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: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:Embedded Mixed-Signal Test & Reliability Monitoring in Biomedical Electronics
DESCRIPTION:Many biomedical and medical-device systems\, especially implantable electronics\, require mission-critical reliability to support patient safety\, therapy delivery\, and measurement accuracy. These systems rely heavily on mixed-signal circuits such as sensor front ends\, amplifiers\, data converters\, stimulators\, references\, clocks\, and power-management blocks.\nWhile these circuits are rigorously verified during production test\, burn-in\, and characterization\, long-term reliability challenges can persist after manufacturing. Over a device’s lifetime\, circuit behavior can drift due to aging\, leakage\, environmental stress\, packaging effects\, and varying operating conditions.\nThis webinar explores how embedded mixed-signal test and self-monitoring techniques can support the lifetime reliability of biomedical electronics. The discussion will connect traditional production-test concepts with periodic or in-field health monitoring and safe diagnostics. Topics will include analog and mixed-signal built-in self-test (BIST) architectures\, embedded current and leakage monitoring\, IDDQ-style measurements\, burn-in support\, self-calibration\, and compact diagnostic signatures.\nThe talk will also highlight how limited external access can be complemented by on-chip diagnostic resources and firmware-coordinated test flows. Ultimately\, the session will show how reusing embedded resources can reduce dependence on external test access\, improve observability\, and support data-driven decisions about device performance and reliability over time.\nSpeaker(s): Krishna Madabhushi\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/564141

SUMMARY:AI That Works for You & Building a Private LLM
DESCRIPTION:AI That Works for You: Tools\, Prompts\, Privacy — and How A Warship Taught Itself History\nGenerative AI is everywhere — but using it effectively\, safely\, and without surrendering your data is a skill most people are still developing. This quarter's OEB LMAG lunch brings together and local Higher Ed leader and a CIO\, two seasoned practitioners for a practical\, hands-on session on getting real value from AI tools. Roger Doering\, Professor of Engineering at Cal State East Bay\, leads the main program on leveraging generative AI effectively and safely — covering tools\, approaches\, prompting strategies\, and critical privacy and security considerations. He's joined by Mark Rowell\, CIO of the USS Hornet Museum\, who adds a fascinating real-world dimension: what happens when you build your own private LLM on a historic warship's institutional knowledge. Live demos included. Bring your questions — and your appetite.\nGenerative AI tools have moved from novelty to necessity — but the gap between casual use and genuinely effective use is wide. For users with concerns about accuracy\, privacy\, security\, and institutional knowledge\, the public-cloud nature of most AI tools raises real questions.\nThis session addresses both sides of that challenge. Roger Doering brings academic and professional rigor to the question of how to get the most from generative AI — what works\, what doesn't\, and how to stay safe while doing it. Mark Rowell then demonstrates what the far end of the privacy spectrum looks like in practice: a fully private LLM\, built on Google's NotebookLM\, trained on 165 sources of institutional knowledge about one of America's most historic naval vessels.\nTogether\, they cover the landscape from everyday AI productivity to purpose-built institutional intelligence — with plenty of time for hands-on exploration\, demos\, and the kind of frank conversation that only happens over a good lunch.\nWHAT YOU'LL COVER\n• Generative AI tools landscape — what's worth your time in 2026 and why\n• Prompting that actually works — practical approaches and live examples\n• AI privacy and security — what you're sharing\, with whom\, and how to protect yourself\n• Hands-on demos — try it yourself\, not just watch it\, so bring a laptop\n• The private LLM case study — how the USS Hornet built a closed\, curated AI from 165 institutional sources\n• Real-world use cases from the Hornet's deployment — docents\, educators\, researchers\, and visitors\n• Open discussion — bring your own AI questions\, frustrations\, and experiments\nSpeaker(s): Roger\, Mark\,\nAgenda:\nOrder & Serve Lunch: 11-12\nMeeting Topic and discussion: 12-2\nBldg: Golf course restaurant\, not pro shop\, Beeb's Sports Bar and Grill\, 915 Club House Drive\, Livermore\, California\, United States\, 94550\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/557251

