DESCRIPTION:This presentation examines the transition of applied research i
 n artificial intelligence\, power systems\, and building energy management
  toward early-stage deployment through the formation of Semitechnic Corp.\
 , A startup emerging from research conducted in collaboration with the Uni
 versity of Alberta. The talk outlines how academic methods\, including dat
 a-driven optimization\, edge AI\, and intelligent control\, are being adap
 ted for practical use in building-scale and distributed energy systems.\nR
 ather than emphasizing completed commercialization outcomes\, the presenta
 tion focuses on the process of moving from research prototypes to deployab
 le systems. Topics include system architecture design\, integration with e
 xisting electrical and building automation infrastructure\, validation usi
 ng operational data\, and challenges encountered in progressing toward pil
 ot and field deployment. The session concludes with reflections on alignin
 g academic research with real-world constraints related to resilience\, el
 ectrification\, and distributed energy resource integration.\n\nCo-sponsor

 of applied research in artificial intelligence\, power systems\, and build
 ing energy management toward early-stage deployment through the formation 
 of Semitechnic Corp.\, A&amp;nbsp\;startup emerging from research conducted in
  collaboration with the University of Alberta. The talk outlines how acade
 mic methods\, including data-driven optimization\, edge AI\, and intellige
 nt control\, are being adapted for practical use in building-scale and dis
 tributed energy systems.&lt;br&gt;Rather than emphasizing completed commercializ
 ation outcomes\, the presentation focuses on the process of moving from re
 search prototypes to deployable systems. Topics include system architectur
 e design\, integration with existing electrical and building automation in
 frastructure\, validation using operational data\, and challenges encounte
 red in progressing toward pilot and field deployment. The session conclude
 s with reflections on aligning academic research with real-world constrain
 ts related to resilience\, electrification\, and distributed energy resour
 ce integration.&lt;/p&gt;
