SUMMARY:Electrical and Computer Engineering Seminar: Fan Zhang
DESCRIPTION:Location: ISEC 140 \nPersistent Fault Attacks in Practice \nAbstract: \nPersistent fault analysis (PFA) was proposed at CHES 2018 as a novel fault analysis technique. It was shown to completely defeat standard redundancy based countermeasure against fault analysis. The original PFA was demonstrated with rowhammer-based fault injections. However whether such an analysis can be applied to traditional microcontrollers\, together with its attack difficulty in practice\, has not been investigated. In this talk\, for the first time\, a persistent fault attack is conducted on an unprotected AES algorithm implemented on ATmega163L microcontroller. Several critical challenges are coped with our new improvements. This talk will introduce the PFA at both theoretical and practical levels. \nBio: \nDr. Fan Zhang graduated from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering\, University of Connecticut\, USA. He is currently an associate professor in the College of Computer Science\, Zhejiang University\, China. He was a visiting scholar at the National University of Singapore and currently he is a visiting professor at Singapore University of Technology and Design. His major research interest is the general cybersecurity which includes hardware security\, system security\, network security and more. His special expertise lies in the domain of side-channel attacks (SCA) and countermeasures\, fault attacks\, cryptography\, and computer architecture. He is the Program Chair of PROOFS\, TPC member of DAC\, AsiaCCS\, AsianHOST\, ASHES\, COSADE\, FDTC\, Inscrypt\, and the Associate Editor of IEEE Access\, Cybersecurity. He has more than 60 publications in international conferences and journals such as CHES\, DATE\, COSADE\, FDTC\, TIFS\, TPDS.

SUMMARY:Electrical and Computer Engineering Seminar: Kris Dorsey
DESCRIPTION:Location: ISEC 136 \nIt’s a bit of a stretch: selective\, flexible mechanical sensors towards VR\, healthcare\, and robotics applications \nAbstract: \nIn this talk\, Kris Dorsey will discuss work related to mechanically “programming” soft sensors to respond to a particular mechanical deformation. Advances in 3D-printing\, soft polymer fabrication\, and other rapid fabrication processes have made the vision of conformal and stretchable mechanical sensors for wearable devices and soft robotics possible. One limitation of these sensors is their low selectivity between different modes of mechanical deformation\, such as strain\, torsion\, and bending.\nShe will present recent work in enhancing the selectivity of stretchable sensors. By using non-planar sensor morphology to bias the sensor towards a particular deformation mode\, the selectivity of the sensor can be enhanced. She will discuss projects including designing a sensor with electrically-tunable sensitivity and the fabrication origami-patterned\, deformation-selective flexible sensors. \n  \nBio: \nKris Dorsey is an assistant professor of engineering in the Picker Engineering Program at Smith College. She was a President’s Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California\, Berkeley and University of California\, San Diego. Dr. Dorsey graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering and earned her Bachelors of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Olin College. \nShe founded The MicroSMITHie Lab at Smith College to investigate micro- and miniature-scale sensor design and to prepare undergraduates for graduate study in engineering. Her current research interests include strain-stable\, hyperelastic components\, novel morphology soft sensors\, and sensors for soft robots and wearable devices. \nDr. Dorsey has co-authored several publications on hyperelastic strain sensors\, novel soft lithography processes\, and the stability of gas chemical sensors. In 2019\, she received the NSF CAREER award.

