Both measurement standards and documentary standards, are key enablers of the commercialization of emerging technologies. As quantum continues its accelerating delivery of real-world solutions, it is a key time for the development of standards to validate these technologies and to set performance and interoperability criteria.

In recognition of the importance and timeliness of quantum...

640. The Metre Convention – 150 years (and counting) of confidence in measurement

Applied Physics and Instrumentation / Physique appliquée et de l'instrumentation (DAPI / DPAI)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

It is impossible to find a physics specialty that does not rely on accurate measurements, and confidence in any single measurement is based on the International System of units, the SI, which defines all the fundamental and derived measurement quantities required for science and engineering in the 21st Century. In parallel, there is a legal framework for international metrology, the Metre...

646. Optical imaging and sensing for automotive safety and autonomy

Dr James Mihaychuk (Sony Semiconductor Solutions)

Applied Physics and Instrumentation / Physique appliquée et de l'instrumentation (DAPI / DPAI)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

This presentation will review current and emerging sensing modalities for automotive safety and autonomy. Two main silicon-based sensing technologies will be described: (1) High-dynamic-range (HDR, up to 140 dB) CMOS image sensors (CIS) and (2) Single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) arrays with >30 % photon detection efficiency (PDE).
Firstly, HDR CIS concepts will be reviewed including control...

534. Numerical Simulation of Wetland Groundwater Hydrodynamics Using a Three-Dimensional MODFLOW Model

Prof. Merrious Oviri Ofomola (DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY ABRAKA, NIGERIA)

Applied Physics and Instrumentation / Physique appliquée et de l'instrumentation (DAPI / DPAI)

Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

Wetlands are ecologically sensitive environments where groundwater plays a vital role in sustaining hydrological balance, water quality, and ecosystem functions. Characterizing groundwater flow in wetland aquifers is challenging due to heterogeneous lithology, fluctuating water levels, and variable hydraulic properties. This study investigates groundwater flow dynamics within a wetland system...
