Title: A Practical Introduction to Quantum Computing
Register below to receive meeting link
Abstract:
Quantum Computing is a developing technology that promises the exciting possibility of solving computational challenges not accessible with classical processors. It can also be the subject of a great deal of hype and exaggerated claims. This webinar will offer a practical view of the technology, beginning with a brief, accessible, introduction to the unusual physics harnessed by quantum processors, followed by a summary of the actual, practical technology currently available to the public and others, focusing on IBM Quantum’s offerings, then a short live demonstration (connectivity permitting) of interacting with the systems both via the web and Qiskit software libraries.

Title: Advanced Nanoscale MOSFET Simulation with the Subband Boltzmann Transport Equation
Register below to receive meeting link.
Abstract:
Join us for an in-depth exploration of Nanoscale MOSFET Simulation using the Subband Boltzmann Transport Equation (SBTE), powered by the advanced GTS Nano Device Simulator (NDS). This webinar will guide you through the fundamentals of simulating MOSFETs at the nanoscale, focusing on device performance and transport phenomena. We will demonstrate live simulations and cover not only traditional silicon-based MOSFETs but also cutting-edge 1D and 2D materials like transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), graphene, and carbon nanotubes. Attendees will gain hands-on insights into modeling these materials and learn how to leverage the SBTE for advanced device design.

Topic: Multiparametric Impedance Discriminant Analysis – A New, Effective Tool to Study Macromolecular Fingerprints
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from a leading expert in the field!
Register Now! https://forms.gle/1GjeT2ryzsnh1K1Q6
Abstract:
The following talk will be dedicated to introducing the development in a novel approach to modus operandi of electrochemical biosensors. By implementing a real-time impedimetric monitoring under various electric field and combined with statistical data analysis tools we obtain full impedance characteristics constituting an explicit fingerprint of the macromolecular interactions [1,2]. This measurement methodology, multiparametric impedance discriminant analysis (MIDA), processes large amounts of generated impedimetric data and brings information on most effective measurement conditions (DC polarization, AC amplitude, frequency range, etc.). The proposed approach neglects some of affinity biosensors reproducibility issues, typically induced by non-specific adsorption and fouling.
