Recent advances in all-dielectric nanophotonics |
|---|---|
|
Speaker |
Dr. Sergey Makarov Dr. Sergey Makarov (born April 25, 1988) is Senior Research Fellow of the Department of Nanophotonics and Metamaterials in ITMO University (Saint-Petersburg, Russia). He graduated in National Research Nuclear University “MEPhI” (Moscow, Russia) and got PhD in Lebedev Physical Institute (Moscow, Russia). S.V. Makarov worked in Vienna Technological University (Vienna, Austria) as a visiting researcher. He co-authored about 50 research publications and specializes in nanophotonics, ultrafast phenomena and laser-assisted nanoengineering. |
|
Abstract |
The resonant metallic nanoparticles are proven
to be efficient systems for the electromagnetic
field control at nanoscale, owing to the ability
to localize and enhance the optical field via
excitation of strong plasmon resonances. In turn,
high refractive index dielectric nanoparticles
with low dissipative losses in the visible range,
possessing magnetic and electric Mie-type
resonances, offer great opportunity for light
control via designing of scattering properties.
Such resonant nanoparticles made of high
refractive index dielectrics (Si, Ge etc.)
revolutionized the field of nanophotonics, opening
a new branch – All-dielectric Nanophotonics. In
this talk, we will discuss recent advances in the
all-dielectric nanophotonics, including such
effects as nonlinear reconfiguration of
nanoparticle scattering properties and enhanced
optical frequency conversion. Additionally, I will
present our novel methods for fabrication of
resonant all-dielectric and metal/dielectric
nanoparticles. |

Abstract |
Graphene is a flat, two-dimensional monolayer of
carbon atoms predicted to display a rich variety
of electronic, photonics, and optoelectronic
behaviors, as it is a unique semimetal that
exhibits a field-effect-controlled conductivity at
room temperature and a photoexcited plasmon gain.
In my talk, I will give an overview of our recent
theoretical and experimental progress in
graphene-based microwave and optoelectronic
nanodevices and nanocircuits. First, I will
discuss how the gate-tunable surface plasmon
polaritons in graphene may enable ultrafast and
frequency-reconfigurable THz optoelectronic
devices. Then, I will present a novel all-graphene
microwave transponder sensor that consists of
graphene-based ambipolar RF mixer/sensor and a
high-opacity multilayered graphene antenna, paving
the way towards ultrasensitive, ultracompact,
transparent, and flexible wireless sensors.
Finally, I will present graphene-based parity-time
(PT) symmetric electronic and optoelectronic
systems, of which the singularity-enhanced
sensitivity may outperform those of conventional
passive wireless sensors. |

Abstract |
This lecture presents some of the prominent
barriers to designing energy-efficient circuits in
the sub-14nm CMOS technology regime and outlines
new paradigm shifts necessary in next-generation
multi-core microprocessors and systems-on-chip.
Emerging trends and key challenges in sub-14nm
design are outlined, including (i) device and
on-chip interconnect technology projections, (ii)
performance, leakage and voltage scalability,
(iii) special-purpose hardware accelerators and
reconfigurable co-processors for compute-intensive
signal processing algorithms, (iv) fine-grain
power management with integrated voltage
regulators, and (v) resilient circuit design to
enable robust variation-tolerant operation.
Energy-efficient arithmetic and logic circuit
techniques, static/dynamic supply scaling, on-die
interconnect fabric circuits, ultra-low-voltage
and near-threshold logic and memory circuit
techniques, and multi-supply/multi-clock domain
design for switching and leakage energy reduction
are described. Special purpose hardware
accelerators and data-path building blocks for
enabling high GOPS/Watt on specialized DSP tasks
such as encryption, graphics and media processing
are presented. Power efficient optimization of
microprocessors to span a wide operating range
across high performance servers to ultra mobile
SoCs, dynamic on-the fly configurability and
adaptation, and circuit techniques for
active/standby-mode leakage reduction with robust
low-voltage operability are reviewed. Specific
chip design examples and case studies supported by
silicon measurements and trade-offs will be
discussed. |

