In this dissertation, […]

MS Thesis Defense: On the Application of Spline Functions to Problems in Hyperspectral Imaging Owen McElhinney Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) is a rapidly growing topic in the field of remote sensing. Hyperspectral cameras trade off a reduction in the spatial resolution of modern imaging for a higher spectral resolution. This allows for […]

MS Thesis Defense: Space-Time Graphene Metasurfaces Hooman Barati Sedeh Location: Zoom Link Abstract: The unprecedented growth of the data exchanged between wireless devices and the rapid emergence of high-quality wireless services have raised the demand for communication bandwidth and data transmission rates. This has motivated the migration of wireless networks toward the utilization of carrier […]

PhD Dissertation Defense: Human-in-the-loop Prosthetic Robot Hand Control through Contextual Adaptation Mohammadreza Sharif Location: ISEC136 or Zoom Link Abstract: Despite fifty years of research on prosthetic robot hands, this technology is yet to be fully acknowledged by amputees as well as manufacturers, due to lack of robustness and intuitive control. Our goal is to enhance […]

Title: Introduction to Python Programming with Applications in Computational Problem Solving. Mohammad Fanaei Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language, which supports multiple programming paradigms, including functional and object-oriented programming. In this introductory learning conversation, we will introduce the conditional execution of code, loops, and function definitions in Python. We will then apply the […]

MS Thesis Defense: Distributed Containerized Wireless Systems Rahul Bathini Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Future wireless communication paradigms that will form the basis of 5G and beyond architectures will rely on the availability of network infrastructure as a service. In this approach, the same radio and compute resources are partitioned to serve many users, each of […]
