What is 3-MUC?The 3-MUC gives undergraduate students a chance to share an interesting piece of work they have accomplished and practice their communication skills. It follows the scope of the 3 minute thesis style, but relaxes the requirement for novel research to allow a broader section of the undergraduate student body to participate. As a successful applicant, you will prepare a 3 minute presentation about your work. You are only allowed one slide to accompany your presentation as a visual aid. You will present your work to a panel of judges who will select three winners based on our judgement criteria. The winners are invited to the annual Kingston IEEE banquet dinner, where they will be awarded their <a href="http://prize.Who" target="_blank" title="prize.Who">prize.Who can apply?All undergraduate students who have an interesting piece of work to share. For example, summer research students, QUIP interns, design team members. By no means is that an exhaustive list.

Join us for an AESS Technical Talk by Dr. Kyunghoon Han of the University of Luxembourg!Time and LocationNovember 27, 2025, 5:30 pmME 4463 (Maker Lab), Mackenzie Building, Carleton University (in person)AbstractIn classical and quantum information-theoretic settings, partial information decomposition isolates unique, redundant and synergistic contributions, formalising more-than-the-parts information from multiple inputs. Quantum technologies already exploit collective effects, yet a unified, n-channel, synergy-aware decomposition remains <a href="http://absent.The" target="_blank" title="absent.The">absent.The talk introduces a channel-level synergy functional, Syn, defined in the Stinespring representation so that it is representation-free, invariant under local unitaries, monotone under completely positive trace-preserving maps, and compositional under series, parallel and product wiring. Syn augments the Neyman-Pearson theorem by supplying a channel-level criterion that certifies when a single joint decision statistic will outperform all separable strategies. (This includes joint measurements where the subsystems are not measured simultaneously.) Consequently, it provides provable strengthening of the receiver operating characteristic over the operational false-alarm region and, in bosonic radar, translates into either achieving the same detection probability with lower transmitted energy or attaining tighter false-alarm levels at a fixed <a href="http://power.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="power.Speaker(s):">power.Speaker(s): Dr. Kyunghoon HanRoom: ME 4463 (Maker Lab), Bldg: Mackenzie, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Abstract:Data center, compute, and AI applications continue to demand higher bandwidth from electrical interconnects. The volume of short-reach links (less than a few cm) has exploded to facilitate high-bandwidth data movement between compute engines and memory in the AI era. This massive growth will continue as the industry moves towards highly-parallelized die-to-die interfaces to support chiplet-based architectures. However, power efficiency in these links is of paramount importance to maintain reasonable power levels within a compute drawer. This talk will focus on trends and advancements in power-efficient short reach links that aim to maximize the shoreline bandwidth density. Multi-disciplinary approaches involving circuit innovations, architectural advancements, data signaling techniques, and packaging technologies are required to deliver linear bandwidth densities above 1 Tbps/mm at power efficiencies below 500 fJ/<a href="http://bit.Timothy" target="_blank" title="bit.Timothy">bit.Timothy (Tod) Dickson received the B.S. and M.Eng. degrees from the University of Florida, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Toronto.

