"RF Front-End Components based on Linear-Time-Variant Modulation of Piezoelectric MEMS Resonators" Abstract: Throughout the last decade, radio frequency (RF) components for over-the-air communication and sensing have been subject to sustained market pressure to adapt to the novel trends such as spectrum sharing, programmability, and low-power operation. When these features are required in chip-scale RF hardware, […]

"Theory and design of spatiotemporally-modulated metasurfaces for comprehensive control of light" Abstract: Photonic metasurfaces are key platforms for manipulating almost all properties of light such as amplitude, phase, polarization, wave vector, pulse shape, and orbital angular momentum in a sub-wavelength dimension. They are capable of providing unprecedented modulation of wavefront through imparting spatial or temporal […]

Location: ISEC 332 "Towards Reliable, High Capacity mmWave Wireless LANs for Mobile Devices" Abstract: The IEEE 802.11ad standard, with its 14 GHz of unlicensed spectrum around 60 GHz, is touted as one of the key technologies for building the next generation of WLANs that will enable high throughput demanding mobile applications. However, there have been serious […]

"Development of Anomaly Detection and Characterization Algorithms Using Wideband Radar Image Processing for Security Applications" Abstract: Detection and characterization of suspicious body-worn objects is necessary for safe and effective personnel screening. In airports, developing a precise system that can distinguish threats and explosives from objects like money belt can reduce the pat-down significantly while maintaining […]

"AlN/AlScN based Micro Acoustic Metamaterials for Radio Frequency Applications of the Next Generations" Abstract: In the last two decades‚ micro-acoustic resonators (μARs) have played a key role in integrated 1G-to-4G radios‚ providing the technological means to achieve compact radio frequency (RF) filters with low loss and moderate fractional bandwidths (BW<4%). More specifically‚ Aluminum Nitride (AlN) […]

"Towards accurate and efficient edge computing via multi-task learning " Abstract: AI-powered applications increasingly adopt Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) for solving many prediction tasks, leading to more than one DNNs running on resource-constrained devices. Supporting many models simultaneously on a device is challenging due to the linearly increased computation, energy, and storage costs. An effective […]

Please come to the Curry Student Center indoor quad and pit on Friday, December 2nd to see Northeastern’s First-Year Engineering Students’ inventive projects, games, and exhibits. Students will showcase original board games, interactive projects geared to teach children sustainability concepts, and prolific prototypes to help solve a wide range of problems. Each project applies the […]

Abstract: State estimation is a critical application in energy management systems. Due to the increased penetration of inverter-based resources, installed advanced infrastructure at all voltage levels, and unconventional loads like electric vehicle charging stations, a three-phase state estimator formulation is essential. The first issue is the convoluted formulation and modeling techniques that are required in […]

"Inference from Brain Imaging: Incorporating Domain Knowledge and Latent Space Modeling" Abstract: Brain imaging can probe the anatomy (structural) of our brain, or its function (functional). A particular imaging modality (unimodal) generally provides only a particular insight into human health. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), though still in its infancy as a brain imaging modality, is […]