SUMMARY:Electrical and Computer Engineering Seminar: Xiaolin Xu
DESCRIPTION:Location: ISEC 138 \nEnsuring Hardware Cybersecurity from a Cross-Layer Perspective \nAbstract: \nThe rapid development of the semiconductor industry has significantly increased the number\, complexity\, and applicability of commercial electronics over the past few decades. As a result\, the security and assurance of hardware are playing a critical role in the cyberscape of modern society\, such as national defense\, healthcare\, transportation\, and finances. Hardware has been assumed to be trustworthy and reliable “by default.” However\, this assumption is no longer true\, with an increasing number of attacks reported on the hardware. In practice\, the globalization of semiconductor business poses grave risks from untrusted fabrication and distribution\, where Trojans insertion\, IP cloning\, and counterfeits may happen.    In this talk\, I will present our research efforts dedicated to the hardware-oriented cybersecurity from a cross-layer perspective. Specifically\, I will introduce two frameworks that we built to address these problems in the supply chain and embedded system layers. I will first present an identification technique based on the physical disorder of integrated circuitry that enables the authentication of electronic devices. Then\, I will present a hardware IP protection framework based on logic locking and circuit editing\, which can effectively mitigate the vulnerabilities from untrusted off-shore foundries and supply chains. At the end of the talk\, I will briefly present our scientific achievements in advancing the hardware security in the system and architecture layers\, as well as proposing a future research agenda of this emerging area. \nBio: \nDr. Xiaolin Xu is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). Prior to joining UIC\, he spent two years at Post-doc Fellow at the Florida Institute for Cybersecurity (FICS) research center at the University of Florida. He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2016 after he got the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in 2008 and 2011\, respectively. His research interests span hardware security and trust\, FPGA\, IoT security\, VLSI\, computer architecture\, embedded system\, and hardware-software co-design for modern computing systems. He is also interested in developing IoT devices and cloud-computing infrastructures with particular emphasis on security\, high-performance\, privacy protection.

SUMMARY:Electrical and Computer Engineering Seminar: Qing Qu
DESCRIPTION:Location: ISEC 138 \nTitle: Learning Low-complexity Models from the Data – Geometry\, Optimization\, and Applications \nAbstract: \nToday we are collecting a massive amount of data in forms of images and videos\, that we want to learn from the data themselves to extract useful information and to make predictions. The data are high-dimensional\, but often possess certain low-dimensional structures (e.g.\, sparsity). However\, learning these low-complexity models often results in highly nonconvex optimization problems\, where in the past our understandings of solving them were very limited. In the worst case\, optimizing a nonconvex problem is NP-hard. \nIn this talk\, we present global nonconvex optimization theory and guaranteed algorithms for efficient learning of low-complexity models from high-dimensional data. For several important problems in imaging science (i.e.\, sparse blind deconvolution) and representation learning (i.e.\, convolutional/overcomplete dictionary learning)\, we show that the underlying symmetry and low-complexity structures avoid the worst-case scenarios\, leading to benign global geometric properties of the nonconvex optimization landscapes. In particular\, for sparse blind deconvolution that aims to jointly learn the underlying physical model and sparse signals from convolutions\, the geometric intuitions lead to efficient nonconvex algorithms\, with linear convergence to target solutions. Moreover\, we extended our geometric analysis to convolutional dictionary learning based on its similarity with overcomplete dictionary learning\, providing the first global algorithmic guarantees for both problems. Finally\, we demonstrate our methods on several important applications in scientific discovery and draw connections to learning deep neural networks. \nThis talk is mainly based on one paper appeared in NeurIPS’19 (spotlight)\, and two papers accepted by ICLR’20 (one oral). \nBio:  \nQing Qu is a Moore-Sloan data science fellow at the Center for Data Science\, New York University. He received his Ph.D. from Columbia University in Electrical Engineering in Oct. 2018. He received his B.Eng. from Tsinghua University in Jul. 2011\, and an M.Sc.from the Johns Hopkins University in Dec. 2012\, both in Electrical and Computer Engineering. He interned at U.S. Army Research Laboratory in 2012 and Microsoft Research in 2016\, respectively. His research interest lies at the intersection of the foundation of data science\, machine learning\, numerical optimization\, and signal/image processing. His research focuses on developing computational methods for learning low-complexity models/structures from high dimensional data\, leveraging tools from machine learning\, numerical optimization\, and high dimensional probability/geometry. He is also interested in applying these data-driven methods to various engineering problems in imaging sciences\, scientific discovery\, and healthcare. He is the recipient of Best Student Paper Award at SPARS’15 (with Ju Sun and John Wright)\, and the recipient of Microsoft Ph.D. Fellowship 2016-2018 in machine learning.