Photonic Pathways to Scalable and Low-Cost Free-Space Optical Satellite DownlinksAbstract:Free-space optical communication (FSOC) is rapidly emerging as a cornerstone of high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity for space-to-ground and inter-satellite networks. Yet the downlink to ground remains the most technically demanding segment, where atmospheric turbulence distorts optical wavefronts and drives system complexity and cost. Traditional bulk-optics solutions are difficult to align, power-hungry, and expensive to reproduce. Photonic technologies offer a transformative alternative: compact, robust, and inherently manufacturable architectures that merge adaptive optics, beam combination, and phase control directly on a chip. These integrated systems enable ultra-high-speed, real-time correction of turbulence with minimal mass and power, while leveraging semiconductor fabrication to achieve wafer-scale replication and dramatically lower cost. This cost reduction opens the possibility of deploying many more optical ground stations, enhancing global network coverage, redundancy, and resilience. By uniting astronomical adaptive optics with scalable photonic integration, we are charting a path toward affordable, high-performance optical downlinks to ground. I will highlight recent prototype demonstrations and outline our roadmap toward fully photonic optical ground terminals that bring the precision of astronomical instrumentation to the future of space <a href="http://communications.------------------------------------------------------------------------Voies" target="_blank" title="communications.------------------------------------------------------------------------Voies">communications.------------------------------------------------------------------------Voies photoniques pour des liaisons descendantes optiques par satellite en espace libre, évolutives et peu coûteusesRésumé:La communication optique en espace libre (FSOC) s'impose rapidement comme un pilier de la connectivité à haut débit et faible latence pour les réseaux sol-espace et inter-satellites. Cependant, la liaison descendante vers le sol demeure le segment le plus complexe sur le plan technique, car la turbulence atmosphérique y déforme les fronts d'onde optiques, ce qui accroît la complexité et le coût du système. Les solutions optiques classiques sont difficiles à aligner, énergivores et coûteuses à reproduire. Les technologies photoniques offrent une alternative révolutionnaire : des architectures compactes, robustes et intrinsèquement industrialisables qui intègrent l'optique adaptative, la combinaison de faisceaux et le contrôle de phase directement sur une puce. Ces systèmes intégrés permettent une correction ultrarapide et en temps réel de la turbulence avec une masse et une consommation d'énergie minimales, tout en tirant parti de la fabrication des semi-conducteurs pour une réplication à l'échelle de la plaquette et une réduction drastique des coûts. Cette réduction des coûts ouvre la voie au déploiement d'un nombre beaucoup plus important de stations optiques au sol, améliorant ainsi la couverture, la redondance et la résilience du réseau mondial. En associant l'optique adaptative astronomique à l'intégration photonique à grande échelle, nous ouvrons la voie à des liaisons optiques terrestres performantes et abordables. Je présenterai des démonstrations récentes de prototypes et décrirai notre feuille de route vers des terminaux optiques terrestres entièrement photoniques, qui mettront la précision des instruments astronomiques au service des communications spatiales de <a href="http://demain.Prof" target="_blank" title="demain.Prof">demain.Prof. Suresh Sivanandam, University of TorontoAbout / A proposThe High Throughput and Secure Networks (HTSN) Challenge program is hosting regular virtual seminar series to promote scientific information sharing, discussions, and interactions between <a href="http://researchers.https://nrc.canada.ca/en/research-development/research-collaboration/programs/high-throughput-secure-networks-challenge-programLe" target="_blank" title="researchers.https://nrc.canada.ca/en/research-development/research-collaboration/programs/high-throughput-secure-networks-challenge-programLe">researchers.https://nrc.canada.ca/en/research-development/research-collaboration/programs/high-throughput-secure-networks-challenge-programLe programme Réseaux Sécurisés à Haut Débit (RSHD) organise régulièrement des séries de séminaires virtuels pour promouvoir le partage d’informations scientifiques, les discussions et les interactions entre <a href="http://chercheurs.https://nrc.canada.ca/fr/recherche-developpement/recherche-collaboration/programmes/programme-defi-reseaux-securises-haut-debitNEW:" target="_blank" title="chercheurs.https://nrc.canada.ca/fr/recherche-developpement/recherche-collaboration/programmes/programme-defi-reseaux-securises-haut-debitNEW:">chercheurs.https://nrc.canada.ca/fr/recherche-developpement/recherche-collaboration/programmes/programme-defi-reseaux-securises-haut-debitNEW: In order to promote more open discussions/interactions, at the end of the presentation and Q/A, we will allow other experts in this field (quantum comm) to present very briefly their work (1 slide, 2 min max) or their company. / Afin de favoriser des discussions/interactions plus ouvertes, à la fin de la présentation et des questions/réponses, nous permettrons aux experts de ce domaine (communications quantiques) de présenter très brièvement leurs travaux (1 diapositive, 2 min max) ou leur <a href="http://compagnie.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="compagnie.Co-sponsored">compagnie.Co-sponsored by: National Research Council, <a href="http://Canada.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="Canada.Speaker(s):">Canada.Speaker(s): Prof. Suresh Sivanandam, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/514232
