Photonics serves as the backbone of modern information infrastructure, transmitting and processing data at unparalleled speeds with minimal energy consumption by harnessing the inherent parallelism, high-frequency operation, and expansive bandwidths. In the […]
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Earthshots Initiative aims to accelerate breakthroughs of more abundant, affordable and reliable clean energy solutions, to tackle the toughest remaining barriers to addressing the […]
Abstract: Large pre-trained models trained on internet-scale data are often not ready for safe deployment out-of-the-box. They are heavily fine-tuned and aligned using large quantities of human preference data, usually […]
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT In this talk, I will discuss how we engineered the foundation of […]
Abstract: One of the main challenges in the molecular sciences is identifying promising candidates for a target application given the virtually limitless number of possibilities. Computer simulations and machine learning […]

Abstract: Proper organism development relies on precise gene regulation, where genes are expressed at specific times, locations, and quantities. Non-coding DNA sequences called enhancers play a crucial role in this […]
Researchers have documented race and gender bias in STEM for decades, but there has been little parallel examination of LGBTQ status as an axis of inequality. How do LGBTQ-identifying STEM […]
When it comes to security, hardware is the new software. Starting some years ago, this shift was made plain when a litany of attacks, such as "Spectre/Meltdown" and "Rowhammer", shattered […]
Foundation models including LLMs and multi-modal models released by OpenAI (GPT), Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini), Meta (Llama), and others have shown very impressive capabilities across a range of tasks. Some […]
