MS Thesis Defense: Modulations to Exploit the THz Band Duschia Bodet Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Terahertz (THz)-band (0.1-10 THz) communication has been envisioned as a key technology to enable wireless Terabit-per-second (Tbps) links. At THz frequencies, the path-loss is governed by the spreading loss and the molecular absorption loss. The latter also determines the available […]

PhD Dissertation Defense: Low Power Designs using Approximate Computing and Emerging Memories at Nanoscales Linbin Chen Location: Zoom Link Abstract: A power efficient integrated circuit design is essential for mobile and embedded computer systems. This dissertation proposes several novel low power designs using approximate computing and emerging memories for computers with arithmetic circuits and large […]

PhD Dissertation Defense: Physical Layer Security in Multi-User Wireless Networks: Impact of Interference and Artificial Noise on Large-Scale Analysis Seyedmehdi Sadeghzadeh Location: Zoom Link Abstract: In this thesis, we study the physical layer security in downlink multi-user wireless networks. Traditionally, security has been addressed by cryptography at the higher layers of the communication stack. Security […]
