Abstract
Digital forensics has evolved from a law enforcement effort to embrace
several other important aspects of our day to day computing. These subjects
include banking and finances, networking, health industry, entertainment and
so on.... In a fast-paced scenario, the availability of cloud computing,
smartphones, wearable devices and ubiquitous internet access has created a
global computing scenario. Hence one way to secure the computing environment
is by analysis of the network traffic. The intrusion protection of the enterprise
computing environment can be achieved by analyzing and parsing the network
packets. The trick is to do it fast, efficiently and effectively.
About the Speaker
Dhruv Pandya is a recent graduate with Masters in Computer Science and
a Bachelors of Engineering in Computer Engineering. He believes learning is a
perennial process. His master's thesis included a research contribution for
SoCal High technology task force. As a computer engineer and a budding
computer scientist, Dhruv has a strong background in Information Security and
Digital Forensics, Computer Architecture, Assembly 8086, Analysis of
Algorithms. He graduated in December 2017 and currently looking for
employment opportunities while he volunteers at Turning Point Foundation in
Ventura.

IEEE Buenaventura Senior Member Elevation Clinic
Hub101 in Westlake Village
9 AM to 11 AM
By appointment only.
Contact Reza Firoozabadi <reza.firoozabadi.us@ieee.org>
by March 8.
IEEE Senior Member is the highest grade for which IEEE
members can apply. The IEEE Buenaventura Section has an efficient process to
help you become a senior member. To be eligible, members must have an active
2018 membership, be engineers, scientists, educators, technical executives,
or originators in IEEE-designated fields, have experience reflecting
professional maturity, have been in professional practice for at least ten
years (with some credit for certain degrees), and show significant
performance over a period of at least five of their years in professional
practice.
The IEEE Buenaventura Section will be holding a Senior
Member Elevation Clinic on March 17 to help as many IEEE members become
senior members. Our local IEEE Buenaventura Section has created a process
that is smooth and efficient to enable someone to be considered for senior member
level. It nominates the applicants for grade elevation, aligns them with two
senior members in their area of expertise, and orchestrates 20-minute
interviews on March 17. This event is run by volunteers from the Buenaventura
Section. There is some homework to be done by the interested members prior to
the event and interviews are set by appointment. Anyone interested should contact Reza Firoozabadi by
March 8 at the latest.

Micro/Nano-Electro-Mechanical Systems (M/NEMS) Resonators: Fundamentals and
Applications
Pizza and Networking: 6:30 PM
Presentation: 7:00 PM
Speaker: Logan Sorenson
Free admission. Register at www.ieee-bv.org/meet/2018-03-edcas
Abstract
Since the invention of the integrated circuit, the path followed by the
semiconductor industry has led to unprecedented advances in technology and
computation through miniaturization and integration of highly complex
circuits into single chips. More recently, this trend toward extreme
miniaturization characterized by Moore's Law has expanded beyond traditional
computing devices into the realm of integrating more features and
capabilities on a single chip (More-than-Moore/MtM). For example, in some
emerging application areas, including the Internet-of-Things (IoT) and
Industry 4.0, the barrier between the cyber and the physical worlds is
heavily eroded. Sensor systems, which convert physical quantities into their
digital counterparts, and especially those which can be integrated on chip in
the MtM paradigm, are highly sought after as the gateway between worlds. This
talk will review the fundamentals of Micro and Nano-Electro-Mechanical
Systems (M/NEMS), in which the traditional microfabrication technologies
developed by the semiconductor industry are adopted and adapted to create
resonant structures which are free to mechanically vibrate on chip. M/NEMS
resonators have been used in a variety of different ways to implement various
sensor systems on chip, including temperature and pressure sensors, timing
elements, inertial sensors including accelerometers, gyroscopes and
magnetometers, and gas and chemical sensors, among other physical quantities
of interest. These sensors have already widely proliferated into everyday
consumer products, including automobiles, smartphones, activity trackers, and
the like. The talk will conclude by highlighting some emerging high
performance M/NEMS-based sensors and the associated challenges.

Sweden, at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). He received the Ph.D.
degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a focus in
Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) inertial sensors and timing devices
from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, in 2013 and subsequently
joined HRL Laboratories. His research interests are in the areas of design,
modeling, simulation, fabrication, and evaluation of resonant M/NEMS
materials and devices, precision oscillators, inertial sensors, gravimetric,
chemical and temperature sensors, energy dissipation, noise, phononic
crystals, and integration of M/NEMS with semiconductor and atomic devices.
Dr. Sorenson was a recipient of a Camras and Grainger scholarship at IIT and
the 2005 IEC Everitt Award of Excellence. He also earned the IIT Graduate
Outstanding Academic Achievement Award, and, in 2007, the prestigious Georgia
Tech Institute Fellowship. He is the recipient of the inaugural Outstanding
Oral Paper Award at the 2013 IEEE MEMS conference in Taipei, Taiwan, and

Pricing and Reimbursement for Innovative Medical Products
Dinner (optional): Available at 6:00 PM for $12,
payable at the door.
Presentation (free): 7:00 PM
Speaker: Neelima Firth
Free admission to presentation.
Abstract
A key metric of success for any business is ensuring that you get paid and
that you are paid adequately for your product or services. Every company who
is developing a new product has 3 key business questions to answer
∙ Who will buy and pay for the product?
∙ How much are they willing to pay?
∙ How does the company get paid?
∙ How do we understand the business drivers for consumers and
payors when they are not the same community?
The increase in healthcare costs has a major impact on the
US and its politics and the development of an effective reimbursement
strategy is becoming increasingly important for investors to see in early
stage companies. It is not enough just to get FDA approval, you must
understand pricing and reimbursement and the decision-making processes that
enable market access. The new models of healthcare reimbursement are making the
systems increasingly complex. The understanding and application healthcare
reimbursement is a key driver for the commercial strategy and the ultimate
success of a product and a company. Neelima will go through reimbursement and
pricing for drugs and medical devices.
