Please consider joining the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering for this seminar on sustainable urban travel. ABSTRACT: Cycling is the most sustainable means of urban travel, practical for most short- and medium-distance trips—commuting to and from work and school, shopping, visiting friends—as well as for recreation and exercise. Cycling promotes physical, social, and mental […]
Faculty Seminar: Is temporal interference the key to noninvasive deep brain stimulation? Answers from simulation studies in mice and humans. Sumientra Rampersad Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Transcranial current stimulation (tCS) has been used for two decades to noninvasively investigate and influence brain function in both healthy volunteers and clinical populations. While many positive effects have […]

PhD Proposal Review: Towards Robust and Secure Deep Learning Models and Beyond Siyue Wang Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Modern science and technology witness the breakthroughs made by deep learning during the past decades. Fueled by rapid improvements of computational resources, learning algorithms, and massive amount of data, deep neural networks (DNNs) have played a dominant […]
MS Thesis Defense titled DeepSense: Fast Wideband Spectrum Sensing Through Real-Time In-the-Loop Deep Learning Daniel Uvaydov Location: Microsoft Teams Abstract: Spectrum sharing will be a key technology to tackle spectrum scarcity in the sub-6 GHz bands. To fairly access the shared bandwidth, wireless users will necessarily need to quickly sense large portions of spectrum and […]
PhD Dissertation Defense: High-performance Translation Layers for Cloud Immutable Storage Mohammad Hossein Hajkazemi Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Most storage interfaces support in-place updates: blocks can be rewritten, files can be modified at byte granularity, fields may be updated in database table rows. Yet internally these layers often rely on out-of-place (immutable) writes. In some cases, […]
PhD Dissertation Defense: Visual Learning with Limited Supervision Kunpeng Li Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Deep learning models have achieved remarkable success in many computer vision tasks. However, they typically rely on large amounts of carefully labeled training data whose annotating process is usually expensive, time-consuming and even infeasible when considering the task complexity and scarcity […]
