Phononic frequency combs (PFC) are the mechanical analogues of celebrated photonic frequency combs. These represent a newly documented physical phenomenon in the well-researched physical domain of mechanical resonators . The emergence of PFC is mediated by nonlinear modal coupling. Through a series of experiments using micromechanical resonators, various physical features of PFC have been identified. These include drive parameters for comb operation, hysteresis for comb spectrum tailoring and nonlinear sensitivity to physical perturbations. My talk will describe the physics of PFC and will emphasize how these combs could be foundational to the fields of materials science, molecular science and chemical science. In that respect, I will present our first conceptual demonstrations of material combs, molecular combs and chemical combs respectively. I will also showcase our recent demonstrations of broadband PFC using optical tweezers and phonon lasers . The future work will be focused on the applications of PFC in sensing, communications and quantum information <a href="http://science.1" target="_blank" title="science.1">science.1.

However, Artificial Intelligence (AI) architectures are now changing the landscape, increasingly moving us towards chiplets and advanced packaging technology, especially Heterogeneous Integration (HI). What are these unique requirements of AI which are driving the need for HI? What are some of the unique challenges in semiconductor and packaging technologies that must be overcome to make this successful? This seminar will discuss key HI methods including interposers, fan out wafer level processing, silicon bridges, and 3D integration. We will look at their attributes as well as their challenges, to determine how they can be leveraged to achieve AI <a href="http://architectures.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="architectures.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Speaker(s):">architectures.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Speaker(s): Dr. Mukta Farooq, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/554791

Abstract:This talk presents recent advances in WiFi sensing for human activity recognition (HAR), demonstrating how existing wireless communication infrastructure can be leveraged as a powerful sensing modality. By exploiting Channel State Information (CSI) readily available in commodity WiFi devices, it is possible to infer both large-scale and fine-grained human activities without requiring wearable sensors or dedicated hardware. The presentation begins with an overview of the emerging paradigm of Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC), including developments such as IEEE 802.11bf and future 6G systems, where communication signals are repurposed for environmental sensing. It then introduces signal processing techniques for extracting meaningful features from CSI, including time-frequency analysis and Doppler-based representations that capture motion dynamics. A key contribution discussed in the talk is the use of lightweight and scalable machine learning approaches, such as random convolutional kernels and deep neural networks, for efficient end-to-end activity <a href="http://recognition.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="recognition.Speaker(s):">recognition.Speaker(s): Professor Shahrokh Valaee, Room: EV003-309, Bldg: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department EV, Concordia University, 1515 Ste.

We are living through one of the most profound shifts in the digital era. Not long ago, cybersecurity was about protecting systems, and privacy was about protecting data. Today, artificial intelligence is redefining both - shaping decisions, influencing behavior, and operating at a scale we’ve never seen <a href="http://before.What" target="_blank" title="before.What">before.What was once three separate conversations - cybersecurity, privacy, and regulation - is now rapidly converging into <a href="http://one.And" target="_blank" title="one.And">one.And this convergence is creating a new reality: one where risk is no longer just technical, compliance is no longer just legal, and trust is no longer assumed - it must be <a href="http://engineered.This" target="_blank" title="engineered.This">engineered.This presentation explores what this convergence means for organizations, for regulators, and for leaders - and why those who fail to adapt won’t just fall behind… they will lose trust in a world that depends on <a href="http://it.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="it.Speaker(s):">it.Speaker(s): Kay OlokeAgenda: 7:00PM - Introduction of IEEE Hamilton Section7:15PM - Presentation8:00PM - Q&A8:15PM - RefreshmentsRoom: Community Room 2, Bldg: Sixteen Miles Sports Complex, 3070 Neyagawa Blvd,, Oakville,, Ontario, Canada, L6M 0P4
