SUMMARY:ESE & GRASP Seminar: "Efficient Computing for AI and Robotics"
DESCRIPTION:Computing near the sensor is preferred over the cloud due to privacy and/or latency concerns for a wide range of applications including robotics/drones\, self-driving cars\, smart Internet of Things\, and portable/wearable electronics. However\, at the sensor there are often stringent constraints on energy consumption and cost in addition to the throughput and accuracy requirements of the application. In this talk\, we will describe how joint algorithm and hardware design can be used to reduce energy consumption while delivering real-time and robust performance for applications including deep learning\, computer vision\, autonomous navigation/exploration and video/image processing. We will show how energy-efficient techniques that exploit correlation and sparsity to reduce compute\, data movement and storage costs can be applied to various tasks including image classification\, depth estimation\, super-resolution\, localization and mapping.

SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "Tribofilms at the Asperity Scale"
DESCRIPTION:The presentation will start with an introduction to tribology. This term was first used in a 1965 UK government report which identified the economic loss due to preventable wear and poor friction performance. It helped bring together the diverse community of engineers and scientists that need to collaborate in order to tackle the complex interactions that are central to friction and wear processes. The introduction will conclude with a brief overview of lubricant technology and the associated scope of research themes that support development of new lubricants. \nThe core topic will cover recent advances in our understanding of the formation of the lubricant generated boundary or tribofilms that help control friction and wear processes. Our approach has been to develop new methods and tools that allow us to study the interaction of materials\, surface morphology\, stress and chemical reactivity at the asperity scale within macro scale lubricated rough surface sliding contacts. Highly detailed surface topography\, surface elemental analysis and rough surface contact simulation results\, obtained from carefully controlled wear experiments\, have been mapped onto common asperity scale grids. The results clearly establish that tribofilms initiate very quickly at localized high stress contact spots within the overall macro scale contact footprint. Complementary work in high stress but well separated sliding contacts shows that direct surface contact is not necessarily required to generate surface films. Both sets of experimental results are consistent with stress augmented surface reaction mechanisms that are now being studied by multiple researchers in this field. These developments have shed considerable light on mechanisms that have been elusive for more than 50 years which are key to the performance of lubricants. \nFinally some thoughts on future challenges in tribology and lubrication will be offered. A recent study sponsored by the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE) has identified key science and technology\, industry\, regulatory and global trends that will impact lubrication and tribology. These include increasing electrification of personal vehicles\, new and emerging energy sources and the role that tribology plays in enabling new technology development.

SUMMARY:MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: "Coarse-graining of Atomistic Models to the Continuum Scale with Applications to Elastodynamics and Diffusive Processes"
DESCRIPTION:Nonequilibrium phenomena are ubiquitous in nature as well as industrial applications. However\, their modeling and simulation faces a strong compromise between physical fidelity and computational efficiency\, with atomistic simulations and continuum descriptions lying towards the two ends of this spectrum. \nIn this dissertation we will first revisit several continuum modeling strategies for the formulation of nonequilibrium evolution equations\, and show by means of an example\, inconsistencies that can arise between the various formalisms. This example will serve as a motivation for developing coarse-graining strategies that can directly link atomistic and continuum models in the context of reversible and irreversible evolutions. With regard to reversible phenomena\, we will present an upscaling scheme that provides a new angle to the classical thermodynamic description of the elastodynamics of solids at finite temperature as the spatio-temporal continuum limit of atomistic Hamiltonian dynamics. This scheme identifies suitable macroscopic (slow) variables and provides its effective equations of motion via elimination of the fast degrees of freedom in the limit of infinite time/space scale separation. In addition\, it provides highly intuitive mathematical explanations to various well-known thermodynamic relations. For purely irreversible processes\, a novel coarse-graining strategy is proposed that numerically delivers the entire continuum evolution equation (and not just parameters therein) from particle fluctuations via an infinite-dimensional fluctuation-dissipation relation. The methodology is exemplified for a diffusion process with known analytical solution\, where an excellent agreement is obtained for the density evolution. Finally\, as an outlook\, data-driven techniques are explored to gain understanding in irreversible structural transformations in colloidal crystallites.

SUMMARY:ESE Seminar: "Caching and Coding in Networks: Rate Efficiency\, Age Efficiency"
DESCRIPTION:Caching is of primary importance in the Internet-of-Things (IoT) and in particular in information-centric network (ICN) architectures where the focal point is content rather than where it can be retrieved from. As a result\, in ICN networks one can replicate and store (or cache) content at various nodes throughout the network so that it can be accessed faster locally without burdening the server and the global network. Traditionally\, caching has been studied on the network layer and its role is to bring content close to the end users. However\, it is now known that the role of caching is beyond storing portions of data. \nIn this talk\, we undertake a holistic approach to cache-aided broadcast networks and show how smart cache design facilitates coding opportunities on the physical layer\, leading to scalable gains in rate and latency. We next address several practical aspects of caching networks by introducing the framework of “caching on the fly” where nodes can cache overheard packets. Identifying simple but efficient coding actions\, we devise policies that schedule coding actions (as opposed to traditional schemes that schedule different users). Within this framework\, we design schemes that are practical\, low complexity\, robust to dynamics of network statistics\, and efficient not only in traditional measures of rate and latency\, but also in new performance measures such as age of information.
