SUMMARY:ECE PhD Proposal Review: Jinghan Zhang
DESCRIPTION:PhD Proposal Review: Design Space Exploration: Designing a Unified Platform for a Domain of Streaming Applications \nJinghan Zhang \nLocation: Zoom Link \nAbstract: Many demanding streaming applications share functional and structural similarities with\nother applications in their respective domain\, e.g. video analytics\, software-defined radio\, and radar. This opens the opportunity for specialization (e.g. heterogeneous computing) to achieve the needed efficiency and/or performance. However\, current Design Space Exploration (DSE) focuses on an individual application in isolation (e.g. one particular vision flow)\, but not a set of similar applications.Hence\, optimizations that occur due to considering multiple applications simultaneously are missed. New DSE methodologies and tools are needed with a broader scope of application sets instead of individual applications.\nThis dissertation introduces a novel Domain DSE approach focusing on streaming applications. Key contributions are: (1) a formalized method to extract the functional and structural similarities of domain applications\, (2) domain application generation to provide enough synthetic domains as study cases\, (3) a rapid platform performance estimation and comparison at two abstraction levels: Domain Score (DS) and Analytic Performance Estimation (APE) model\, (4) a methodology to evaluate a platform’s benefit for a set of applications\, (5) two novel algorithms\, Dynamic Score Selection (DSS) and GenetIc Domain Exploration (GIDE)\, to allocate a domain-specific platform to maximize the throughput across domain applications under certain constraints\, and (6) Multi-Granularity Domain DSE (MG-DmDSE) to extend DSE considering multi-granularity functionality similarity in the platform allocation and application binding. \n

SUMMARY:Engineers Week: Laser Cutting 101
DESCRIPTION:The Bioengineering Department presents speaker Noah Joseph for this year’s Engineers Week events. \n\nLocation: This event is virtual\, free\, and open to the public. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://northeastern.zoom.us/j/93306770038?pwd=c1JqWHhUZFR2bFNvVG1DdnR5akI5dz09 \nMeeting ID: 933 0677 0038\nPasscode: 709079\nOne tap mobile\n+19292056099\,\,93306770038#\,\,\,\,*709079# US (New York)\n+13017158592\,\,93306770038#\,\,\,\,*709079# US (Washington DC) \n\nLaser Cutting 101 \nNoah JosephLab Technician\, Northeastern University \nNoah Joseph\, Lab Technician\, Northeastern University \nTake a tour of the newly renovated 3D Print room of the Bioengineering Capstone Collaborative. Briefly explore different 3D printing technologies (Fused Deposition Modeling\, Stereolithography\, Fused Filament Fabrication\, and Continuous Filament Fabrication). Then\, take a deep dive into the world of laser cutting with the Boss Laser LS-1420 machine. Learn about how this CO2 laser cutter works and what materials can be cut and engraved. We’ll walk through the process of bringing an idea from file to real-world object. \nNoah Joseph earned his undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from Brown University in 2018. Since September 2018\, he has worked as a Lab Technician for both Northeastern’s Bioengineering department as well as the Michael J. and Ann Sherman Center for Engineering Entrepreneurship Education. \nNoah oversees the day-to-day operations of the Bioengineering Capstone Collaborative (BCC)\, which is a workspace that serves bioengineering undergraduates\, graduate students\, and faculty. He maintains and operates instrumentation in the BCC\, which include a suite of 3D printers\, a laser cutter\, hand tools\, power tools\, and various electronic fabrication/testing equipment. \nDownload Flyer (pdf)

SUMMARY:Engineers Week: Can AI Models Advance Our Understanding of Exposure to Local Scale Mobile Source Pollutants in Highly Urbanized Areas?
DESCRIPTION:The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department presents Distinguished Seminar speaker Deb Niemeier for this year’s Engineers Week events. \n\nLocation: This event is virtual\, free\, and open to the NU community. \nJoin Zoom Meeting \n\nCan AI Models Advance Our Understanding of Exposure to Local Scale Mobile Source Pollutants in Highly Urbanized Areas? \nDeb Niemeier\, PhD \nDeb Niemeier\, Ph.D.\nClark Distinguished Chair in Energy and Sustainability\, University of Maryland\, College Park \nABSTRACT: The surface topography\, emission source variation\, and population distribution of urban landscapes all lend themselves to highly variable air pollutant concentrations in urban areas; concentrations that can vary dramatically even within short distances. The spatial variations in air pollutant concentrations can be as large as the contrast between cities and epidemiological studies clearly show that within-city PM exposure is larger than the between-city effect. One of the critical gaps in our understanding is how to best characterize within-city air pollutant concentration gradients\, which is crucial for exposure assessment\, urban planning\, air pollution monitoring\, and environmental equity. The development of high accuracy portable pollution sensing instruments and Global Positioning System (GPS) technology\, the use of vehicles for mobile air pollution monitoring can be used to tackle some of the challenges of estimating pollutants based on stationary monitoring sites. These mobile sensors can typically achieve high spatial resolution for air pollutants measurement\, but generate incredible amounts of data. This talk explores the trade-offs between using different ML approaches to produce credible micro-scale estimates for regional or hotspot modeling. \nBIO: Deb Niemeier is the Clark Distinguished Chair in Energy and Sustainability at the University of Maryland\, College Park and serves as a professor in the Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering. She has extensive expertise in understanding the spatial properties of mobile source emissions\, developing new methods for improving vehicle emissions inventories\, and accelerating the implementation of regulatory guidance to better identify vulnerable populations and environmental health disparities. Her research is currently focused on understanding infrastructure features that give rise to inequitable outcomes in the built environment\, particularly with the onset of climate change. In 2014\, Niemeier was named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) for “distinguished contributions to energy and environmental science study and policy development.” In 2015\, she was named a Guggenheim Fellow for foundational work on pro bono service in engineering. In 2017\, she was elected to the National Academy of Engineering. Niemeier received a B.S. in civil engineering from the University of Texas (1982)\, her M.S. from the University of Maine and a Ph.D. in civil engineering from the University of Washington (1994). \nDownload Flyer (pdf)
