  • Robotics at Northeastern: A personal view of Autonomy Underwater, On Land and with Aerial Systems

    This session will cover interconnected nature of autonomous vehicles on land, underwater, and in the air. Using examples from research at Northeastern, it explores the interconnections of systems design, application-driven robotics, and the fundamental algorithms associated with simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), machine learning (ML), and computer vision and imaging as it applies to a […]

  • PhD Dissertation Defense: Huaihao Chen

    PhD Dissertation Defense: Integrated RF Devices Based on Magnetoelectric Coupling Huaihao Chen Location: Zoom Meeting Abstract: The magnetoelectric (ME) coupling effect is a coupling behavior between the magnetic properties and electric properties in a single-phase crystal or a composite structure. At present, ME composite is more widely used in practical application than the single-phase crystal […]
