Distinguished Lecturer Talk by Distinguished Lecturer and IEEE Fellow Professor Costas Sarris
EIT 3142, 200 University Ave W, ON, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, N2L 3G1, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/501586Talk Title: Scientific Machine Learning for Electromagnetic Field ComputationsAbstractA recent report by the US Department of Energy defines the area of scientific machine learning as “a core component of artificial intelligence (AI) and a computational technology that can be trained, with scientific data, to augment or automate human skills”, which has “the potential to transform science and energy research”. In this presentation, we discuss the potential of scientific machine learning methods to problems in computational electromagnetics starting from standard electromagnetic structure analysis and multi-physics modeling in the time-domain, employing an unsupervised learning strategy based on Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINN). PINNs directly integrate physical laws into their loss function, so that the training process does not rely on the generation of training ground truth data from simulations (as in typical neural networks). We demonstrate the unconditionally stable solution of coupled electromagnetic-thermal problems, along with the modeling of frequency selective surfaces and metasurfaces, orders of magnitude faster than the conventional finite-difference time-domain technique (FDTD), including training time of the neural <a href="http://network.Moreover" target="_blank" title="network.Moreover">network.Moreover, we demonstrate the impact of machine learning on the computational modeling of radiowave propagation scenarios. We build convolutional neural network models that can process the geometry of indoor environments, along with physics-inspired parameters, to rapidly estimate received signal strength (RSS) maps. Emphasis is placed on the generalizability of these models, which is their ability to "learn" the physics of radiowave propagation and produce accurate modeling predictions in new geometries well beyond those included in their training <a href="http://set.Speaker" target="_blank" title="set.Speaker">set.Speaker BioProf. Costas Sarris is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto.

The Road to Gate-All-Around CMOS
Room: CEME 1202, Bldg: Civil and Mechanical Engineering Building, 6250 Applied Science Lane, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6T 1Z4Technical talk with the following abstract:Despite the much debated end of Moore's Law, CMOS scaling still maintains economic relevance with 3nm finFET SoCs already in the marketplace for three years and 2nm gate-all-around SoCs anticipated late this year. Area scaling extensively driven by design/technology innovations co-optimized for primarily logic scaling continue to offer compelling node-to-node power, performance, area, and cost benefits. In this tutorial, we will start with a walk through memory lane, recounting a brief history of transistor evolution to motivate the migration from the planar MOSFET to the fully depleted FinFET. We will summarize the key process technology elements that have enabled the finFET CMOS nodes, highlighting the resulting device technology characteristics and challenges. This will set the context for motivating the transition to the gate-all-around device architecture, namely nanoribbons or nanosheets, and unveiling the magic of how these devices are <a href="http://fabricated.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="fabricated.Speaker(s):">fabricated.Speaker(s): Alvin Loke, Room: CEME 1202, Bldg: Civil and Mechanical Engineering Building, 6250 Applied Science Lane, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6T 1Z4