SUMMARY:Electrical and Computer Engineering Seminar: Basak Guler
DESCRIPTION:ISEC 138 \nCoded Computing for Next-Generation Information Processing Systems \nAbstract: \nModern networks are designed to facilitate information processing in large-scale\, highly distributed environments that connect humans with smart machines. Information collected in such networks is often privacy-sensitive\, such as healthcare records\, financial transactions\, or geolocation data. Moreover\, these networks often need to operate in unknown environments using unreliable information sources\, which can lead to various interpretations of the received information. This brings three main challenges in designing effective distributed information-processing frameworks: scalability\, privacy\, and context-awareness. In this talk\, I will discuss how to address these challenges through information and coding theory principles. I will first introduce a fast and privacy-preserving framework for distributed machine learning\, which can provide an order of magnitude speedup over the existing cryptographic approaches. Next\, I will address a major bottleneck for the scalability of large-scale distributed computing frameworks\, the interprocessor communication load\, in the context of distributed graph processing.  To do so\, I will introduce a topology-aware graph allocation and communication strategy using coding theory and demonstrate that it can reduce the inter-processor communication load significantly for both real-world and random graph structures. Finally\, I will discuss the fundamental performance limits of information transmission in context-aware multiuser communication networks. I will characterize the information-theoretic performance limits for lossy transmission of correlated sources in a multi-user communication channel when the communicating parties have access to context information correlated with the sources. \nBio: \nBasak Guler is a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Southern California.

SUMMARY:Electrical and Computer Engineering Seminar: Najme Ebrahimi
DESCRIPTION:Location: ISEC 136 \nNext Generation of Smart Wireless World: from High Data-Rate Mm-wave Directional Arrays to Reliable and Secured IoT Connectivity for 5G and Beyond \nAbstract: \nThe next generation of smart wireless world requires massive and reliable connectivity as well as high datarate communication and sensing. Consequently\, the immediate response of the wireless world is acquiring the mm-wave (MMW) wireless band (30 GHz–300 GHz) and the development of 5G and beyond. The major challenge of deploying high data-rate communication system at MMW frequency bands is the channel fading and multi-path diffraction effect. Hence\, multiple-element transceivers such as scalable “directional” phased array or massive MIMO are required. Moreover\, the next generation of wireless world is expected to have over one trillion Internet of Things (IoT) devices connected\, requiring secured connectivity such as protection against interference\, jammers\, and eavesdroppers  In this talk\, I will present novel techniques to overcome the challenges for future scalable high data-rate MMW transceiver array from silicon circuit toward RFIC system and packaging. This includes parasitic-insensitive\, power-efficient\, and wideband 2×2 arrays of injection-locked oscillators for efficient local oscillator (LO) distribution and phase shifting (circuit technique)\,  image selection Weaver architecture to significantly reduce the required bandwidth of the LO generation circuitry for the MMW system from conventional 20% to only 4% (RFIC architecture)\, and compact differential aperture coupled LO distribution feed network for compact and scalable antenna-IC integration (packaging). I will also discuss several future directions toward high-frequency signal generation and modulation based on integrating the circuit and electromagnetics fundamental theories for communication and sensing above 100 GHz\, namely\, as 6G.   On the other hand\, employing a “directional” antenna for interference/eavesdropper cancellation for IoTs suffers from side-lobe leakage and requires accurate beam alignment and localization. In this talk\, I will present a novel embedded architecture for a distributed IoT network that utilizes a masterslave full-duplex communication using an omnidirectional antenna to exchange a random modulated phase shift as the secret key while canceling out the eavesdropper effect. I will also discuss two future directions for interference cancellation from circuit level to system level; from cooperative and distributed pulse coupled synchronization for dynamically interference canceling towards wideband interference canceller/filter at RF front-end of IoT devices using a single antenna to turn the radio with one-bit ADC into reality \nBio: \nNajme Ebrahimi is a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the University of Michigan (U-M) since September 2017.

