Join IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) Ottawa and IEEE Young Professionals for an engaging afternoon exploring the impact of Artificial Intelligence and the opportunities it creates for the next generation of innovators. The event will feature keynote presentations from industry leaders Sepideh Afsar Doost (AMD) and Fatemeh Banaeizadeh, PhD (CBSA), followed by an interactive Q&A and discussion. Participants will then have the opportunity to take part in an “Ask Engineers Anything” session, where additional mentors and engineers will join the keynote speakers for an open and informal discussion. The event will conclude with acknowledgements, a group photo, and a networking walk with Tech2Step in Kanata, providing attendees with an opportunity to connect with fellow engineers, students, young professionals, and industry mentors - they’ll be joined for our signature "Ask Engineers Anything" session by: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dima-dababneh/) — Software Engineering Manager, (https://www.linkedin.com/company/solacedotcom/) (https://www.linkedin.com/in/asthatiwari19/) — IT Product Manager, (https://www.linkedin.com/company/uottawa/) & VP, (https://www.linkedin.com/company/ancwt/) (ANCWT) Have questions about AI, engineering careers, software, product management, leadership or breaking into tech? Ask them. Anything. UNFILTERED!! And because we believe some of the best conversations happen when you step away from the room, we take the conversation outside for a Tech2Step networking walk through Kanata North's tech park. No awkward networking. No perfect elevator pitch required. Just walk. Ask. Learn. Connect.

Everyone is welcome. Hosted by the IEEE Ottawa AP/MTT Joint Chapter in collaboration with the IEEE Carleton University Student Branch (OU SB02451). Despite the opportunities in microwave and electromagnetics, many researchers and engineers hesitate to pursue entrepreneurial ventures because of technical complexity, limited market awareness, and the challenge of connecting innovation with business strategy. This seminar is for young professionals, early-career engineers, and graduate students exploring careers beyond academia. Dr. Vishal Balasubramanian will discuss how lab research can become scalable products: identifying industry needs, developing proof-of-concept prototypes, finding funding, building a business model, and commercializing ideas. Real-world examples will offer practical insights into connecting academic research with industry demand. Speaker(s): Dr. Vishal Balasubramanian, Room: 447, Bldg: Tory Building, 1125 Colonel By Dr., Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1S 5B6 |

Heterogeneous materials often exhibit spatial variations in structure, mechanical properties, and acoustic response. To characterize such variations, we have been developing imaging and measurement techniques based mainly on ultrasound. This presentation will introduce our recent studies on the visualization and characterization of heterogeneous materials from the surface to the interior. High-frequency ultrasonic imaging is used to obtain acoustic parameters such as sound velocity and attenuation. In elastography and optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based strain imaging, mechanical stimuli are applied to evaluate local mechanical heterogeneity. These approaches are applied to a wide range of heterogeneous materials, including minerals, soils, food materials, and biological tissues. Through these studies, we aim to establish an Acoustic Morphology framework that describes material states and spatial heterogeneity by integrating acoustic, mechanical, and structural information.

About this event: Quantum communication offers new ways to protect and transmit information; however, sending quantum states through free space presents a challenge: atmospheric turbulence can distort the shape of light as it travels, making it difficult to reliably recover the information encoded in the light. In this talk, the speaker will present an approach that uses nonlinear optics to automatically correct these distortions. The key idea is to use a process called stimulated parametric down-conversion to create a phase-conjugated copy of the distorted light. In this way, the optical system can compensate for the effects of turbulence without requiring a conventional adaptive-optics system or prior knowledge of the atmospheric conditions. The speaker will discuss how this approach can be used to improve the transmission of information encoded in different spatial patterns of light, and present theoretical, numerical, and experimental results demonstrating its ability to mitigate turbulence. This work explores a new route toward more robust free-space quantum communication and could help make high-dimensional quantum communication more practical in real-world atmospheric environments Aaron Cardoso Aaron Cardoso is a physicist and PhD student in Physics at the University of Ottawa, where he works in Robert Boyd’s group on nonlinear and quantum optics. He received his Bachelor's degree in Physics from the Metropolitan Autonomous University in Mexico City and his Master's degree in Physics from the Center for Research in Optics in Guanajuato, Mexico. His research focuses on structured light and quantum optics, with particular interests in orbital angular momentum, high-dimensional quantum communication, quantum key distribution, and nonlinear optical processes such as spontaneous and stimulated parametric down-conversion. His current work explores nonlinear optical methods for manipulating and protecting structured quantum states of light, with the goal of developing more robust and scalable free-space quantum communication technologies.
