ECEGSS represents the common interests of the graduate students enrolled in ECE at U of T. Each year we hold a number of social events open to the entire membership
Welcome to the Industry Exposure Program page of the ECEGSS at University of Toronto.
Through the industry exposure series, we facilitate a platform for students and industries to engage with each other in a mutually beneficial manner.
TechTalk Series
Each event in the TechTalk series consists of two parts,
Technical talk for all the students
The first part consists of a technical talk addressing an audience in electrical and computer engineering. This part of the event will have technical details of industry solutions. This will be educational for attendees even if they are not looking for job opportunities.
Hiring information for prospective applicants.
The second part of the talk focuses on opportunities for the students interested in internships/jobs. In this part, company representatives can provide a company overview, job prospects, available employee positions, etc. Students can interact with engineers and hiring officers in a smaller setting at the end of the event.

We are excited to invite all of you to attend the fourth TECHNICAL TALK, TECH-TALK, in the INDUSTRY EXPOSURE SERIES. We are hosting this event with TendemLaunchhttps://www.tandemlaunch.com/en/ and LATYShttps://www.latys.ca/ In this event, speakers from LATYS will share their experience with TandemLaunch. The speakers from TandemLaunch will also talk about its program near the end of the event. We will be giving out one of Amazon(Canada) or UberEats(Canada) GIFT-CARDS (CAD 15 each) to the attending graduate students of the ECE department of the University of Toronto who register and attend the event for more than 30 minutes. Please find more information about the event below. =================================================== EVENT INFORMATION ————————————————— DATE : Thursday, Jul 8, 2021 TIME : 11 AM – 12 PM REG. LINK: https://utoronto.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwtc–srzsuGNGKKlRNzya97SnpTTssY-3S =================================================== TITLE: How To Be An Entrepreneur? TandemLaunch =================================================== ABSTRACT: ————————————————— TandemLaunch is a unique startup foundry and seed fund based in Montreal. Through investing in highly qualified people, TandemLaunch works with tech entrepreneurs to build companies around acquired university technologies. Learn about TandemLaunch through the experience of one of our successful ventures: Artmiz Golkaramnay & Gursimran Singh Sethi, the co-founders of LATYS. LATYS is leveraging groundbreaking research in the area of reconfigurable metasurfaces to create the world’s first non-reciprocal wireless relay system that breaks the current rules of antenna design. LATYS proprietary technology is built using non-resonant metasurfaces that allow us to build ultra-compact wireless relays that are dynamically reconfigurable and are inherently immune to interference, multipath fading, and noise. =================================================== SPEAKER BIO.: =================================================== ————————————————— ARTMIZ GOLKARAMNAY, Co-founder and Product Lead at LATYS ————————————————— Artmiz is the co-founder and product lead of LATYS, a Montreal based startup. She earned her BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Norwich University (Vermont, USA) and her MASc in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Concordia University (Montreal, Canada). Artmiz’ initial research had been focused in diverse areas of circuit design, cryptography, and mathematics. Her latest research was focused on improving 5G mmWave networks using Reinforcement Learning techniques. With her love for engineering and passion for the wireless communication industry, she has contributed to several professional organizations in different capacities. She served as the collegiate chapter president of Society of Women Engineers, chair of IEEE, and president of Tau Beta Pi. ————————————————— GURSIMRAN SINGH SETHI, Co-founder & Tech Lead at LATYS ————————————————— Gursimran is an antenna and Metamaterial design expert. He is currently the technical lead at LATYS which is focused on designing groundbreaking non-reciprocal metasurface antennas that will change the future of the wireless industry. Gursimran earned his BEng (Hons) degree from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and his MASc degree from the University of Toronto in 2019 where he developed state-of-the art low-profile reconfigurable antennas for Thales Alenia Space. His research has been focused on developing novel microwave and mm-wave antennas for Satellite, IoT, and 5G applications. He has held prestigious research and work positions at Princeton University and Apple and has been a recipient of multiple Canadian awards and international grants by the Antennas and Propagation Society of the IEEE. As an active member of the IEEE, Gursimran regularly contributes to academic conferences and journal articles pertaining to next generation reconfigurable antennas. He has also filed for two US patents for his work in the area of reconfigurable antennas. ————————————————— MADELEINE RAUTE, HR Advisor at TandemLaunch ————————————————— VALENTINE DENIS, HR Intern at TandemLaunch —————————————————

We are excited to invite all of you again to attend the third TECHNICAL TALK, TECH-TALK, in the INDUSTRY EXPOSURE SERIES. We are hosting this event with Cerebras, https://cerebras.net/ Information about INTERNSHIP & FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES at the company will follow the event. We will be giving out one of amazon(Canada) or UberEats(Canada) GIFT-CARDS (CAD 15 each) to the attending students who register and attend the event for more than 30 minutes. Please find more information about the event below. =================================================== EVENT INFORMATION ————————————————— DATE : Thursday, Jun 10, 2021 TIME : 11 AM – 12 PM REG. LINK : https://utoronto.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUpfuCopjMqG91xCU3cZByrcHqHfwCc0yP2 =================================================== TITLE: Cerebras Systems: A Systems Approach to Deep Learning =================================================== ABSTRACT: ————————————————— The rise of Machine Learning workloads has spurred new interest in specialized hardware architectures, which offer significant improvements in performance and power efficiency. However, a substantial challenge faced by these architectures is providing a highly productive software interface, which also unlocks the hardware’s full performance. In this talk, we will provide an overview of the software stack we’re developing at Cerebras to program the Wafer Scale Engine (WSE) 2. The WSE2 is the largest chip ever built, with 850,000 AI-optimized cores, and orders of magnitude more compute, memory, and interconnect bandwidth than single die offerings. We’ll focus on some of the challenging and interesting problems, which we’re solving to make the WSE2’s massive performance accessible and easy to use. We will also cover Machine Learning on the Wafer-Scale Engine. =================================================== SPEAKER BIO.: =================================================== KEVIN MURRAY ————————————————— Kevin E. Murray is a Member of Technical Staff at Cerebras Systems in Toronto. He received his PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Toronto in 2020. He was previously the lead developer of the Verilog to Routing (VTR) project, a visiting Research Assistant at Imperial College London, and has worked on digital design flows at Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). His research interests include Computer Aided Design (CAD) algorithms, and architecture for Machine Learning accelerators and FPGAs.
