ECE Distinguished Guest Speaker: Jakob Stoustrup, Aalborg University

Abstract: The recent artificial intelligence (AI) boom has been largely driven by three confluence forces: algorithms, big data, and computing power enabled by modern integrated circuits (ICs) including specialized AI accelerators. In this talk, I will present a synergistic approach on AI and intelligent IC/accelerator designs with two main themes, AI for IC and IC […]

December 11th, 2019 1:30pm Location: 140 ISEC Abstract: The use of mechanics to lower the dynamic range requirements of radio and clock receivers has recently reduced low-bit-rate communication receive power consumption to near-zero levels and stands poised to enable radio cognition for more efficient use of high-bit-rate spectrum. Approaches to cognition and power reduction go […]

Location: 136 ISEC Abstract: Acoustic waves are well-suited for a variety of signal processing applications including RF filtering and optical modulation. Advances in material and fabrication capabilities have enabled the demonstration of chip-scale subsystems in which phonons can exhibit strong interactions with a variety of other physical domains. This talk will discuss developments in two […]

Abstract:  Multi-robot systems are becoming more pervasive all around us, in the form of fleets of autonomous vehicles, future delivery drones, and robotic teammates for search and rescue.  As a result, it becomes increasingly critical to question the robustness of their coordination algorithms to reliable information exchange, security threats and/or corrupted data. This talk will […]

Abstract: This decade has already seen a significant surge in the number of cyber-attacks. With the exponential growth of computers in numbers, due to the rise of cyberphysical systems (CPS) and internet-of-things (IoT) devices, and their ever-increasing importance in controlling critical tasks, it is expected that cybersecurity and data privacy become even more serious problems […]
