138 ISEC High-Q Strong Coupling Capacitive-Gap Transduced RF Micromechanical Resonators Abstract: This talk presents a hierarchical, intuitive, and technology agnostic procedure for designing RF channel-select filters, followed by an actual demonstration that consists of 96 mechanically coupled capacitive-gap-transduced polysilicon disk resonators, centered at 224MHz with only 0.1% (9kHz) bandwidth, all while attaining 2.7dB insertion loss […]

Location: ISEC 140 Persistent Fault Attacks in Practice Abstract: Persistent fault analysis (PFA) was proposed at CHES 2018 as a novel fault analysis technique. It was shown to completely defeat standard redundancy based countermeasure against fault analysis. The original PFA was demonstrated with rowhammer-based fault injections. However whether such an analysis can be applied to […]

Location: ISEC 136 It’s a bit of a stretch: selective, flexible mechanical sensors towards VR, healthcare, and robotics applications Abstract: In this talk, Kris Dorsey will discuss work related to mechanically “programming” soft sensors to respond to a particular mechanical deformation. Advances in 3D-printing, soft polymer fabrication, and other rapid fabrication processes have made the […]

Location: ISEC 138 Ensuring Hardware Cybersecurity from a Cross-Layer Perspective Abstract: The rapid development of the semiconductor industry has significantly increased the number, complexity, and applicability of commercial electronics over the past few decades. As a result, the security and assurance of hardware are playing a critical role in the cyberscape of modern society, such […]

BU's Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers and the BU’s National Society of Black Engineers are co-hosting this upcoming Spring: Networking at Night 2020. Recruiters, that include those from Northeastern and students from various industry partners, graduate schools, and research groups, will come together for an encouraging and informative evening for our membership. The event is […]

The webinar will feature a talk by Program Director Masoud Salehi, who will present information on the Electrical and Computer Engineering program (ECE) at Northeastern University. Located in the booming technology, medical, and research hub of Boston, Northeastern 's Department of ECE provides excellent research and learning opportunities for its students and alumni. The ECE […]

Location: ISEC 138 Title: Learning Low-complexity Models from the Data – Geometry, Optimization, and Applications Abstract: Today we are collecting a massive amount of data in forms of images and videos, that we want to learn from the data themselves to extract useful information and to make predictions. The data are high-dimensional, but often possess […]

ISEC 138 Coded Computing for Next-Generation Information Processing Systems Abstract: Modern networks are designed to facilitate information processing in large-scale, highly distributed environments that connect humans with smart machines. Information collected in such networks is often privacy-sensitive, such as healthcare records, financial transactions, or geolocation data. Moreover, these networks often need to operate in unknown […]

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 […]
