Lin Deng’s PhD Proposal Review

"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. […]

"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 […]

Yuexi Zhang’s PhD Proposal Review

"Human Body and Activity Analysis" Abstract: Human-related applications such as person detection, human pose estimations and human activity recognition, that always draw a lot of attentions in computer vision community. In this proposal, we discuss several related topics that we are interested in, and demonstrate how we improve the existing methods. The first problem we […]
