DESCRIPTION:The IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) – Boise Chapter 
 is excited to invite you to our first chapter activity of 2026. We hope yo
 u will join us for an engaging technical presentation and networking oppor
 tunity.\n\n📅 Event Details\n\n- When: Thursday\, March 26\, 2026\nTime:
  5:30 PM – 6:30 PM\n- Where: MEC309\, Micron Engineering Center\nBoise S
 tate University Campus\n\n🎤 Technical Presentation\n\nTitle: Gearing To
 wards Designing Energy-Efficient AI Processors\nSpeaker: Dr. Omiya Hassan\
 nAssistant Professor\, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering\n
 Boise State University\n\n📄 Abstract\n\nAs Artificial Intelligence (AI)
  continues to scale\, the gap between required computing capability and ex
 isting hardware resources continues to widen. This talk will provide an ov
 erview of architectural innovations and optimization strategies for buildi
 ng high-performance\, energy-efficient AI processors. Dr. Hassan will disc
 uss the industry’s transition toward domain-specific architectures (DSAs
 ) and examine methodologies for estimating and reducing energy consumption
  in deep neural network (DNN) and large language model (LLM) hardware. The
  presentation will highlight emerging approaches that balance performance\
 , scalability\, and energy efficiency in next-generation AI systems.\n\n
 👩‍🏫 Speaker Bio\n\nDr. Omiya Hassan joined Boise State University 
 in 2023 and is currently a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Departm
 ent of Electrical and Computer Engineering. She received her Ph.D. in Elec
 trical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Missouri an
 d earned her B.S. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from United In
 ternational University\, Bangladesh\, in 2017.\n\nDr. Hassan leads the LPi
 NS (Low-Power Integrated Circuits and Embedded Systems) Laboratory\, where
  her group models and develops energy-efficient algorithms and complementa
 ry low-power processors at the IC and RTL levels for emerging computer arc
 hitectures. Her research spans both foundational and applied domains\, wit
 h applications ranging from biomedical devices to near-memory processing a
 rchitectures. She is currently leading efforts focused on the design and d
 evelopment of 3D-stacked\, near-memory heterogeneous computing architectur
 es for large-scale parallel and AI workloads.\n\n📝 RSVP\n\nPlease RSVP
