IEEE UFFC Seattle Tech Talk – A 3D printed HIFU transducer for robotic surgery
The Seattle Chapter of the IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society (UFFC-S) aims to provide UFFC-S members with opportunities for professional and personal growth as well as network with the local, vibrant UFFC community. Dr. Jack Stevenson, PhD will be our guest speaker. Jack specialises in novel piezoelectric material characterisation techniques for high-power applications as well development of miniaturised devices and additive manufacturing. He is a Product Designer at Nami Surgical (Glasgow, Scotland) where he applies his expertise to the electrical and mechanical design of miniaturised ultrasonic surgical devices. Prior to joining Nami Surgical, Jack completed his PhD and post-doctoral research at the University of Glasgow which involved the design and development of focused ultrasound devices for robotic delivery. Dr. Stevenson will present on "A 3D printed HIFU transducer for robotic surgery." This meeting will be virtual only.

High Performance Inferencing for LLMs
[] Inferencing has become ubiquitous across cloud, regional, edge, and device environments, powering a wide spectrum of AI use cases spanning vision, language, and traditional machine learning applications. In recent years, Large Language Models (LLMs), initially developed for natural language tasks, have expanded to multimodal applications including vision speech, reasoning and planning each demanding distinct service-level objectives (SLOs). Achieving high-performance inferencing for such diverse workloads requires both model-level and system-level optimizations. This talk focuses on system-level optimization techniques that maximize token throughput , achieve user experience metrics and inference service-provider efficiency. We review several recent innovations including KV caching, Paged/Flash/Radix Attention, Speculative Decoding, P/D Disaggregation, KV Routing and Parallelism, and explain how these mechanisms enhance performance by reducing latency, memory footprint, and compute overhead. These techniques are implemented in leading open-source inference frameworks such as vLLM, SGLang, Hugging Face TGI, and NVIDIA’s TensorRT-llm, which form the backbone of large-scale public and private LLM serving platforms. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of the challenges in delivering scalable, low-latency LLM inference, and of the architectural and algorithmic innovations driving next-generation high-performance inference systems.
