Are you interested in quantum mechanics or cryptography?

Then check out CPI's next event on Feb 28th from 6:30pm to 8:00pm. Learn how quantum computers can create security risks and how we can mitigate them!

CPI's Michele Mosca and Sara Zafar Jafarzadeh discuss why it is important to act now, even though cryptographically-relevant quantum computers are not available.

This session seeks to share lessons learned regarding embedding EDII into grant applications. Dr. Trevor Charles will discuss his experience embedding EDI principles to his research group and in a recent NSERC grant application.

League of Legends (LOL) is the most popular, viewed game in Esports, peaking at 4.1 million concurrent viewers and 664,100,000 hours watched in 2021. A constant problem in Esports is that players do not perform to their expected potential when under stress (also known as choking). In the literature, training under stress is a well-known choking intervention that has worked in other domains (e.g., traditional sports and the military).

Abstract

Self-powered, flexible, and uncooled mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) detectors based on photothermoelectric (PTE) mechanism are promising in the next-generation wearable Internet of Things (IoT). The photovoltage of PTE detectors is controlled by the Seebeck coefficient and temperature difference under local or global illumination. Previous PTE detectors show a less outstanding performance enhancement, and rare papers report their potential applications.
