What is 3-MUC? The 3-MUC gives undergraduate students a chance to share an interesting piece of work they have accomplished and practice their communication skills. It follows the scope of the 3 minute thesis style, but relaxes the requirement for novel research to allow a broader section of the undergraduate student body to participate. As a successful applicant, you will prepare a 3 minute presentation about your work. You are only allowed one slide to accompany your presentation as a visual aid. You will present your work to a panel of judges who will select three winners based on our judgement criteria. The winners are invited to the annual Kingston IEEE banquet dinner, where they will be awarded their prize. Who can apply? All undergraduate students who have an interesting piece of work to share. For example, summer research students, QUIP interns, design team members. By no means is that an exhaustive list. If you are unsure, feel free to reach out to the event organization team. IEEE membership is required to participate in the competition, but students receive discounted membership as well as many other perks, including: - Discounts at conferences - Access to technical talks from experts - Networking - IEEE’s dedicated job board - Competitions for students hosted by the IEEE - Scholarships You can register for IEEE membership at the link below. https://www.ieee.org/membership/join Co-sponsored by: Abedal Rahman Shehabi Kingston, Ontario, Canada

Abstract: Data center, compute, and AI applications continue to demand higher bandwidth from electrical interconnects. The volume of short-reach links (less than a few cm) has exploded to facilitate high-bandwidth data movement between compute engines and memory in the AI era. This massive growth will continue as the industry moves towards highly-parallelized die-to-die interfaces to support chiplet-based architectures. However, power efficiency in these links is of paramount importance to maintain reasonable power levels within a compute drawer. This talk will focus on trends and advancements in power-efficient short reach links that aim to maximize the shoreline bandwidth density. Multi-disciplinary approaches involving circuit innovations, architectural advancements, data signaling techniques, and packaging technologies are required to deliver linear bandwidth densities above 1 Tbps/mm at power efficiencies below 500 fJ/bit. Timothy (Tod) Dickson received the B.S. and M.Eng. degrees from the University of Florida, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Toronto. Since 2006 he has been with the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY where he is currently a Principal Research Scientist. His research is on circuits and architectures for power-efficient serial communication. He is also an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University in New York, NY. Dr. Dickson has been an author or co-author of several papers that have received best paper awards, including the inaugural VLSI Circuits Symposium Best Student Paper Award in 2004, the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits Best Paper in 2009, the ISSCC Beatrice Winner Award in 2009, and the IEEE CICC Best Regular Paper Award in 2015 and Best Invited Paper Award in 2024. He served on the TPC of the IEEE CICC from 2017-2023 and was an Associate Editor of the IEEE Solid State Circuits Letters over the same time period. He is currently an Associate Editor of the IEEE Open Journal of the Solid State Circuits Society and IEEE SSCS Distinguished Lecturer. He is an IEEE Senior Member.

A semesterly recurring series of 15 tutoring sessions designed to support students in their exam preparations. These sessions will be held in the IEEE office throughout December, leading up to final exams. The event provides a comfortable and supportive environment for students to review course material with the help of knowledgeable tutors. This event usually brings in a total of 250-300 students, and grows in popularity every year. 800 King Edward Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Direct current (DC) microgrids are emerging as a promising solution for integrating renewable energy, battery storage, and electric vehicle infrastructure with high efficiency and reliability. However, the shift toward DC distribution introduces a new set of technical and operational challenges. This presentation provides an accessible overview of the key issues facing DC microgrid development, including protection and fault detection, system stability, and safe interconnection with existing AC networks. Drawing from both research and industry experience, the talk explores how protection schemes, and standards are evolving to support the next generation of resilient, flexible, and efficient DC power systems. Attendees will gain a broad understanding of the opportunities and barriers shaping DC microgrids today, and how these systems are poised to influence the future of power distribution.