SUMMARY:Engineers Week: Harnessing Metamaterials to Manipulate Electromagnetic and Acoustic Waves
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Xin Zhang\, Professor\, Boston University \nLocation: 138 ISEC \nMetamaterials have been intensively studied and applied to a broad range of practical applications ranging from wireless communications to magnetic resonance imaging. Photonic metamaterials consisting of subwavelength “meta-atoms” have received enormous interest due to their extraordinary and unprecedented optical properties. Specifically\, the effective permittivity and permeability can be tailored and reconfigured to construct metamaterial devices by modulating or actuating the constituent meta-atoms. By leveraging microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology\, we have developed functional metamaterial devices to manipulate and detect the terahertz waves. In addition\, metamaterials exhibit extraordinary near-field properties to control electric and magnetic field distribution. I will introduce our progress on intelligent magnetic metamaterials to enhance the signal to noise ratio of magnetic resonance imaging. Besides electromagnetic metamaterials\, acoustic metamaterials for sound wave shaping and silencing will also be discussed. \nXin Zhang received her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). She was a Postdoctoral Researcher and then a Research Scientist with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She then joined Boston University (BU) as a Faculty Member\, where she is currently a Professor of Mechanical Engineering\, Electrical & Computer Engineering\, Biomedical Engineering\, Materials Science & Engineering\, and the Photonics Center. Dr. Zhang is the Associate Director of the Boston University Nanotechnology Innovation Center and Director of both the NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) and Teachers (RET) Sites in Integrated Nanomanufacturing at Boston University. \nDr. Zhang’s research interests are in the broad areas of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS or microsystems) and metamaterials (acoustic\, electromagnetic\, nonlinear\, photonic\, terahertz\, tunable\, etc.). She has published 160+ papers in interdisciplinary journals\, become both US and EU-US National Academy of Engineering Invitee (ages: 30-45)\, and is an Elected Fellow of AAAS\, AIMBE\, APS\, ASME\, IEEE\, NAI\, and OSA\, and Associate Fellow of AIAA. \nHosted by the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department

SUMMARY:Electrical and Computer Engineering Seminar: Murat Kocaoglu
DESCRIPTION:Location: ISEC 138 \nCausality: From Learning to Generative Models \nAbstract: \nCausal inference is fundamental for multiple disciplines ranging from medical research to engineering\, statistics\, and economics. It is also central in machine learning and is now becoming a core component of artificial intelligence research. Although causal inference has been studied for a long time in various fields under different frameworks\, today we need tools that can process a large number of variables to handle modern large datasets. The graphical approach to probabilistic causation advocated by Judea Pearl and others provides a way to compactly represent the causal relations using directed acyclic graphs and paves the way for the design of algorithms that can answer causal questions for many variables. \nIn this talk\, Kocaoglu first provides a friendly introduction to causality and explain why causal understanding is important. As his first contribution\, he will propose a framework called entropic causal inference for inferring the causal direction between two variables from data. He will show that entropy can be used to capture the complexity of a causal mechanism. Further\, if the true direction has a simple mechanism\, we can identify it from data. The entropic causal inference framework leverages tools from information theory for causal inference. As his second contribution\, he will show how we can apply causality in deep generative models – deep neural networks used for modeling complex data. He will demonstrate how to define and train a causal deep generative model\, called CausalGAN for generating images with labels. As an extension of generative adversarial networks (GANs)\, CausalGAN allows sampling not only from the observed data distribution but also from the interventional distributions of images. He will conclude with future directions for causal inference and its applications in supervised learning and reinforcement learning. \n \nBio: \nMurat Kocaoglu received his B.S. degree in Electrical – Electronics Engineering with a minor degree in Physics from the Middle East Technical University in 2010. He received his M.S. degree from the Koc University\, Turkey in 2012 under the supervision of Prof. Ozgur B. Akan\, and PhD degree from The University of Texas at Austin in 2018\, under the supervision of Prof. Alex Dimakis and Prof. Sriram Vishwanath. He is currently a Research Staff Member in the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab in IBM Research\, Cambridge\, Massachusetts. His current research interests include causal inference\, generative adversarial networks\, and information theory
