"Robust System Software for Quantum Computing" Committee Members: Prof. Devesh Tiwari (Advisor) Prof. David Kaeli Prof. Ningfang Mi Prof. Gene Cooperman Prof. Kenneth Brown Abstract: Despite rapid progress in quantum computing in the last decade, the limited usability of quantum computers remains a major roadblock toward its wider adoption. Current noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computers […]

"Towards accurate and efficient edge computing via multi-task learning " Abstract: AI-powered applications increasingly adopt Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) for solving many prediction tasks, leading to more than one DNNs running on resource-constrained devices. Supporting many models simultaneously on a device is challenging due to the linearly increased computation, energy, and storage costs. An effective […]

Professor Ravinder Dahiya will be joining Northeastern’s ECE Department on January 2023.

"Exploring Micro-Machined Glass Shell Resonators For Sensor Application" Abstract: This work presents the exploration of the chip-scale glass blowing technique for novel sensing methods. On-chip microspherical glass shells (MSG) of hundreds of micrometers in diameter with ultra-smooth surfaces and sub-micrometer wall thicknesses have been fabricated and have been shown to sustain optical whispering gallery mode […]

ECE Seminar: Reinforcement Learning for Dynamical Systems with Temporal Logic Specifications Derya Aksaray Location: 442 Dana or Zoom Link Abstract: In many applications, dynamical systems such as drones, mobile robots, or autonomous cars need to achieve complex specifications on their trajectories which may include spatial (e.g., regions of interest), temporal (e.g., time bounds), and logical […]

ECE Seminar: Emergent Active Photonic Platforms for Next-generation Mid-infrared and Ultrafast Photonics Qiushi Guo Location: 442 Dana or Zoom Link Abstract: As two basic properties of light, wavelength and timescale are central to numerous photonic applications. Compared to visible and near-infrared, the longer wavelength mid-infrared spectral regime contains unique thermal visual information and chemical fingerprints […]

ECE Seminar: Autonomous Microsystems Based on Heterogeneously Integrated CMOS for Biological Big Data Sunwoo Lee Location: 442 Dana or Zoom Link Abstract: Minimally invasive and chronic physiological monitoring can provide an effective means of disease prevention and early detection while the cumulative big data can unveil hidden patterns in our physiology. Yet, current physiological monitoring […]

ECE Seminar: Deployable Learning Machines: From cost-to-go estimation to certification Michael Everett Location: 442 Dana and Zoom Link Abstract: Autonomous robots have the potential to transform our everyday lives, yet most of these systems struggle outside of the lab or carefully designed warehouses. This talk will first describe our work toward a new generation of […]

Location: Dana 442 Seminar Title: A More Resilient Power Grid with Faster-Than-Real-Time Stability Abstract: Since the northeast blackout of 1965, cascading blackouts have continued to happen on power grids in the North America and other countries. For a grid operator, it is vitally important to be aware of real-time stability and reliability margin for the […]
