We’ll also discuss how IEEE resources, communities, and volunteering opportunities can support your development journey — from technical learning to building a strong professional network. These sessions are informal, private, and tailored to your interests. Hosted by an IEEE volunteer as part of our commitment to mentoring and professional development within the technical community. Note: Limited availability. Registration is required. Please do not forward this link publicly. Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/483987

Join IEEE as we directly engage with local congressional staff to address our engineering issues through IEEE-USA Congressional Outreach Program (ICOP). This unique opportunity provides a platform for all Young Professionals to voice their concerns or key ideas. Through a series of congressional meetings with your representative staff members, you have an opportunity in policy discussions and build stronger partnerships as you move forward in your career. This opportunity is geared towards our young professionals who are currently attending or have graduated from university within the last 15 years. IEEE membership is required. If you’re willing to make a difference, or have any further questions, contact the current YP chair, (mailto:[email protected]?subject=Expression%20of%20Interest%20-%20ICOP%20) or any of our LSS/IEEE officers ASAP.

IEEE PI2 Austin, May 27, 2025, Tech Meeting In-Person 6 PM Central / 7 PM Eastern at Venue Change for this meeting: Dinner Provided Burns & McDonnell, 6200 Bridge Point Pkwy Unit 400, Austin, TX 78730 Abstract: Residential solar has undergone a quiet revolution in power electronics—shifting from centralized string inverters to module-level power electronics (MLPE) like optimizers and microinverters. Each step aimed to improve efficiency, reliability, and control. But current systems remain constrained by rigid architectures and inefficiencies at the edge. This saturation in technology has stalled the progress of home solar and storage technology, but also invites opportunities for new architecture. This talk explores the evolution of these technologies, the design trade-offs behind each generation, and how our approach could reshape home energy systems for greater resilience, modularity, and intelligence. It concludes with a discussion of a new "cellular" power inverter architecture that preserves the best of the legacy approaches while enabling home energy users and installers unprecedented flexibility and cost advantages.

Francisco “Pacho” Carrero Valentin will be our speaker. He is the Chair of the MOVE Puerto Rico Locale and an active volunteer with the American Red Cross- Puerto Rico Chapter with the Disaster Technology and the Disaster Assessment Teams. IEEE MOVE Global is an emergency response program dedicated to assisting natural disaster relief efforts with short-term communication and power solutions. The program provides essential services such as internet access, mobile phone charging, and lighting to help people stay connected during disasters. When not deployed for emergency relief, IEEE MOVE Global engages in community outreach and STEM education.

Please Join Us For a Great Italian Dinner to Honor John Reinert 2025 Winner of the John Meredith Region 5 Lifetime Achievement Award at the Downtown Panino's Restaurant on Tuesday, May 27 6 pm. David Bondurant will do a talk on the latest packaging technology for High Performance & AI Processors: “If we make them smaller, we can make them faster” has been the approach to building faster computers over the last 70-years starting with the first transistors and continuing as we built increasingly more complex integrated circuits. More recently we have gone Beyond Moore’s Law to fabricate advanced supercomputers and AI computers using 3D Memory and 3D Packaging. In this talk, I review recent trends in 3D Memory and 3D Packaging which are driving these high performance system towards wafer scale systems with multiple reticle sized processors and 3D memories. We observe the next generation HBM4, high bandwidth 3D DRAM, and the emergence of the HBF, high bandwidth Flash memory, to increase memory capacity to serve larger databases.
