ESE Seminar: “Joint Wireless Communication and Sensing in Terahertz Spectrum”

Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract Millimeter-wave and terahertz bands are emerging as the most promising spectrum to meet the data-rate and latency demands of future wireless applications, including virtual reality and autonomous cars. Moreover, large spectral availability and mm-scale wavelength provide the possibility for ubiquitous and high-resolution sensing. My research builds a foundation for joint communication and sensing in […]

CIS Seminar: “Building Data-Driven Computers: Reimagining Systems to Reduce the High Costs of Large-Scale Data Processing”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: A wide range of application domains are emerging as computing platforms of all types become more ubiquitous in society.  Many of these applications are data centric, and spend a significant fraction of their time on accessing and processing very large datasets.  Examples of these applications include graph frameworks, precision medicine, computer vision, deep learning, […]

ESE Seminar: “Integrated Optical Phased Arrays: LiDAR, Augmented Reality, and Beyond”

Berger Auditorium (Room 13), Skirkanich Hall 210 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract By enabling optical microsystems with new functionalities, improved system performance, and reduced size, weight, and power, integrated photonics is positioned to enable next-generation optical technologies that facilitate revolutionary advances for numerous fields spanning science and engineering, including computing, sensing, communications, displays, quantum, and biology. An emerging class of integrated photonic systems is integrated optical […]

Cancelled: CIS Seminar: “The Value Alignment Problem in Artificial Intelligence”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: Abstract: Much of our success in artificial intelligence stems from the adoption of a simple paradigm: specify an objective or goal, and then use optimization algorithms to identify a behavior (or predictor) that optimally achieves this goal. This has been true since the early days of AI (e.g., search algorithms such as A* that […]

Cancelled: CIS Seminar: “Deep Probabilistic Graphical Modeling”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: Deep learning (DL) is a powerful approach to modeling complex and large scale data. However, DL models lack interpretable quantities and calibrated uncertainty. In contrast, probabilistic graphical modeling (PGM) provides a framework for formulating an interpretable generative process of data and a way to express uncertainty about what we do not know. How can […]

Cancelled: CIS Seminar:”New Compilation Techniques for Reconfigurable Analog Devices”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: Reconfigurable analog devices are a powerful new computing substrate especially appropriate for executing dynamical systems in an energy efficient manner. These devices leverage the physical behavior of transistors to directly implement computation. Under this paradigm, voltages and currents within the device implement continuously evolving variables in the computation. In this talk, I discuss compilation […]

Cancelled: CIS Seminar: “Harnessing the Power of People: Human-AI Interaction Design in Healthcare, Language, and Beyond”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: Some claim AI is the “new electricity” due to its growing significance and ubiquity. My research investigates this vision from an HCI perspective: How can we situate this remarkable technology in ways people perceive as valuable? How could we form a symbiotic relationship between AI systems and their users, to do things neither can […]
