This presentation examines the transition of applied research in artificial intelligence, power systems, and building energy management toward early-stage deployment through the formation of Semitechnic Corp., A startup emerging from research conducted in collaboration with the University of Alberta. The talk outlines how academic methods, including data-driven optimization, edge AI, and intelligent control, are being adapted for practical use in building-scale and distributed energy <a href="http://systems.Rather" target="_blank" title="systems.Rather">systems.Rather than emphasizing completed commercialization outcomes, the presentation focuses on the process of moving from research prototypes to deployable systems. Topics include system architecture design, integration with existing electrical and building automation infrastructure, validation using operational data, and challenges encountered in progressing toward pilot and field deployment. The session concludes with reflections on aligning academic research with real-world constraints related to resilience, electrification, and distributed energy resource <a href="http://integration.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="integration.Co-sponsored">integration.Co-sponsored by: Resilience and Clean Energy Systems (RCES)Speaker(s): Reza EnalouiVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/524795

Refreshments will be <a href="http://served.Abstract:---------------------------------------------------------------Quantum" target="_blank" title="served.Abstract:---------------------------------------------------------------Quantum">served.Abstract:---------------------------------------------------------------Quantum Computing, having the ability to exponentially enhance the raw computing power, and Artificial Intelligence (AI), having the ability to impart unprecedented intelligence to connected devices through algorithms that learn, are the two key technologies of the 21st <a href="http://century.Although" target="_blank" title="century.Although">century.Although novel devices can significantly advance the field of quantum computing, conventional CMOS based analog and mixed signal circuits can enable quantum computing using classical op amp based circuits. AI algorithms on the other hand are tolerant to errors in computation, thereby enabling approximate and low-precision computing which has resulted in the resurrection of more than half-a-century old analog <a href="http://computing.This" target="_blank" title="computing.This">computing.This talk would present various analog computing techniques that could enable AI algorithms or more specifically machine learning (ML) algorithms. The talk could also delve into mixed-sginal computing where it will dive into the details of in-memory computing as well as adoption of novel memory devices, viz., memristors, to enable energy efficient computing. The talk would also present some classical analog hardware for emulating quantum algorithms, like Grover’s search algorithm, for quantum computing <a href="http://systems.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="systems.Speaker(s):">systems.Speaker(s): Dr. Bibhu Datta Sahoo, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