Topic/Title |
Not just H2O – why water quality is important |
|---|---|
|
Speaker |
Dr. Ernest To is an environmental engineer who
has worked in the water resources field for 17
years. Ernest earned his BS and PhD degrees
in Civil Engineering from the University of Texas
at Austin, and his MS degree in Environmental
Engineering from Cornell University. He
specializes in computer modeling of pollutants in
water bodies such as lakes, rivers and
estuaries. He works for an environmental
consulting company - Alan Plummer and Associates,
Inc.- in Austin, TX. |
|
Abstract |
We commonly associate water with H2O.
However much of the water in nature is a blend of
different chemicals – natural and man-made.
Some are beneficial, some not so, and some vary
depending on how they interact with others.
The water engineer maintains this delicate balance
like a chef controlling the taste and nutritional
value of his soup. Computer models are an
important tool to help predict water quality and
lower the risk of environmental problems.
Ernest will talk about a couple of interesting
modeling projects in Texas and how they impact
everybody’s favorite soup. |

High-resolution orthogonal photolithography enabled for organic electronics and photonics |
|---|---|
|
Speaker |
Professor Alex Zakhidov, Physics and
Materials Science, Engineering and
Commercialization Programs, Texas State University |
|
Abstract |
Orthogonal photolithography (OP) takes advantage
of the fact that the vast majority of organic
semiconducting materials are either oleophilic or
hydrophilic and are hence orthogonal to highly
fluorinated chemicals. Therefore, appropriate
fluorinated photoresists can be used to pattern
organic layers without compromising performance of
organic device. The availability of such
orthogonal photoresists promises to enable the
fabrication of complex device structures,
expanding the range of possibilities for organic
electronics. Particular, OP technique enables
sub‐pixel high‐resolution patterning for OLED
displays. Once RGB sub‐pixel structuring is
realized it is expected to improve (up to 10
times) the efficiency of a display. Moreover,
processing solvents used for OP can be used as
encapsulation media to improve heat management of
high brightness OLED devices. Other applications
of OP include ultra‐small channel OTFTs, OTFT
based circuits and low cross talk organic
perovskite photodetectors. |

|
Abstract |
The President of IEEE has proposed a set of
changes to the constitution of IEEE that affects
the structure of the Board of Directors. We
understand that he proposes to ask for a
membership vote this fall on amending the
constitution of IEEE to fundamentally change how
IEEE is governed. We would like out members
to be properly informed about this proposal and
vote their views on the subject. The following is a quote from The Institute, describing the changes proposed. “At its November 2015 meeting, the IEEE Board of Directors endorsed revisions to the IEEE Constitution, which will be sent to the IEEE membership for approval this year in the form of one amendment. Here is a summary of what the amendment accomplishes: “1. Separates the role of an IEEE delegate from an IEEE director, so that directors need not also be delegates. This modification will allow the IEEE organizational structure to change in the future to better respond to the demands of a complex and changing world. Ultimately this will better serve the needs of members, the profession, and the public. “2. Separates the requirement that corporate officers must also be directors. This will allow corporate officers as currently defined to serve in important leadership positions other than on the Board of Directors. “3. Provides members with an increased role in selecting the Board of Directors by allowing the Board to be elected by the full eligible voting membership of IEEE. “4. Adds the executive director, who is the most senior IEEE staff executive, as a nonvoting member of the Board of Directors to participate in setting the strategic direction of IEEE. “5. Establishes a new role for IEEE delegates, who are members of the IEEE Assembly, to advise the Board of Directors on revisions to IEEE bylaws. “6. Adds language to the IEEE Constitution that explicitly ensures a richly diverse Board of Directors.” |

Best Practices, and Benefits of Load Testing |
|---|---|
|
Speaker |
|
|
Abstract |
This will provide an overview of applications
for load bank testing. The presentation will
provide information for electric power system
operators and facility managers who are interested
in improving reliability, availability, and
efficiency of the primary and backup power supply
systems at mission critical facilities and
electric power system interconnections. We will review the value of load testing, impact of load testing on reliability, strategies for commissioning and testing, and finally best practices will be discussed. This is a practical overview of best practices for commissioning across industry sectors including Utility, Critical Power Systems, and Renewable Systems. It gives the audience some practical takeaways to improve operations and a guide for commissioning processes. Best practices will be reviewed including integrated system testing by testing all of the subsystems that will affect the performance of the electric power system, and use innovations in load testing that produce actionable information and confidence in the validation as it is obtained. We will also review a common commissioning process and highlight the opportunity exists to optimize the efficiency and performance of a system in sectors where this matters. Following is an outline of the sections of the presentation:
