Featured Speakers: Vijay Madisetti, Fellow IEEE, AIIA and Xiao Huang, Ph.D.,
Are Crypto and AI a Sustainable Future?
In current practice, Crypto Mining and Artificial Intelligence algorithms are very power hungry.
We just turned on two new reactors at Plant Vogle and 1 Plant Vogle Reactor (1.2 MW) can serve 1.2 million households OR about 6 Data Centers. As our power bills keep rising, and average humans look for ways to lower their energy consumption, will Crypto and AI gobble-up the gains we are making? Fortunately, researchers are working on new, energy-efficient algorithms. Join us to learn why the current practice is so very hungry and about new algorithms that can provide the same, or better, computation at a fraction of the power usage.
More About Our Speakers:

Following this, he went to the University of California at Berkeley where he earned a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences in 1989.
Dr. Madisetti joined the ECE faculty at Georgia Tech in 1989. He leads several research and educational programs at Georgia Tech in the area of digital signal processing, embedded computing systems, chip design, wireless and telecom systems, and systems engineering. He has authored or edited several books, including VLSI Digital Signal Processors (1995) and the Digital Signal Processing Handbook (Second Edition, 2010). He is also a frequent consultant to the industry.
Dr. Madisetti is a Fellow of the IEEE and was awarded the 2006 Frederick Emmons Terman Medal by the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) and HP Corporations for his contributions to electrical engineering.

More information coming soon.
The Campus Food Security Summit aims to shed light on the often-silent problem of food insecurity on college campuses by bringing together groups, organizations, and individuals who are working in and around Atlanta. It will serve as a platform to share lived experiences, ongoing campus activities and research, and reach out into the greater community.
We hope that by providing this platform for constructive collaboration we can pull together our collective experience and resources. There are many passionate people already working on food insecurity, and a critical missing component is collaboration. The event will emphasize the importance of collective action and empower individuals to make a difference in the university setting.
*Lunch will be provided*

A special Jazz Hands Science Comedy show where we kill cancer with comedy
Presenting Sponsor
A special thank you to Wild Heaven Beer! They are generously providing the space for this event.
Oct 24, 2024
7:30-9:30pm, doors 7:00pm
Wild Heaven Beer: West End Brewery & Gardens, 1010 White St SW, Atlanta, GA 30310
In honor of survivors everywhere, including two Science for Georgia stand-up comedians, we are hosting a special edition of Jazz Hands to support a very special cause: Cancer Research.
Half of the show’s proceeds will be donated to Emory Winship Cancer Center – where our two comedians were treated.
Every year we train a cohort of scientists, technologists, engineers, mathematicians, physicians (anyone STEM-adjacent) in the art of stand-up comedy. The result? A live stand-up show where normal science & technology professionals tell jokes about their work and studies.
Laugh! Maybe learn something! Kill cancer with comedy!
