The Innovation Sprint for Women Engineers is a month long hackathon designed to inspire, mentor, and empower women in technology to develop creative, feasible, and socially impactful solutions addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the synergy of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Nanotechnology. The sprint will cultivate innovation, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and leadership among women engineers and students. Objectives - To promote innovation and sustainability awareness among women engineers. - To foster collaboration between AI and nanotech domains for practical SDG-aligned solutions. - To encourage women’s participation in STEM innovation through mentorship and networking. - To identify promising ideas for potential IEEE WIE publications, grants, or incubator follow-ups. Theme AI + Nanotech = Sustainable Futures Participants will ideate solutions under sub-themes such as: - Clean Water & Energy (SDG 6 & 7) - Health and Biosensing (SDG 3) - Sustainable Cities & Environments (SDG 11 & 13) - Circular Economy and Waste Reduction Expected Outcomes - Innovation recognition: Top projects highlighted on IEEE Nanotechnology platforms. - Community engagement: Strengthened cross-disciplinary collaboration. - Talent pipeline: Encouraging women’s visibility in STEM innovation. - Sustainability impact: Solutions aligned with real-world SDG metrics. Recognition & Certificates - Top 3 Winners will receive special IEEE Nanotechnology x Young Professionals Innovation Sprint Acknowledgemen and Certifcates Co-sponsored by: North Jersey Nano Technology Council Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/541140

Now Rescheduled - Reservations Re-opened At AT&T Labs 200 S Laurel Ave Middletown New Jersey [] Vineet Kumar: Global Banking Infrastructures: FX Trading Careers in Technology Live Event Abstract: This presentation analyzes the foreign exchange (FX) market—the world’s largest and most liquid financial market, and how modern banking systems process and settle FX trades securely at scale. It outlines the end-to-end FX trade lifecycle. A key focus is mitigating Herstatt risk via bilateral and multilateral netting solutions such as CLSNet. The presentation compares real-time retail payment infrastructures like India’s UPI and the U.S. Zelle network to illustrate evolving customer-facing rails. It further explores modernization via cloud native architectures, Distributed Ledger Technology, AI-driven fraud detection, cybersecurity by design, and zero data loss resilient post-trade systems. Vineet Kumar Bio: Over 20 years of leadership in enterprise architecture, large-scale cloud migrations (with deep specialization in AWS), fintech FX settlement systems, blockchain/DLT integration, and cybersecurity across CLS Group and prior institutions. I am an IEEE Senior Member and an active member of several professional bodies, including ISC2, SEFM, and ACM. I currently serve as Vice Chair of the IEEE Consultants Network Affinity Group in the IEEE New Jersey Coast Section. I actively volunteer on multiple platforms, including BIG, contributing to multidimensional topics such as cybersecurity solutions, cloud architectures, emerging technologies, and the impact of fintech. On the PushFar platform, I mentor professionals in AI, cloud, blockchain, and security. I have extensive domain experience in areas such as fintech fraud detection leveraging AI and LLMs, zero-trust architectures and confidential computing, high-throughput APIs, and broader fintech solutions.
