Sheaves, T. (CSE) – Timing Side-Channels in Commercial ReRAM: Toward ReRAM Pentimenti

Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz
Hybrid Event

Recently, a class of non-invasive hardware side-channel attacks has been discovered in field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). These attacks extract remnants of prior users’ activity that persist as transistor defect states within reconfigurable routing resources. These remnants are known as FPGA Pentimenti. Resistive random-access memory (ReRAM) is a compelling candidate for pentimenti-like attacks beyond FPGAs. However, […]

Figuerres, S. (ECE) – Ion Transport Mechanisms for Bioelectronics

Jack Baskin Engineering Baskin Engineering 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz

Ion transfer as the movement of charged species across spaces and interfaces is the basis of signaling in nearly all biological systems. My research is grounded in the idea that precise control over ion transfer enables direct manipulation of biological function. Specifically, I focus on how ion transport can be engineered to regulate both collective […]

Bose, S. (ECE) – Learning-Augmented Optimization, Control, and Inference in Modern Power Systems

Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz
Hybrid Event

The electric grid is essential to modern society, and recent developments such as renewable energy sources (RESs), battery energy storage systems (ESSs), and microgrids (MGs) have necessitated novel computational methods for planning and operations. Machine learning offers a promising lever here, both as an accelerator for and proxy to traditional optimization-based problems. In this thesis, […]
