    "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 […]

  • Lin Deng’s PhD Proposal Review

    "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. […]

  • IISE Six Sigma Green Belt Certification

    Six Sigma is a methodology based on statistical analysis rather than guesswork to improve processes with unknown problems. Our Green Belt training and certification course allow you to create charts, process maps, and control plans to describe Six Sigma roles within an organization, use statistical tests to improve processes, use Minitab to run statistical tests, and define a Six Sigma project.

    "Robust Data-Driven Control" Abstract: During the last two decades, data-driven control (DDC) has attracted growing attention in the control community. Unlike model-based control (MBC), which first uses the collected data to identify the system, then designs the controller according to the certainty equivalence principle, DDC skips the system identification (SYSID) step and leads to a […]

    "RF Front-End Components based on Linear-Time-Variant Modulation of Piezoelectric MEMS Resonators" Abstract: Throughout the last decade, radio frequency (RF) components for over-the-air communication and sensing have been subject to sustained market pressure to adapt to the novel trends such as spectrum sharing, programmability, and low-power operation. When these features are required in chip-scale RF hardware, […]

  • Leveraging the Natural Cellular and Biomolecular Interactions in Blood for the Design of Targeted, Anti-Inflammatory Particle Therapeutics

    236 Richards 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA, United States

    ChE Seminar Series Presents:  Dr. Omolola (Lola) Eniola-Adefeso Associate Dean for Graduate and Professional Education in the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor Abstract:  Vascular-targeted particle therapeutics offer the possibility of increased drug effectiveness while minimizing side effects often associated with systemic drug administration. Factors that influence the likelihood of targeted particle […]
