Call for PapersVenue: SingaporeImportant DatesSubmission Deadline: January 20, 2025Notification Deadline: February 10, 2025Registration Deadline: February 20, 2025Link: https://www.icgea.org/index.htmlSubmitted papers will be reviewed by Technical Program Committee and sub-reviewers. All accepted (Registered & Presented) papers of ICGEA 2025 will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore, indexed by EI Compendex & Scopus, etc. Energy is inarguably one of the most pressing global issues faced by humanity in this century, and a reliable and sustainable energy system is crucial to achieve a more sustainable future. The world's energy consumption is expected to nearly double by 2050, with most of the growth happened in countries outside of the OECD. Sustainable development requires consistent access to clean, affordable energy to support economic activity, improve national development, and improve human wellbeing. In addition, there is a strong link between the energy sector and global climate change due to the impact of CO2 arising from burning the fossil fuels. Study shows that carbon emissions hit the peak in 2018, mainly from the carbon-rich fossil fuels that generated nearly 85% of the world’s energy. Taking the above-mentioned as a backdrop, energy is certainly a complex technology involving multidisciplinary research, development, demonstration and deployment in energy systems, grid systems and applications, especially in the energy transition era.In anticipation, the combination of rising populations and living standards of human society in the next 50 years will demand for the development of massively scaled sustainable energy and low-carbon electricity generation solutions with an objective of battling the climate change. These challenges, albeit an unparalleled threat to the business-as-usual, also represent a remarkable opportunity for research, innovation, and green growth.With the success of the previous 8 year, ICGEA came to its 9th edition in 2025. It is proud to announce that 2025 The 9th International Conference on Green Energy and Applications will be held during March 7-9, 2025 in Singapore, which is sponsored by Singapore Institute of Electronics.

Apr 18, 2024 at 2:55 PM
Deadline 28 April 2024Job DescriptionWhat we offerA monthly stipend ranging between 6194 and 6808 Swiss Francs per month (net of tax).Coverage by CERN's comprehensive health scheme (for yourself, your spouse and children), and membership of the CERN Pension Fund.Depending on your individual circumstances: installation grant; family, child and infant allowances; payment of travel expenses at the beginning and end of contract.30 days of paid leave per year.On-the-job and formal training at CERN as well as in-house language courses for English and/or French. Your responsibilitiesThe objective of the project is the introduction of novel selections in the ATLAS trigger to enhance selecting events in challenging parts of the parameter space, including exotic signatures and rare Standard Model processes, and to improve the robustness of the muon trigger. Together with NexGen doctoral students, the selected candidate will work on either trigger menu development or design new algorithms for the Level-0 Muon trigger.In the trigger menu activity area, she or he will develop the necessary tools to advance studies of the HL-LHC trigger menu. The selected candidate will more specifically develop simulation of trigger selections and tools for the estimation of trigger rates using existing data as well as Monte Carlo simulations generated in HL-LHC conditions. She or he will work on identification of poorly covered topologies and develop new algorithms (including with use of ML/AI) and new triggering approaches in order to specifically target those, ensuring that they fit into the trigger menu constraints in terms of both processing resources and allocated rate.In the Level-0 Muon activity area, the selected candidate will develop new algorithms to improve the robustness of the Level-0 Muon trigger against changing detector conditions and to enhance triggering on challenging signatures such as exotic long-lived particles. She or he will identify detector scenarios and challenging trigger signatures and develop new algorithms to target them using tools such as simulations. New algorithms include the use of AI/ML. The selected candidate will work in close collaboration with ATLAS trigger experts and the TDAQ upgrade community. Up to three positions will be filled as part of the Next Generation Trigger program (https://cern.ch/nextgen-proposal).Your profileSkills and/or knowledgeRequired skills:Strong background in collider physicsStrong software skillsExcellent communication and presentation skillsExcellent knowledge of oral and written englishExperience or desire to supervise studentsWould be an asset:Experience in AI/MLExperience with trigger systemsTrigger menu developmentsExperience with FPGAs and digital electronicsEligibility criteria:You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
