Women in Sustainability Series 2026 – Navigating the Energy Landscape – a Power Electronics Engineer’s View in 2026: Denise Athaide
Energy solutions are driven by regional needs, changing regulations, and dynamic market forces. Power electronics is an enabling technology that plays a crucial role in providing impactful and sustainable solutions for these energy transitions. In Denise's current role, she wears many hats varying from power electronics engineer, technical project leader, and technology strategist. In this session, Denise will share what it means to navigate and contribute to today's evolving energy landscape through this lens. All are welcome! IEEE membership is not required.

May 20, 2026 -CIR & CIS: Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) Pipelines
CIR & CIS: Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) Pipelines
Presentation: Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) Pipelines Abstract: Large language models provide powerful capabilities for generating natural language responses, but systems built solely on generative models often suffer from hallucinations, outdated knowledge, and limited domain accuracy. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) addresses these challenges by combining modern information retrieval techniques with generative AI models. In a RAG system, relevant documents are retrieved from external knowledge sources at query time and provided to the model as contextual input, enabling responses grounded in verifiable information. This talk explains the architecture of RAG pipelines and walks through the stages involved in building them, including data collection, document processing, embedding generation, vector search, retrieval, and prompt construction. Implementation approaches and tooling in both the .NET and Python ecosystems will be discussed, along with considerations for data curation, web scraping, and responsible engineering practices when building AI systems. Attendees gain practical skills to build accurate, production-ready AI systems using Retrieval Augmented Generation and real-world tools.

Solid-State Transformers for AI Data Centers (MV to 800V DC)
Join the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) for an informal technical discussion with Dr. Bowen Yang on emerging power architectures for AI data centers. Dinner will be provided, along with time for networking with local engineers and professionals. As demand for AI computing continues to grow, data centers are exploring new approaches to power distribution—particularly the transition from medium-voltage (MV) systems to low-voltage DC (LVDC) buses such as 800V DC. Solid-state transformers (SSTs) are one of the technologies being considered to enable this shift. This session will be an open, high-level conversation rather than a formal presentation. Topics may include: - The role of SSTs in future data center power architectures - Considerations when moving from MV systems to 800V DC distribution - Reliability and controllability in power-electronics-based systems - Practical challenges, tradeoffs, and industry perspectives Attendees are encouraged to ask questions, share experiences, and engage in the discussion. Schedule 5:30 PM – Check-in, Chapter Business, and Networking 6:00 PM – Dinner Served 6:00–7:00 PM – Technical Discussion 7:00 PM – Adjourn Speaker(s): , Bowen Yang 1211 Avery St, Unit 101, Golden, Colorado, United States, 80403
