ESE Spring Seminar – “3D Functional Mesostructures: From Neural Interfaces to Environmental Monitors”
Complex, three dimensional (3D) micro/nanostructures in biology provide sophisticated, essential functions in even the most basic forms of life. Compelling opportunities exist for analogous 3D structures in man-made devices, but […]
ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Compositional Methods for Agile Quadrupedal Behaviors”
The last decade has witnessed a proliferation of legged machines with high power and force densities, as well as a commensurate development of locomotion controllers which achieve impressive empirical demonstrations. […]
ASSET Seminar: What makes learning to control easy or hard?, Nikolai Matni (University of Pennsylvania)
Presentation Abstract: Designing autonomous systems that are simultaneously high-performing, adaptive, and provably safe remains an open problem. In this talk, we will argue that in order to meet this goal, […]
ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Integrated photonic-assisted electronics for phased array beamforming and delay control”
In recent years, electronic-photonic co-design and co-integration has emerged as a disruptive technology to augment the power of integrated circuits and deliver enhanced chip scale solutions for a variety of […]
ESE Fall Colloquium: “Electronics 5.0: New Materials and Devices for Edge Intelligence”
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 […]
ESE Fall Colloquium – “On compression of, for, and with neural networks”
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 […]
ESE Fall Colloquium – “From Brains to Bandgaps: How Novel Materials Synthesis can provide New Semiconductor Platforms for Optoelectronics, Acoustics, Electronics and Neuromorphic Computation”
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 […]
ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense – “Modeling and Control of Dynamic Behavior of Spreading Processes on Networks”
Epidemiological spreading processes constitute the core of a large number of disparate networks. In some, faster spread is desirable, in others containing the spread is critically important. We focus on […]
ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense – “Accelerating HLS Autotuning of Large, Highly-Parameterized Reconfigurable SoC Mappings”
High-level synthesis has accelerated the adoption of autotuners to explore design spaces. Design-space size increases exponentially in the number of design parameters, and synthesizing a single configuration for a device-scale […]
ESE 2022 Jack Keil Wolf Lecture – “Sustaining the Semiconductor Revolution: Challenges and Opportunities”
Advancements in semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) “chip” technology over the past 60+ years have enabled exponential growth in chip functionality with exponential reduction in cost per transistor, resulting in the […]
