PhD Dissertation Defense: Reconfigurable and Intelligent Wireless Charging Surfaces Kai Li Location: 232 ISEC Abstract: Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) have received significant attention for theirpotential to transform the environments by intelligently reconfiguring the surfaces, infrastructures,and engineering the electrical and magnetic fields. On the other hand, while wireless power transfer has advanced, there has been limited […]
PhD Dissertation Defense: Intrabody Communication for Real-Time Monitoring of Implanted Medical Devices based on Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers Flavius Pop Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Nowadays when we think about medical devices and patient monitoring, we can easily imagine ourselves laying down in a hospital bad, wires coming out of everywhere, and being looked after by […]
PhD Proposal Review: Interpretable Machine Learning for Affective Neuroscience and Psychophysiology Zulqarnain Qayyum Khan Location: Zoom Link Abstract: In this thesis, we leverage Machine Learning to investigate questions of interest in affective psychophysiology and neuroscience . We argue for and apply appropriate existing methods where possible and analyze the results they provide. Where existing methods […]
PhD Proposal Review: Robust Sparsified Deep Learning Tong Jian Location: Zoom Link (ID: 75807284369, Passcode: 463BXOZk) Abstract: In this thesis, we investigate and address robustness concerns about DNN-based real-life applications on resource constrained systems, environment adaptation, and adversarial learning, respectively. We propose a means of compressing a Radio Frequency (RF) deep neural network architecture through […]
PhD Dissertation Defense: Supervisory Control for Humanoid Robots Through Virtual Reality Interfaces Murphy Wonsick Location: ISEC 655 Abstract: Recent advancements in robotics have allowed robots to become capable enough to be used in a wide variety of domains that are dangerous for humans to operate in, such as disaster relief operations, exploration of extraterrestrial planets, […]
PhD Dissertation Defense: Content-Aware AI-Driven Design Assistance Frameworks for Graphic Design Layouts Sara Banian Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Designing user interfaces (UIs) for mobile interaction is widespread but still challenging. It is important for the overall user satisfaction and application success. During the design process, designers express their requirements through images describing the UI’s layout, […]
