ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Compute-In-Memory on Emerging Memory Technology: From Device to Algorithm”
Current computing systems are mainly constructed on the von Neumann architecture, where data needs to be transferred to a processing unit from memory components. The latency associated with accessing data […]
Physics PhD Thesis Defense: “Characterization of Solid State Defect Systems For Quantum Computing, Communication, and Sensing”
Solid state defects have emerged as a leading candidate for platforms in quantum computing, communication, and sensing. The electronic spins localized around these defects have many advantages such as room […]
ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Event-based Perception for Ground Vehicle Control”
Autonomous vehicles rely on environmental perception to inform the system on how to act. Vision sensors, such as conventional cameras, have been at the forefront of the perception of most […]
ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Control and Optimization over Large-Scale Networks”
The future of the Internet of Things (IoT) envisions very large networks of spatially distributed devices cooperating to solve common tasks in both industrial and urban environments. That vision fundamentally […]
