The title of the talk will be on:\n\n“1+1=3:The Power of Groups : From Tiny Chips to Space Super-Structures”\n\nAbstract:\nMany of today ’s technological marvels have emerged from putting apparently unrelated ideas together and creating something more than the sum of the parts. Sili con integrated chips have come a long way from the days of first transisto rs. Nowadays\, we can place billions of transistors operating at extremely high frequencies on a single chip as well as optical component. This offe rs a plethora of new opportunities that prior silicon chips could not addr ess. In this talk\, I will discuss a holistic design approach to integrate d circuits leading to yet further proliferation of such technologies into our daily lives. We will discuss some of its exciting results\, including low-cost tera-hertz imagers\, nano-photonic coherent cameras capable of fo rming 3D images\, optical phased arrays\, space-based solar power transfer \, self-healing circuits that repair themselves\, and medical diagnostic a nd therapeutic devices solutions based on electromagnetic sensing and mani pulation.\n\nBio:\n[Professor Hajimiri’s group](http://chic.caltech.edu/ ) does research on electronics and photonics integrated circuits and their applications in various disciplines\, including high-frequency and high-s peed communications\, sensing\, imaging\, and bio-sensing. His research gr oup engages in both the theoretical analysis of the problems in integrated circuits as well as practical implementations of new systems.\nProf. Ali Hajimiri received his B.S. degree in Electronics Engineering from the Shar if University of Technology\, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical eng ineering from the Stanford University.\n\nBefore joining the Faculty of Ca ltech\, he worked at Philips Semiconductors\, where he worked on a BiCMOS chipset for GSM and cellular units\, at Sun Microsystems working on the Ul traSPARC microprocessor’s cache RAM design methodology\, and with Lucent Technologies (Bell Labs)\, Murray Hill\, NJ\, where he investigated low-p hase-noise integrated oscillators. In 1998\, he joined the Faculty of the California Institute of Technology\, Pasadena\, where he is Bren Professor of Electrical Engineering and Medical Engineering\, Director of Caltech H olistic Integrated Circuit Laboratory\, and co-Director of the Space-based Solar Power Project. His research interests are high-speed and high-frequ ency electronics and photonics integrated circuits for applications in sen sors\, biomedical devices\, photonics\, and communication systems.\n\nProf . Hajimiri is the author of The Design of Low Noise Oscillators (Boston\, MA: Springer) and has authored and coauthored close to 200 refereed journa l and conference technical articles. He has been granted more than 90 U.S. patents and has many more pending applications. He has served on the Tech nical Program Committee of the International Solid-State Circuits Conferen ce (ISSCC)\, as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Cir cuits (JSSC)\, as an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems (TCAS): Part-II\, a member of the Technical Program Committees of the International Conference on Computer Aided Design (ICCAD)\, Guest Edi tor of the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques\, and Gues t Editorial Board of Transactions of Institute of Electronics\, Informatio n and Communication Engineers of Japan (IEICE).\n\nHe is a Fellow of Natio nal Academy of Inventors (NAI). Prof. Hajimiri was selected to the TR35 to p innovator’s list. He is also a Fellow of IEEE and has served as a Dist inguished Lecturer of the IEEE Solid-State and Microwave Societies. He is the recipient of Caltech’s Graduate Students Council Teaching and Mentor ing award as well as the Associated Students of Caltech Undergraduate Exce llence in Teaching Award. He was the Gold medal winner of the National Phy sics Competition and the Bronze Medal winner of the 21st International Phy sics Olympiad\, Groningen\, Netherlands. He was a co-recipient of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits Best Paper Award of 2004\, the Internatio nal Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) Jack Kilby Outstanding Paper A ward\, a co-recipient of RFIC best paper award\, a two-time co-recipient o f CICC best paper award\, and a three-time winner of the IBM faculty partn ership award as well as National Science Foundation CAREER award and Okawa Foundation award. In 2002\, he co-founded Axiom Microdevices Inc.\, whose fully-integrated CMOS PA has shipped more than 250\,000\,000 units\, and was acquired by Skyworks Inc. in 2009.\n\nRegistration Link: http://sites. ieee.org/scv-sscs/upcoming-events/\n\nThe seminar is FREE and donation is accepted for refreshments (FREE SSCS members/$2 IEEE members/$5 non-member s\, pay online or at the door).\nEventbrite registration is required for e veryone to attend the talk.\n\nDate: May 17\, 2018 (Thursday)\n6:00-6:30pm \, Networking and refreshments\n6:30-8:00pm\, Technical Talk\n\nWhere: Tex as Instruments Auditorium (Building E Visitor Center)\, 2900 Semiconductor Dr\, Santa Clara\, CA 95051\, [Directions](https://www.google.com/maps/pl ace/Texas+Instruments+Inc/@37.3765565\,-122.0022755\,17z/data=%213m1%214b1 %214m2%213m1%211s0x808fb604aacfda47:0xe0dcedd3a9e6d5) and [Map (to locate Building E)](http://www.ewh.ieee.org/r6/scv/ssc/NSC.pdf)\n\nWe look forwar d to your participation in our next IEEE SCV SSCS events.
