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 […]
Good afternoon Northeastern Graduate Students, Please join the Alliance for Diversity in Science and Engineering and your fellow grad students for our end-of-year event on December 17th from 12-1 pm in Curry 440! We will have pizza and will be hosting a cookie swap, so bring a dozen or two of your favorite homemade (or not, […]
PhD Proposal Review: Robust Observer Structures and Control Design for Linear and Nonlinear Dynamical Systems with Applications Anahita Moradmand Location: Zoom Link Abstract: This thesis focuses on special class of observers and controllers for different and seperable nonlinear systems. In the first step, a robust fault detection approach using observers for linear systems is proposed […]
PhD Dissertation Defense: Plasmonically Enhanced Infrared Sensing Microsystems Sungho Kang Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Infrared (IR) spectroscopic sensing has become a key technique in multidisciplinary environments such as military applications, industrial safety control, and smart homes, by providing an accurate and non-disruptive analysis of the target objects. Recently the demand for high performance and compact […]
PhD Dissertation Defense: Automated Bayesian Network Exploration for Nuisance-Robust Inference Andac Demir Location: Zoom Link Abstract: A fundamental challenge in the analysis of physiological signals is learning useful features that are robust to nuisance factors e.g., inter-subject \& inter-session variability, and achieve the highest nuisance-invariant classification performance. Towards resolving this problem, we introduce 3 frameworks: […]
