In this talk\, I'll show how\, in pri nciple\, both of\nthese steps can be carried out in photonics rather than with electronics. I'll describe how and why photonic computing\ncan yield up to three orders of magnitude faster computation than GPUs while consumi ng much less power. I will\ndescribe my group's work in creating photonic neurons and photonic Ising processors. I'll also describe the challenges\n that all photonic computing schemes face\, along with advantages and disad vantages that originate from the\nunderlying physics.\n\nUltra-thin solar cells and quadcopter drones (9.20 – 10.30 am)\nWe have built and tested several solar power drones over the past 20 years. In 2018\, our team was the first in the\nworld to achieve 100% solar flight in a rotorcraft\, and earlier this year\, the maximum flight time we achieved reached\nover 4 h ours with no battery on board. In this talk\, I will discuss the engineeri ng challenges associated with solar power\nrotorcraft\, and show several v ideos of various aircraft that we have built and flown over the years. I w ill also discuss\nthe ultra-thin solar cells which we fabricate here in Si ngapore for this application\, along with the unique challenges\nthey pose .\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Aaron Danner\, \n\nRoom: 103 lecture hall\, Bldg: D-1\, AGH University\, Av.
