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 […]

Civil and Environmental Engineering Assistant […]
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 […]
The Institute for the Wireless Internet of Things is pleased to host a distinguished lecture on Real-time Geo-spatial Spectrum Sharing by Dr. Elliot Eichen. When: Monday, September 20th, 1pm. Location: Zoom Link Abstract: New technology and new applications for wireless communications have created competition for frequency bands traditionally allocated to remote sensing and defense applications. […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Dr. Paulette Clancy, Ph.D Head of the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Johns Hopkins University Materials Innovation in Nanotechnologies Abstract There are many problems at the forefront of materials chemistry whose solution is stymied by its inherent complexity. Such problems are characterized by a rich landscape of parameters and […]
Please join the Edward G. Galante Engineering Business Program in welcoming guest speaker Christina Chase for her presentation From Concept to Company: Navigating a Non-Linear Path. This talk will explore the different aspects of entrepreneurship, what it means to be entrepreneurial, and the concepts, tools and frameworks the most successful entrepreneurs employ to go from […]
PhD Proposal Review: Data-Driven Control and Estimation Tianyu Dai Location: Zoom Link Abstract: During the last two decades, data-driven control (DDC) has attracted growing attention in the control community. Unlike model-based control (MBC) that first uses the collected data to identify the system, then designs the controller according to the certainty equivalence principle, DDC skips […]
