DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ravinder Dahiya\, Bendable Electronics and Sensing
  Technologies (BEST) Group\, James Watt School of Engineering\, University
  of Glasgow\, G12 8QQ\, UK\n\nThe miniaturization led advances in electron
 ics during the last half century have revolutionized our lives through hig
 h-speed computing\, communication and digital technologies which touch our
  life in almost all traditional sectors today (e.g.\, health\, aerospace\,
  manufacturing\, and retail etc.). Yet\, as revolutionary as micro/nanoele
 ctronics technology has been\, in its current form\, it is not sustainable
  and also leading to issues such as electronic waste. Further\, current pr
 oduction processes for are inherently and unavoidably wasteful. For exampl
 e\, integrated circuits (IC) fabs rely almost entirely on subtractive manu
 facturing methods\, leading to large material wastages. Further\, these fa
 bs require vast quantities of water\, energy\, and land and there is consi
 derable adverse environmental impact. Clearly\, there is a need for new re
 source efficient and environment friendly routes for electronics manufactu
 ring and ICT systems. Today electronics are omnipresent\, and the process 
 follows a top-down flow. In the future a bottoms up flow will lead to a mo
 re sustainable process. This talk will discuss the current model for susta
 inable electronics\, and propose better models for the future. The talk wi
 ll cover the magnitude of e-waste\, the ICT Footprint\, Sustainable Techno
 logies\, and circular electronics.\n\nSpeaker(s): Ravinder\, \n\nAgenda: \
