PhD Dissertation Defense: Correlation Discovery for Multi-view and Multi-label Learning Lichen Wang Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Correlation indicates the interactions or connections across different instances. It exists in a wide range of real-world applications such as social network, scene understanding, and time-series data analysis. Correlation provides the unique and informative knowledge to reveal the connections […]
MS Thesis Defense: A soft-switching non-inverting buck-boost converter Anran Wei Location: Zoom Link Abstract: There are numerous applications in which DC-DC converters with wide range of voltage gain are required. Non-inverting buck-boost converter is a classical topology that can provide wide range of voltage conversion and bidirectional power transfer; thus, it is frequently used in […]
University Distinguished Professor Vincent Harris is presenting "Rare Earth Element-Based Magnets: Science, Supply and Sustainability in 2021 and Beyond" as part of the Jefferson Science Fellowship Program of the National Academies of Sciences and Engineering. Registration is required in advance of the lecture: Register here Rare earth elements (REEs) and their supply chain have become […]
PhD Dissertation Defense: Modular Plug-and-Play Photovoltaic Subpanel System Yue Zheng Location: Zoom Link Abstract: This thesis designs, builds and tests plug-and-play photovoltaic (PV) panels. A prototype modular PV system is built consisting of a dozen small PV units that can slide in and out of a mechanical frame without impacting other units. Each unit contains […]

Faculty Seminar: Is temporal interference the key to noninvasive deep brain stimulation? Answers from simulation studies in mice and humans. Sumientra Rampersad Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Transcranial current stimulation (tCS) has been used for two decades to noninvasively investigate and influence brain function in both healthy volunteers and clinical populations. While many positive effects have […]
PhD Proposal Review: Towards Robust and Secure Deep Learning Models and Beyond Siyue Wang Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Modern science and technology witness the breakthroughs made by deep learning during the past decades. Fueled by rapid improvements of computational resources, learning algorithms, and massive amount of data, deep neural networks (DNNs) have played a dominant […]
MS Thesis Defense titled DeepSense: Fast Wideband Spectrum Sensing Through Real-Time In-the-Loop Deep Learning Daniel Uvaydov Location: Microsoft Teams Abstract: Spectrum sharing will be a key technology to tackle spectrum scarcity in the sub-6 GHz bands. To fairly access the shared bandwidth, wireless users will necessarily need to quickly sense large portions of spectrum and […]
PhD Dissertation Defense: High-performance Translation Layers for Cloud Immutable Storage Mohammad Hossein Hajkazemi Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Most storage interfaces support in-place updates: blocks can be rewritten, files can be modified at byte granularity, fields may be updated in database table rows. Yet internally these layers often rely on out-of-place (immutable) writes. In some cases, […]
PhD Dissertation Defense: Visual Learning with Limited Supervision Kunpeng Li Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Deep learning models have achieved remarkable success in many computer vision tasks. However, they typically rely on large amounts of carefully labeled training data whose annotating process is usually expensive, time-consuming and even infeasible when considering the task complexity and scarcity […]
