Electrical and Computer Engineering Seminar: Najme Ebrahimi
Location: ISEC 136 Next Generation of Smart Wireless World: from High Data-Rate Mm-wave Directional Arrays to Reliable and Secured IoT Connectivity for 5G and Beyond Abstract: The next generation of smart wireless world requires massive and reliable connectivity as well as high datarate communication and sensing. Consequently, the immediate response of the wireless world is acquiring the mm-wave (MMW) wireless band (30 GHz–300 GHz) and the development of 5G and beyond. The major challenge of deploying high data-rate communication system…

Location: ISEC 136 Rethinking Operating System and Hardware Abstractions for Good and Evil Abstract: Current hardware and operating system abstractions were conceived at a time when we had minimal security threats, scarce compute and memory resources and limited numbers of users. These assumptions are not true today. On one hand, attacks such as Spectre and Meltdown have shown that current hardware is plagued by vulnerabilities. On the other hand, new emerging cloud paradigms like microservices and serverless computing have led…

Distinguished Seminar – David Horsley
"Systems Based on Ultrasonic MEMS: Commercialization and Future Directions " David Horsley Professor, University of California, Davis Adjunct Professor, University of California, Berkeley Abstract The increasing maturity of thin-film piezoelectric materials and the MEMS manufacturing ecosystem has enabled the rapid development of sensor systems based on piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (PMUTs). In this talk, I will describe work by my research group over the last decade to develop and commercialize PMUT-based systems for consumer electronics applications, starting with air-coupled PMUTs used for…
