Colloquium

Data compression is enjoying a renaissance fueled by an unprecedented growth in both the amount of data being generated and our reliance on powerful computation. At its heart is an increasingly intricate interplay between compression, artificial neural networks, and (our) biological neural networks. I will survey some related research in which I have been involved, […]

The end of traditional transistor scaling brings unprecedented new opportunities to semiconductor devices and electronics. We are at the onset of a new technology revolution, which will focus on distributed intelligence and will be pushing the limits of sensing and computing at the edge of the cloud. This seminar will describe some of our work […]

Since the first discovery of semiconductors, materials synthesis has been the driving force for new devices, new applications, and new markets. In this presentation, Professor Doolittle will provide two examples of “counterculture synthesis methods”, methods that buck literature tradition, that enable new devices, applications, and potentially vast new markets. Emphasis will be given to non-standard […]
