In a panel co-presented by the College of Engineering CommLab, Khoury College Graduate Program, and the Network Science Institute, this panel reveals the experiences and insights of doctoral students who have been awarded fellowships. The six panelists, responding to questions from the moderator and audience, will discuss such topics as the application or nomination process, tips for effective application statements […]

PhD Proposal Review: Ultra-Low Power and Robust Analog Computing Circuits and System Design Framework for Machine Learning Applications Nikita Mirchandani Location: Zoom Link Abstract: As the scaling of CMOS transistors has almost halted, performance gains of digital systems have also started to stagnate. There is a renewed interest in alternate computing techniques such as in-memory […]

PhD Dissertation Defense: Explainable Efficient Models for Computer Vision Applications Wenqian Liu Location: Zoom Link Abstract: State of the art deep learning based models, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and generative models, achieve impressive results, but with their great performance comes great complexity and opacity, huge parametric spaces and little explainability. The criticality of […]

The GEM Annual Conference will take place from September 9-11 in Houston Texas.  During this event, GEM University and Employer Representatives will exhibit to promote their graduate and undergraduate (REU) research programs.

PhD Dissertation Defense: Near-Zero Power Microelectromechanical Sensors for Large-Scale IoT Sensor Networks Vageeswar Rajaram Location: ISEC 432 Abstract: The Internet-of-things revolution has ushered the development of sensing technologies aimed towards establishing large-scale remote sensor networks to monitor the environment continuously and with high spatial resolution. However, with existing sensor technologies this goal has so far […]

PhD Proposal Review: Sputtered Topological Insulator/Ferromagnet Heterostructures for Energy Efficient Spintronic Device Applications Nirjhar Bhattacharjee Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Topological insulators (TI) are Van der Waals (VdW) layered materials which possess enormous spin-orbit coupling (SOC) strength and spin-momentum locked robust surface states. TIs in presence of time-reversal symmetry breaking magnetic order can also exhibit chiral […]
