SUMMARY:Packaging of Multimodal Sensors with Backscattering Telemetry for Health-Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Packaging of Multimodal Sensors with Backscattering Telemetry for Health-Monitoring\nDr. Markondeya Raj Pulgurtha\, Florida International University\nDate: October 12\, 2026\nTime: 3:30 pm to 4:10pm\nLocation: PSU Vernier Science Center room 105\nWearable sensors co-packaged with sensor\, signal mixer and telemetry components are developed to provide a multimodal cardiovascular monitoring platform with good signal sensitivity and data telemetry. In vitro phantom validation and benchmarking against current multimodal sensors have been used to demonstrate NIRS\, ECG and SCG functionality. Wireless data transfer with near-field inductive link is developed and characterized. Low-frequency (40-200 kHz) telemetry with multiferroic transducers are also developed to enable efficient wireless power telemetry and sensor control through programmable static magnetic field generation. The system achieves robust power transmission at distances exceeding 3 cm by operating below 300 kHz\, thereby minimizing tissue absorption\, heat generation\, and electromagnetic losses. The resulting patch can therefore function as a disposable\, batteryless sensing layer with minimal embedded electronics. This architecture establishes a scalable path toward continuous low-burden cardiac monitoring with extremely low power operation and manufacturable flexible sensor integration.\nCo-sponsored by: Portland Sate University Physics Dept.\nSpeaker(s): Dr. P M Raj\,\nAgenda:\n3:30 pm Introduction\n4:10 pm Adjourn\nRoom: 105\, Bldg: Vernier Science Center\, Portland State University\, 1025 SW Mill Street\, Portland\, Oregon\, United States\, 97201

This talk will discuss how advances in materials engineering and semiconductor device physics are expanding their potential functions beyond photodetection to include sensing\, memory\, and basic information processing. Professor Cheng will first discuss the physical mechanisms governing the operation and memory behavior of hybrid organic–oxide phototransistors. He will then present recent advances in programmable phototransistor memories\, in which electrical control of trapped charge enables tunable memory retention\, adaptive forgetting\, and selected neuromodulator-inspired functions. Finally\, he will discuss the potential use of these device capabilities for in-sensor and temporal information processing by taking advantage of programmable physical dynamics.\nThis seminar will provide students\, researchers\, and industry professionals with an overview of the connections among semiconductor materials\, device physics\, intelligent sensing\, and emerging computing technologies. Attendees will gain a better understanding of how phototransistor memory may contribute to future sensing and neuromorphic computing systems.\nFormat:\n–\nTalk: ~40 minutes\n–\nQ&A and Discussion: ~15 minutes\nReferences:\n(https://techxplore.com/news/2026-06-brain-phototransistor-ai-energy.html)\nAdvanced Functional Materials\, doi.org/10.1002/adfm.75942\nAdvanced Optical Materials\, doi.org/10.1002/adom.202500081\nJournal of Materials Chemistry C\, doi.org/10.1039/d5tc04439a\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/566556

SUMMARY:Trusted AI Adoption Using Fine-Tuned Reinforcement Learning
DESCRIPTION:This is an online event. Pre-registration is required.\nTrusted adoption of an AI solution in an enterprise setting has many requirements. Large Language Models (LLMs) can often be constrained by the risks of hallucination bias and limited operational trust and reliability. Overcoming these challenges requires models whose output is fully grounded\, auditable\, and accurate. In addition\, enterprise policy compliancy is critical in highly regulated sectors such as finance\, healthcare\, legal\, insurance\, government\, and critical infrastructure.\nThis presentation will discuss a solution framework with open-source models that can be systematically adapted using a combination of post-training optimization with advanced and agentic Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to create a production-ready enterprise LLM architecture. Advanced RAG is able to strengthen factual grounding through hybrid retrieval\, metadata filtering\, reranking\, citation generation\, and context optimization. Agentic RAG is able to extend this capability by enabling planner\, retriever\, verifier\, and critic agents to decompose complex tasks\, iteratively retrieve evidence\, validate sufficiency\, re-query when needed\, and produce auditable answers suitable for enterprise production use.\nSpeaker(s): Prasad Venkatachar\,\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/577393
