June 29, 2022 | Scientific CCD Development at MIT Lincoln Laboratory (Christopher Leitz) The Advanced Imager Technology group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory designs and fabricates detectors and readout circuits for imaging applications in support of National Security and scientific exploration. The group has a long history of supplying silicon charge-coupled devices (CCDs) for the astronomy community, including detectors for the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), the Advanced CC Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) on Chandra, and the 1.3 gigapixel array for Pan-STARRS at the University of Hawaii. In this talk, we outline both our history in providing these devices for the scientific community and highlight future directions in CCD development – notably use of new detector materials to achieve broader optical response, new fabrication processes to enable lower power consumption, and development of new readout amplifiers for virtually nearly noise-free operation – for applications in X-ray astrophysics, optical astronomy, and particle physics. Dr. Christopher W. Leitz is an Assistant Leader of the Advanced Imager Technology Group. He is currently researching the use of germanium for short-wave infrared and X-ray band imaging applications, as well as developing new methods for fabrication of advanced imaging devices. | yes | |

Dec 14, 2022 | Machine Learning Applications (Henry Morris) Machine learning, a key technology of artificial intelligence, is being applied to a wide range of decisions across many industries and disciplines. This talk defines machine learning and then presents examples of its application to drive predictions in fields such as medicine, fashion, law, real estate, and human resources (employee hiring). The adoption of these applications is changing the workplace while also raising concerns of bias and fairness. Henry Morris, co-author of Augmented Intelligence: The Business Power of Human-Machine Collaboration, will address these points in his presentation. | yes | |
