"Partitioning Data Across Multiple, Network Connected FPGAs with High Bandwidth Memory to Accelerate Non-streaming Applications" Abstract: Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are increasingly used in cloud computing to increase the run time of various applications. Flexibility, efficiency and lower power enable FPGAs to be important components in modern data centers. Applications such as Secure Function Evaluation […]

"On-chip and multiplexed metasurfaces for light manipulation" Abstract: Metasurfaces, which consist of two-dimensional subwavelength nanostructures that can locally manipulate the proprieties of light including amplitude, phase, and polarization, provide an unprecedented means to control optical waves in a prescribed manner. Different functionalities, such as structured light, holograms, and flat lenses, have been realized by metasurfaces. […]

The NSF sponsored Nano Systems Innovation (NanoSI) workshop will conduct a deep dive into infrastructure requirements to enable a unique national infrastructure for piezoelectric and hetero-integrated nano systems. The virtual workshop will bring together researchers, government, industry and foundry partners to identify the emerging needs for adaptable infrastructure that can address national research priorities in […]

"Robust Data-Driven Control" Abstract: During the last two decades, data-driven control (DDC) has attracted growing attention in the control community. Unlike model-based control (MBC), which first uses the collected data to identify the system, then designs the controller according to the certainty equivalence principle, DDC skips the system identification (SYSID) step and leads to a […]
