WHAT SOCIETY MUST REQUIRE FROM AI A lecture with Dr. Ronald M. Baecker, Emeritus Professor of Computer Science and Bell Chair in Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Toronto Dr. Baecker will discuss the dangers of premature use of AI, and what society must require of algorithms affecting human welfare, health, life, and death. The […]
Friday, October 28th at 12pm (VIRTUAL) Please Register: https://bit.ly/3BPSSOu All attendees receive a FREE BOOK! Abstract: This seminar explores intersections between systems thinking, community engagement, and collaborative change within and beyond engineering education by discussing three big questions: What skills do we (and our students) need to address some of the complex, intractable, systemic challenges that […]
Location: ISEC 332 "AI for communications and sensing in RF environments" Abstract: The recent growth of Internet of Things (IoT), as well as other new revolutionary applications utilizing wireless spectrum are leading the way towards realization of next generation wireless systems that jointly utilize communications and sensing. However, such systems offer many degrees of freedom, and […]

ChE Seminar Series Presents: Alison McGuigan, PhD Professor, Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry, University of Toronto Abstract: Ex vivo culture models provide powerful tools to interrogate the role of tumour heterogeneity in human cancers. Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) are emerging as powerful models to capture the genetic heterogeneity of human tumors. However, extrinsic factors present in the tumor microenvironment […]
"Human Body and Activity Analysis" Abstract: Human-related applications such as person detection, human pose estimations and human activity recognition, that always draw a lot of attentions in computer vision community. In this proposal, we discuss several related topics that we are interested in, and demonstrate how we improve the existing methods. The first problem we […]
"Partitioning Data Across Multiple, Network Connected FPGAs with High Bandwidth Memory to Accelerate Non-streaming Applications" Abstract: Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are increasingly used in cloud computing to increase the run time of various applications. Flexibility, efficiency and lower power enable FPGAs to be important components in modern data centers. Applications such as Secure Function Evaluation […]
"On-chip and multiplexed metasurfaces for light manipulation" Abstract: Metasurfaces, which consist of two-dimensional subwavelength nanostructures that can locally manipulate the proprieties of light including amplitude, phase, and polarization, provide an unprecedented means to control optical waves in a prescribed manner. Different functionalities, such as structured light, holograms, and flat lenses, have been realized by metasurfaces. […]
