Location: ISEC 136 Next Generation of Smart Wireless World: from High Data-Rate Mm-wave Directional Arrays to Reliable and Secured IoT Connectivity for 5G and Beyond Abstract: The next generation of smart wireless world requires massive and reliable connectivity as well as high datarate communication and sensing. Consequently, the immediate response of the wireless world is […]
Dr. Xin Zhang, Professor, Boston University Location: 138 ISEC Metamaterials have been intensively studied and applied to a broad range of practical applications ranging from wireless communications to magnetic resonance imaging. Photonic metamaterials consisting of subwavelength “meta-atoms” have received enormous interest due to their extraordinary and unprecedented optical properties. Specifically, the effective permittivity and permeability […]
Location: ISEC 138 Causality: From Learning to Generative Models Abstract: Causal inference is fundamental for multiple disciplines ranging from medical research to engineering, statistics, and economics. It is also central in machine learning and is now becoming a core component of artificial intelligence research. Although causal inference has been studied for a long time in […]
Location: ISEC 138 Multidimensional Signal Processing Circuits for Low-SWaP Multi-Beam Arrays Abstract: In this talk, array processing circuits that exploit the computing paradigm of approximate computing are explored. Low-size, -weight, and -power consumption (SWaP) algorithms and circuits are proposed to achieve thousands of fully-digital beams for emerging applications. The proposed low-SWaP multibeam digital beamformers use […]

Location: ISEC 136 Rethinking Operating System and Hardware Abstractions for Good and Evil Abstract: Current hardware and operating system abstractions were conceived at a time when we had minimal security threats, scarce compute and memory resources and limited numbers of users. These assumptions are not true today. On one hand, attacks such as Spectre and […]

Philip Krein, Executive Dean, Zhejiang University/University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Institute Overview: Come learn about the many open faculty positions at a new campus in China (bring resumes!). The Zhejiang University/University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Institute (ZJUI) is a joint engineering college on the new Zhejiang University (ZJU) International Campus in Haining, China, about 120 […]
Location: ISEC 138 Learning with Distributed Systems: Adversary-Resilience and Neural Networks Abstract: In this talk, Su will first talk about how to secure Federated Learning (FL) against adversarial faults. FL is a new distributed learning paradigm proposed by Google. The goal of FL is to enable the cloud (i.e., the learner) to train a model […]
Location: Dana 442 Seminar Title: A More Resilient Power Grid with Faster-Than-Real-Time Stability Abstract: Since the northeast blackout of 1965, cascading blackouts have continued to happen on power grids in the North America and other countries. For a grid operator, it is vitally important to be aware of real-time stability and reliability margin for the […]
