The BU Wireless Integrated Systems and Extreme Circuits (WISE-Circuits) group blends integrated circuits with energy-constrained applications to pioneer breakthroughs in information theory, bioengineering, and communications. Our research focuses on the […]
ESE Fall Seminar – “Learning-NUM: Utility Maximization in Stochastic Queueing Networks”
We consider the problem of network utility maximization (NUM) and propose a new Learning-NUM framework, where the users’ utility functions are unknown apriori and the utility function values can be […]
ESE Fall Seminar – “Deep Latent Variable Models for Compression and Natural Science”
Latent variable models have been an integral part of probabilistic machine learning, ranging from simple mixture models to variational autoencoders to powerful diffusion probabilistic models at the center of recent […]
ESE Fall Seminar – “Reflections on learning about learning: A case study on where ideas come from in (In-)Secure Processor Design”
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 […]
ESE Fall Seminar – “Power to the People (and to the Datacenters)! Achieving the dream of a clean and reliable electricity supply”
Most of us think of electricity as a clean and reliable source of energy, which flows out of the plug whenever we need it. The reality is far more complex. […]
ESE Fall Seminar – “Beyond the Exit of the Device Miniaturization Tunnel”
For the past fifty years, researchers of semiconductor technology have felt like walking inside a tunnel. There was a single path forward – two-dimensional down-scaling of device sizes, also referred […]
ESE Fall Seminar – “Big AI for Small Devices”
As artificial intelligence (AI) transforms industries, state-of-the-art models have exploded in size and capability. However, deploying these models on resource-constrained edge devices remains a significant challenge. Smartphones, wearables, and IoT […]
