MEAM Seminar: “Engineering Microdevices Using Atomic Layer Deposition and Electrowetting”
This talk will cover 1) devices created one atomic layer at a time and 2) electrowetting optical elements. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) and Atomic Layer Etching (ALE) are self-limiting processes that enable accurate atomic-scale thickness control either through deposition or etching of various materials. We are developing novel manufacturing processes that study how ALD materials […]
ESE & Statistics Seminar: “Large Neural Networks: Insights from Linearized Models”
Abstract: Modern machine learning models, and in particular multilayer neural networks, exhibit a broad range of puzzling phenomena. Their training requires to minimize a highly non-convex high-dimensional cost function, and yet it is efficiently addressed using simple gradient descent (GD) or stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithms. This model contains more parameters than the number of […]

September 18, 2019 -CBE Seminar: “Evolution of the Conformational-free Energy Landscapes of Proteins”
CBE Seminar: “Evolution of the Conformational-free Energy Landscapes of Proteins”
Abstract: One of the holy grails of drug-design is to obtain high-selectivity binding of a drug to the target protein, an extremely challenging endeavor for proteins that share high sequence and structural similarity. We investigate several systems of high biological importance to elucidate how selectivity emerged during evolution and how it can inform the design […]

September 20, 2019 -CIS Seminar: “What Society Must Require from AI”
CIS Seminar: “What Society Must Require from AI”
Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, especially machine learning (ML) programs, are now being employed or proposed for use in: a) scanning résumés to weed out job applicants; b) evaluating risks children face in their families; c) informing judicial decisions about bail, sentencing, and parole; d) diagnosing medical conditions, and not just classifying medical images; e) […]
