PhD Dissertation Defense: Content-Aware AI-Driven Design Assistance Frameworks for Graphic Design Layouts Sara Banian Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Designing user interfaces (UIs) for mobile interaction is widespread but still challenging. It is important for the overall user satisfaction and application success. During the design process, designers express their requirements through images describing the UI’s layout, […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Dr. Michael Harold Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, University of Houston Abstract: The abundant domestic natural gas resources has motivated the accelerated development of natural gas powered vehicles and stationary engines. With the primary constituent of abundant NG being methane (CH4), NG has a higher H:C ratio than gasoline or […]
PhD Dissertation Defense: Design, Modeling, and Operation of Plasmonic Devices for Smart Communication Systems in the Terahertz Band Arjun Singh Location: 332 ISEC or Teams Link Abstract: The terahertz (THz) band is an attractive spectral resource for realizing future communication systems, with the potential of supporting very high-speed data rates and increasingly dense networks. However, […]
PhD Proposal Review: Scandium-doped Aluminum Nitride for new MEMS technologies Michele Pirro Location: 432 ISEC Zoom Link Meeting ID: 938 0086 0379 https://northeastern.zoom.us/u/abZS2SmtT1 Abstract: The increasing demand for data is pushing the MEMS industry to more performant and area-efficient systems to be used in IOT nodes as sensors and RF-components. In this market, AlN plays […]
PhD Proposal Review: Softwarized Approaches for the Open RAN of NextG Cellular Networks Leonardo Bonati Location: 532 ISEC Abstract: The 5th (5G) and 6th generations (6G) of cellular networks, also known as NextG, will bring unprecedented flexibility to the wireless cellular ecosystem. Because of its typically closed and rigid market, the telco industry has incurred […]
Join this seminar to learn how to make microscopy image analysis more straightforward. An arivis™ representative will be presenting on topics such as image segmentation, multiview registration, storyboard, colocalization, and image processing (denoise, decon, etc).
PhD Proposal Review: Engineering Functional Nanomesh for Advanced Neuroelectronics Jaehyeon Ryu Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Transparent electronics have emerged as promising platforms for neural interfacing by enabling simultaneous electrophysiological recording and optical measurements. Also, there are high demands for stretchable devices due to their low modulus and compatible interface with irregular and soft neural tissue. […]
Distinguished Speaker Series in Robotics Gregory S. Chirikjian: Robot Imagination: Affordance-Based Reasoning about Unknown Objects Location: ISEC Auditorium or Zoom Link Abstract: Today’s robots are very brittle in their intelligence. This follows from a legacy of industrial robotics where robots pick and place known parts repetitively. For humanoid robots to function as servants in the […]
PhD Dissertation Defense: Domain Design Space Exploration: Designing a Unified Platform for a Domain of Streaming Applications Jinghan Zhang Location: ISEC 362 or Zoom Link Abstract: Many demanding streaming applications share functional and structural similarities with other applications in their respective domain, e.g., video analytics, software-defined radio, and radar. This opens the opportunity for specialization […]
