ECE 290 Seminar: High-Frequency Circuits for Next-Generation Communication: From Beyond-5G mm-Wave MIMO to Co-Packaged Optics

Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz

Presenter: Susnata Mondal, Research Scientist, Intel Description: Rapid growth in wireless connectivity, cloud computing, and AI infrastructure is driving an urgent need for communication systems that can deliver higher data rates with improved energy efficiency. Meeting these demands requires advances in high-frequency circuit design across both wireless and wireline domains, spanning millimeter-wave radios to optical […]

AM Seminar: Multiscale Modeling of Cellular Membranes and Oncogenic Proteins

Presenter: Liam Stanton, Professor, San Jose State University Description: In this talk, I will present a multiscale model for cellular membranes, which is trained on molecular dynamics simulations. The model is constructed within the formalism of dynamic density functional theory and can be extended to include features such as the presence of proteins and membrane […]

Statistics Seminar: Rotated Mean-Field Variational Inference and Iterative Gaussianization

Presenter: Sifan Liu, Assistant Professor, Department of Statistical Science, Duke University Description:Mean-field variational inference (MFVI) approximates a target distribution with a product distribution in the standard coordinate system, offering a scalable approach to Bayesian inference but often severely underestimating uncertainty due to neglected dependence. We show that MFVI can be greatly improved when performed along […]
