PhD Dissertation Defense: Reconfigurable and Intelligent Wireless Charging Surfaces Kai Li Location: 232 ISEC Abstract: Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) have received significant attention for theirpotential to transform the environments by intelligently reconfiguring the surfaces, infrastructures,and engineering the electrical and magnetic fields. On the other hand, while wireless power transfer has advanced, there has been limited […]
ChE Seminar Series Presents: Yvon Woappi, Ph.D. K99/R00 MOSAIC Fellow at Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women's Hospital Abstract Large scale tissue damage, such as organ failure and burn injury, is a leading cause of morbidity and death. However, the mechanisms underlying full regeneration of organs remain poorly understood. As the largest organ system in […]
PhD Dissertation Defense: Intrabody Communication for Real-Time Monitoring of Implanted Medical Devices based on Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers Flavius Pop Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Nowadays when we think about medical devices and patient monitoring, we can easily imagine ourselves laying down in a hospital bad, wires coming out of everywhere, and being looked after by […]
PhD Proposal Review: Interpretable Machine Learning for Affective Neuroscience and Psychophysiology Zulqarnain Qayyum Khan Location: Zoom Link Abstract: In this thesis, we leverage Machine Learning to investigate questions of interest in affective psychophysiology and neuroscience . We argue for and apply appropriate existing methods where possible and analyze the results they provide. Where existing methods […]
In the College of Engineering, we prepare the next generation of engineers to solve real-world global challenges. Join Dean Gregory D. Abowd for a panel discussion on the ways in which the pandemic has influenced our engineering curriculum and driven our students and faculty to innovate new solutions to issues related to health, sustainability, security […]
PhD Proposal Review: Robust Sparsified Deep Learning Tong Jian Location: Zoom Link (ID: 75807284369, Passcode: 463BXOZk) Abstract: In this thesis, we investigate and address robustness concerns about DNN-based real-life applications on resource constrained systems, environment adaptation, and adversarial learning, respectively. We propose a means of compressing a Radio Frequency (RF) deep neural network architecture through […]
