin.com/in/lakshmana-koppada/&sa=D&source=calendar&ust=1781490549069271&usg=AOvVaw11bsPeQi6ednCxDVhnMelu))\nTitle: GPU-Free Real-Time Utility Asset Anomaly Detection with IBM Granite TSPulse-R1\nAbstract: Utility enterprises operate geographically distributed critical assets—such as pumps\, tanks\, flow meters\, and substations that demand continuous health monitoring to avert service disruptions\, environmental hazards\, and substantial economic losses. Conventional centralized cloud-based Enterprise Asset Management systems incur high latency\, excessive bandwidth consumption\, and reliance on GPU acceleration\, thereby impeding real-time response in connectivity-constrained environments. This paper introduces a GPU-free edge-to-cloud architecture for real-time anomaly detection that exploits the compact IBM Granite TSPulse-R1 time-series foundation model (approximately 1 million parameters). The framework executes lightweight CPU-only inference on edge gateways and transmits only concise anomaly summaries via Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT)\, realizing over 99.9% bandwidth reduction relative to raw data transfer. A novel sensor-weighted reconstruction error scoring mechanism prioritizes the most discriminative sensors\, enhancing zero-shot multivariate detection performance. Rigorous evaluation on the Water Treatment dataset\, a real-world industrial control system benchmark featuring 51 sensors and a 12.53% anomalous timestep ratio\, demonstrates an average inference latency of 710.3 ms per 512-timestep chunk\, a ROC-AUC of 0.717\, and tolerance-adjusted recall exceeding 0.945 at ±20 timesteps. Scalability analysis reveals near-linear latency growth with increasing sensor counts and chunk sizes\, confirming feasibility on resource-constrained edge devices. The proposed architecture delivers a scalable\, cost-effective\, and resilient predictive maintenance solution for critical infrastructure\, providing a practical GPU-independent alternative to traditional cloud-centric paradigms while supporting robust operation in distributed utility networks.\nBio: Lakshmana Rao Koppada (IETE Fellow\, Senior Member IEEE\, Professional Member of BCS) is a Digital Transformation Leader and Technical Architect at PwC with over 16 years of experience delivering large-scale enterprise modernization programs.
