Thursday, March 3 & Friday, March 4, 2022 | 10:00am – 2:00pm ET on each day
Please use this link to register for the virtual workshop on Climate Implications of Computing & Communications.
The demand for computing and wireless communications technologies is expected to increase significantly, resulting in a considerable impact on the planet. The MIT Climate and Sustainability Consortium, MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, and MIT Schwarzman College of Computing are hosting a workshop to explore initiatives that could lower the climate impacts of the computing and communications (e.g. telecommunications) sectors. This virtual two-day event will feature discussions and opportunities for collaboration with MIT faculty and industry leaders during multiple sessions.
Topics will include:
- Algorithms and custom hardware for efficient computing
- Wireless, networked, and distributed systems
- Energy-efficient sources and delivery systems
- Materials and hardware for new architectures
Confirmed speakers include:
- Takashi Ando, Principal Research Staff Member, IBM Research
- Ahmad Bahai, Chief Technology Officer, Texas Instruments
- Bill Dally, Chief Scientist and Senior Vice President of Research, NVIDIA
- Jeff Dean, Senior Vice President, Google Research and Google Health
- Dario Gil, Senior Vice President and Director of Research, IBM
- Evgeni Gousev, Senior Director, Qualcomm
- Helen Greiner, CEO, Tertill; Co-Founder, iRobot
- Heidi Hemmer, Senior Vice President of Engineering, Verizon
