Rayleigh Solar Tech is a local scale-up company aiming to lower the cost of solar by developing flexible thin-film perovskite solar panels. Spun out of a Dalhousie research lab in 2016, Rayleigh now employs over 50 people from around the globe. Perovskite panels differ from traditional silicon panels in their manufacturing techniques, their flexibility, and their low <a href="http://weight.Join" target="_blank" title="weight.Join">weight.Join us for a tour of Rayleigh's new location in Highfield Park, where you will learn about the company, the product, and the new facility, as well as the techniques used to evaluate solar panel performance and <a href="http://lifetime.For" target="_blank" title="lifetime.For">lifetime.For directions, Rayleigh Solar Tech has just finished moving into a new facility at 60 Highfield Park Dr. They are in the same building as Ashley HomeStore, our entrance is under the META sign (unrelated to Facebook).Note: Registrants will be required to sign an NDA on-site before the tour, and will be denied entry to the tour if they do not <a href="http://sign.60" target="_blank" title="sign.60">sign.60 Highfield Park Dr., Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada, B3A 4R9

By the end of years 70s, microprocessors were designed by hand showing excellent layout compaction. It will be shown some highlights of the reverse engineering of the Z8000, which control part was designed by hand, showing several layout optimization strategies. The observation of the Z8000 layout inspired the research of methods to do the automatic generation of the layout of any transistor network, allowing to reduce the number of transistors to implement a circuit, and by consequence, the leakage power. Some of the layout automation tools developed by our group are briefly <a href="http://presented.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="presented.Speaker(s):">presented.Speaker(s): Ricardo Reis, Room: TBA, Bldg: Applied Science Building , Simon Fraser University, Burnaby , British Columbia, Canada, V5A 1S6, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/561894

[]Medical imaging, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), is central to modern diagnosis and treatment planning. Although contemporary radiological AI systems can achieve fast and accurate diagnoses, most offer limited user interaction within clinical workflows. This gap hinders adoption by reducing transparency, adaptability, and trust. This talk will showcase research from our Health-X Lab on building radiological AI systems designed to collaborate with clinicians through intuitive and natural interaction channels. Specifically, I will highlight three lines of work: leveraging human visual attention during radiological reading to better align AI models with expert behavior; enabling flexible, language-based interaction with medical images; and developing interactive AI agents that support real-time, user-driven analysis. Together, these approaches illustrate how integrating visual perception, language, and interaction can transform AI from passive tools into effective clinical co-pilots, enhancing usability, interpretability, and seamless workflow <a href="http://integration.Room:" target="_blank" title="integration.Room:">integration.Room: 321, Bldg: Duff Medical Building, 3775 Rue University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/558822

Abstract :The intersection of programmable communications and renewable energy systems is creatingnew opportunities for smarter, more sustainable power generation. This lecture examines theways software-defined networking concepts are reshaping connectivity in solar power plants,particularly in heliostat fields where conventional wired control architectures are often too costlyand difficult to scale. It highlights an emerging architecture based on centralized networkcontrol and virtualized network functions, designed to provide robust wireless coordination forlarge heliostat deployments. By supporting adaptive sun-tracking through intelligent spectrumallocation and routing strategies that account for interference, this framework shows howvirtualization methods originally developed for telecommunications can significantly improve theperformance and flexibility of renewable energy operations. More broadly, the work points to afundamental shift in infrastructure design, with software-defined systems serving as thefoundation of future energy ecosystems capable of autonomously optimizing generation inresponse to changing environmental factors and grid requirements. Its broader relevancespans industrial IoT and critical infrastructure, demonstrating a path toward highly adaptive,network-driven energy <a href="http://platforms.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="platforms.Speaker(s):">platforms.Speaker(s): Dr. Eirini Eleni Tsiropoulou, Room: Conference room Videotron (E2033) , Bldg: Pavillon E (Maison des étudiants) , École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS), Montréal, Quebec, Canada, H3C 1K5

We would like to invite you to celebrate International Women in Engineering Day with us on Tuesday, June 23rd, from 12-1:30 pm! This event will be held online and in-person at the BC Hydro Edmonds auditorium in collaboration with IEEE WIE, with an online option for those unable to make it in person. Due to capacity and security reasons, please note that the in-person event is for BC Hydro employees only, and the online portion will be accessible to both external attendees and BC Hydro <a href="http://internal.This" target="_blank" title="internal.This">internal.This event is to recognize and celebrate women in engineering and their various accomplishments across the industry. This year, we are focusing on leadership, involvement, and sharing perspectives – as such, we will have a panel of women in various engineering leadership roles to share about their journeys, experiences, and insights – be ready to ask questions!
