Sai Geetha Seri’s PhD Proposal Review
"Advancing Passive Ocean Acoustic Waveguide Remote Sensing for Detection of Fish Sounds, Seismo-Acoustic Airgun Signals, and Marine Mammal Vocalizations including Instrumentation Enhancements" Committee: Prof Purnima Ratilal Makris (Advisor) Prof Josep M Jornet Dr Nils Olav Handegard Abstract: Underwater passive acoustic monitoring is important for understanding the marine environment, since many ocean entities produce sound that can travel long ranges especially at low frequencies. For instance, sound plays a vital role in the communication, navigation, and behavior of many marine biological…

"Channel-and-Adversary-Resilient Radio Fingerprinting through Data-Driven Approaches at Scale" Abstract: Radio fingerprinting authenticates wireless devices by leveraging tiny hardware-level imperfections inevitably present in the radio circuitry. This way, devices can be directly identified at the physical layer– thus avoiding energy-expensive upper-layer cryptography that resource-limited embedded devices may not be able to afford. Recent advances have proven that employing deep learning algorithms can achieve fingerprinting accuracy levels that were impossible to achieve by traditional low-dimensional algorithms. Still, the wireless research community…

"Decoupling Efficiency-Performance Optimization for Modern Neural Networks" Committee: Prof. Yanzhi Wang (Advisor) Prof. David R. Kaeli Prof. Sunil Mittal Prof. Jennifer Dy Abstract: Deep learning has achieved remarkable success in a variety of modern applications, but this success is often accompanied by inefficiency in terms of storage and inference speed, which can hinder their practical use on resource-constrained hardware. Developing highly efficient neural networks that maintain high prediction accuracy is crucial and challenging. This dissertation explores the potential for simultaneously…

"Overcoming and Engineering Wireless Signals for Communication and Computation" Abstract: The phenomenal growth of connected devices, especially rapid expansion of IoT networks and the increasing demand for wireless services are the main driving forces for the evolution of wireless technologies. However, the realization of such technologies requires a radical transformation of existing infrastructures to satisfy the needs of changing wireless environments. The main limitation in delivering these systems stems from a huge diversity in their demands and constraints. To address…
