Silicon photonics are the semiconductor integration of EIC and PIC on a silicon substrate (wafer) with complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. On the other hand, co-packaged optics (CPO) are heterogeneous integration packaging methods to integrate the optical engine (OE) which consists of photonic ICs (PIC) and the electrical engine (EE) which consists of the electronic ICs (EIC) as well as the switch ASIC (application specific IC). The advantages of CPO are: (a) to reduce the length of the electrical interface between the OE/EE (or PIC/EIC) and the ASIC, (b) to reduce the energy required to drive the signal, and (c) to cut the latency which leads to better electrical performance. In the next few years, we will see more implementations of a higher level of heterogeneous integration of PIC and EIC, whether it is for performance, form factor, power consumption or cost.

AbstractAutonomous systems are increasingly pervasive, capable, and complex—but behind every such system lie one or more feedback loops that shape how it senses, decides, and acts. Control theory has guided feedback design for decades, yet modern systems now expose the limits of its model-based foundations. The models it relies on are frequently inaccessible, inaccurate, or too rigid to fully exploit today’s data, storage, and computational resources. This talk explores a modeling approach grounded in behavioral systems theory, where systems are defined not by equations but by the set of trajectories they exhibit. The structure—or “shape”—of this set determines not only its mathematical properties but, crucially, also its tractability, governing the analytical and algorithmic tools suitable for analysis and design. I will show how this framework offers a principled bridge between parametric and non-parametric representations, enabling scalable, adaptive, and certifiable control in real-world settings—from fault detection in building automation systems, to certification in algorithmic pipelines, to large-scale control in urban traffic networks. I will conclude by outlining emerging directions and open challenges, including nonlinear and distributed dynamics, uncertainty quantification, and architectural <a href="http://considerations.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="considerations.Co-sponsored">considerations.Co-sponsored by: nagamune@<a href="http://mech.ubc.caSpeaker(s):" target="_blank" title="mech.ubc.caSpeaker(s):">mech.ubc.caSpeaker(s): Alberto , Agenda: Agenda:Gathering: 3:45pm - 4:00pmTalk followed by Q&A: 4pm - 5:30pmRoom: 1203, Bldg: CEME , UBC Point Grey Campus, 6250 Applied Science Lane, Vancouver , British Columbia, Canada, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/479975

Title "Mentorship for Young Scientists: Developing Scientific Survival Skills"Speaker: Federico Rosei, Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Trieste, ItalyAbstract:In this lecture, I will try to convey a feeling for our course on “Survival Skills for Scientists” . This is a graduate course designed and developed in my department, in which we give basic advice and offer mentorship to our graduate students and post-docs. The central theme of this presentation is that succeeding in Science requires skills (often referred to as ‘soft professional skills’) beyond those needed for Science. The lecture aims at giving basic guidance and mentoring to young scientists (typically science and engineering undergraduate and first year graduate students).The main topics are:- The job market for graduates in science and engineering (industry, national labs and academia; advantages and disadvantages)- Funding in modern science- Publish or perish; publishing quality papers, having an impact- Presenting your work to your peers- The fundamental laws of ‘scientific survival’ (know yourself, plan ahead, and play chess)- Ethics in modern science- Alternative careersReference: F. Rosei, T.W. Johnston, “Survival Skills for Scientists”, Imperial College Press (2006).Speaker biography:Federico Rosei (MSc (1996) and PhD (2001) from the University of Rome “La Sapienza”) is Full Professor at the Centre Énergie, Matériaux et Télécommunications, Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique, Varennes (QC) Canada, where he served as Director (07/2011–03/2019), currently on leave. He held the Canada Research Chair (Junior) in Nanostructured Organic and Inorganic Materials (2003–2013) and the Canada Research Chair (Senior) in Nanostructured Materials (2016–2023). Since January 2014 he holds the UNESCO Chair in Materials and Technologies for Energy Conversion, Saving and Storage. Since March 2023 he holds the Chair of Industrial Chemistry at the Department of Chemicaland Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Trieste. Dr. Rosei’s research interests focus on structure/property relationships in nanomaterials andtheir use as building blocks in emerging technologies. He has worked in partnership with over twenty Canadian R&D companies. He is co-inventor of three patents and has published over 510 articles in prestigious international journals (including Science, Nature Phot., Nature Mater., Nature Chem., Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci., Adv. Mater.) which have been cited over 27,900 times (H index = 89). He is Fellow of numerous prestigious national and international societies and academies, including: the Royal Society of Canada, the European Academy of Science, the Academia Europaea, the European Academy of Sciences and Arts. He has received several awards and honours, including the Brockhouse Medal (CanadianAssociation of Physics 2022), the Canadian Light Source – TK Sham Award in Materials Chemistry (CSC 2023), the Spirit of Salam Award (ICTP 2023), a Guggenheim Fellowship in Engineering (2023), Knight of the National Order of Quebec (2023) and the AVS Nanotechnology Recognition Award (2024).Speaker(s): Dr. Federico Rosei, Room: ASB 10908, Bldg: Applied Science Building, 8888 University Dr., Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, V5A 1S6, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/474149
