SUMMARY:Biodegradable Electronics in the Semiconductor Era
DESCRIPTION:[]\nCo-Sponsored by the OEB/SCV SSIT Chapter and the SCV/OEB/SF EPS Chapter\nThe semiconductor era has transformed modern life\, yet\, as electronic technologies become increasingly pervasive\, their environmental footprint\, short product lifecycles\, and growing contribution to global e-waste present a critical challenge. In this context\, biodegradable electronics is emerging as a complementary paradigm for specific classes of future devices where transient operation\, material sustainability\, and responsible end-of-life are essential.\nThis talk will examine how biodegradable electronics can be positioned within the broader semiconductor ecosystem through innovations in functional materials\, low-temperature processing\, flexible device platforms\, and sustainable integration strategies. Particular emphasis will be placed on biodegradable and bio-derived substrates\, piezoelectric and conductive material systems\, as well as their relevance to packaging\, sensor platforms\, and distributed electronic applications. The discussion will highlight how principles from semiconductor science and engineering can be extended beyond the chip toward greener system-level design\, including interface materials\, encapsulation\, and degradation-aware architectures.\nSpeaker(s): Shweta Agarwala\,\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/558051

SUMMARY:SusTech Talk June 2026 - Sand-Like Particles for High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage
DESCRIPTION:NEW DATE 16-June\n“Sand-Like Particles for High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage: Enabling a Resilient Renewable Energy Future”\nwith Shin Young Jeong\, faculty member of the Center for Advanced Turbomachinery and Energy Research\, University of Central Florida.\nDate/Time: Tuesday\, June 16\, 6pm – 7 pm Pacific Time\nAbstract:\nThe transition to renewable energy has increased the need for reliable\, large-scale storage to balance intermittent generation with continuous demand. Thermal energy storage (TES) offers a cost-effective solution by capturing excess energy as heat and releasing it when needed\, supporting long-duration storage and grid stability. Unlike batteries\, TES can scale to industrial levels\, provide process heat\, and deliver electricity through power cycles.

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. Specializing in IBM Maximo\, cloud platforms\, and Red Hat OpenShift\, he integrates AI/ML\, IoT\, and predictive analytics to improve asset reliability and operational efficiency.

SUMMARY:VTS DL Talk: Twisted Signals for ISAC via OAM Vortex Beams
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\n[]\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.
