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:

  • 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
