CAS ExCom Meeting - January 2025Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/461136

Multi-input converters (MICs) have emerged as a transformative technology in power electronics, addressing the increasing need for integrating multiple energy sources into a unified power system. These converters enable the efficient combination of renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and energy storage systems, with traditional power supplies, offering a versatile solution to meet the growing demand for sustainable and resilient energy infrastructures. This talk will provide a comprehensive overview of the advancements in MICs, focusing on their topologies, control strategies, and <a href="http://applications.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="applications.Speaker(s):">applications.Speaker(s): Dr. Yaow-Ming Chen , Room: MCLD 2014, Bldg: MacLeod , 2356 Main Mall, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 6T 1Z3

FocusAs artificial intelligence (AI) investment scales into the billions of dollars, AIcentric data centers are projected to demand gigawatts of power rather than megawatts in the near future. This represents orders of magnitude increase in existing power consumptions. Alberta, with its abundant natural resources, cold climate, and competitive energy infrastructure, is well-positioned to contribute to this transformation. Recent efforts to attract off-grid AI data center investments underscore the urgency of addressing unique energy challenges, including sudden and sometimes unpredictable power shifts. By bringing together diverse perspectives, this workshop aims to spark thoughtful discussion on how Alberta can navigate this evolving landscape and support future innovation <a href="http://responsibly.PanelistsThis" target="_blank" title="responsibly.PanelistsThis">responsibly.PanelistsThis workshop will bring together experts from AI, Alberta-based utilities, and data center professionals to foster interdisciplinary conversation and idea exchange.

Data communication, parametric sensing, and power transmission are the three cornerstone functions of wireless technology. Traditionally, these functions have been independently supported by specialized RF and wireless transceivers. However, recent advancements in transceiver architecture research have driven the emergence of innovative system solutions characterized by low power consumption, self-adaptive capabilities, and scalable integration. In future intelligent systems, the fusion of multiple wireless functions will fundamentally transform transceiver design frameworks. This integration promises enduring benefits, including architectural unification, system simplification, miniaturization, and reconfigurability. It also offers enhancements in efficiency, functional interplay, and cost-effectiveness. This presentation explores cutting-edge advancements and developments in multifunction transceivers and system integrations spanning frequencies from MHz to THz. It provides a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art linear and non-linear interferometric techniques, focusing on their application in multi-band and multi-structure transceiver hardware. Key concepts such as circuit-antenna unification, orthogonal mode control, full-duplex, and virtual transceiver matrix are discussed in depth. Theoretical insights are complemented by experimental demonstrations, including implementations in CMOS integrated circuits, contextualized within contemporary wireless systems like 5G, 6G, IoT, and beyond. The presentation also highlights critical research directions for advancing multifunctional wireless systems and <a href="http://technologies.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="technologies.Speaker(s):">technologies.Speaker(s): Prof. Ke Wu, Bldg: HUB 350, 350 Legget Dr, Kanata, Ontario, Canada, K2K 3N1
