PhD Proposal Review: Ferroelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers for Intra-body and In-memory Sensing Applications Bernard Herrera Location: Teams Abstract: Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers (PMUTs) are Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) devices that have become an established technology in applications such as range-finding, fingerprint sensing and imaging due to their capability of ultrasonic transduction in a miniaturized footprint, […]

PhD Proposal Review: Automated Bayesian Network Exploration for Nuisance-Robust Inference Andac Demir Location: Zoom Link Abstract: A fundamental challenge in the analysis of physiological signals is learning useful features that are robust to nuisance factors e.g., inter-subject & inter-session variability, and achieve the highest nuisance-invariant classification performance. Towards resolving this problem, we introduce 2 frameworks: […]

PhD Dissertation Defense: Software-Defined Wireless Networking for 5G and Beyond: From Indoor Cells to Non-Terrestrial UAV Networks Lorenzo Bertizzolo Location: Microsoft Teams Abstract: While Software-defined Networking (SDN) is a consolidated and widely adopted concept in fixed infrastructure, its adoption to the wireless domain has been limited by some fundamental challenges. Unlike traditional fixed infrastructure, which […]