SUMMARY:Beyond the Model: The Industry Playbook for Scalable AI Systems
DESCRIPTION:As artificial intelligence transitions from experimental deployments to mission-critical production infrastructure\, organizations face a fundamental shift from model-centric optimization to system-centric engineering. While advances in model architectures and accelerator technologies have driven recent AI breakthroughs\, long-term performance\, reliability\, and sustainability increasingly depend on the interaction between compute\, memory\, networking\, software runtimes\, operations\, and governance. This talk presents an industry roadmap for building scalable AI systems that move beyond isolated model optimization toward adaptive\, software-defined AI platforms. The roadmap explores five interconnected layers—compute\, memory and data\, interconnect\, runtime and operating systems\, and operations and governance—and demonstrates how these layers collectively influence throughput\, latency\, cost\, energy efficiency\, reliability\, and compliance. The discussion introduces workload-aware architectures for inference\, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)\, agentic workflows\, multimodal applications\, and edge AI\, highlighting the growing importance of memory hierarchies\, topology-aware scheduling\, adaptive control loops\, and cluster-scale orchestration. A practical AI systems maturity model is proposed to help organizations assess current capabilities and prioritize investments\, progressing from ad hoc experimentation to autonomous\, policy-governed AI fabrics. The presentation concludes with a pragmatic execution framework and industry best practices for achieving predictable service levels\, operational resilience\, and sustainable AI economics. The central thesis is that future AI leadership will be determined not by model performance alone\, but by the ability to design\, operate\, and govern AI as an integrated systems platform\nCo-sponsored by: Vishnu S.

SUMMARY:Brew with the Crew: Accelerated Qualification of Novel Nuclear Structural Materials
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the upcoming technical talk —attend in person at Stockman’s Restaurant or virtually via (https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_MGYxYTkzNmMtMzg0MS00MjdjLTkwYmMtOWNkMWMwNjMzOWFi%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%224cf464b7-869a-4236-8da2-a98566485554%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%2264d770c8-e8c2-4ef1-b2f4-1e7ebd03bd37%22%7d)\nTitle:\nAccelerated Qualification of Novel Nuclear Structural Materials: Multiphysics Simulations of a MEMS-Based Creep Device Under Ion Irradiation\nAbstract:\nQualification of structural materials for advanced nuclear reactors requires testbeds capable of\nsimultaneously replicating and monitoring high temperatures\, irradiation\, and mechanical stress.\nThis talk presents a multiphysics modeling framework for the design and optimization of an in-\nsitu testbed for measuring irradiation creep and thermal fatigue.\nThe testbed couples a silicon MEMS device with ion irradiation and scanning electron\nmicroscopy to enable real-time mechanical testing under irradiation. Finite element simulations\ndeveloped in CUBIT and BISON resolve the coupled thermal\, electrical\, and mechanical\nresponse of the MEMS device and quantify induced strain in the sample. Geometry optimization\nof the MEMS device is performed to achieve uniform temperature and strain fields in the test\nsample.\nResults demonstrate that the multiphysics framework reduces reliance on iterative physical\nprototyping in testbed development and provides a reproducible basis for geometry and loading\nparameter selection in nuclear materials testing.\nSpeaker: Akanksha Parmar\nPostdoctoral Research Associate\nIdaho National Laboratory\nAkanksha is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in C650 department at INL\, where her research\nfocuses on computational modeling of nuclear fuels\, including high burnup structure\, chromia-\ndoped UO₂\, and annular fuel pellets\, using advanced constitutive models such as crystal\nplasticity.\nShe received her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University\, where she combined\nmultiscale modeling with hands-on fabrication\, processing\, and characterization to study\nmicrostructure evolution during additive manufacturing. She holds an M.S. in Aeronautics and\nAstronautics from Purdue University\, where her thesis focused on multiscale modeling of\ncomposite structures.\nCo-sponsored by: INL-Idaho National Lab\nSpeaker(s): Akanksha Parmar\n1175 Pier View Dr\, Idaho Falls\, Idaho\, United States\, 83402\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/563911
