Minutes:

Attendees: David L.(chair), Carl T., Nathan B., Thomas B., Vardan G., Graham H.

AI Hire

• Hiring committee had first meeting last week
• A couple of potential candidates identified
• Process is at least moving

DOE FOA

• Significant progress (thanks largely to Thomas (and Megan for occupying Declan))
• Finishing up final draft which will may be done tomorrow COB
• Hope to submit on Friday

SRO

• Last week's YR meeting:
  • Markus presented plan to match LHCb which does all data processing online
  • Someone in EIC has done a calculation that indicates saving all data is feasible
    • Not 100% clear how since detector is not fully designed yet
    • Unlikely no one will ever ask for more data so designing to edge of ability seems unwise
• EIC postdoc Ivica Fiscic
  • Originally discussed casually between Graham and Rik ~18 months ago
  • Recently became (re)aware of arrangement to have 50% of an MIT postdoc work on SRO related EIC activities
  • David and Doug H. met with Ivica and suggested he work on EIC simulation and AI modeling of trigger with eventual goal of implementing in FPGA.
