Professor Batalha’s research reveals the Universe to us, helping us better understand Earth’s origins and the possible future. Her research includes the detection and characterization of exoplanets and the study of exoplanet demographics. With the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, Professor Batalha has been leading international collaborations of hundreds of scientists to investigate what these exoplanets are composed of and how they formed. These are simply groundbreaking observations, and it is unlikely there will be another moment in the field like this for decades.

Modern AI systems demand low-latency high-quality retrieval and serving over billion-scale keys and vectors. This proposal studies learned hashing and overlay networks to co-locate semantically related items and steer queries with minimal coordination. We first present LEAD, to our knowledge the first use of order-preserving learned hash functions in distributed key-value overlays, enabling efficient range […]

Advances in sequencing technologies have enabled the recovery of genetic data from minimal, contaminated, and highly degraded samples, overcoming long-standing barriers in forensic analysis. Nevertheless, many evidentiary samples still yield poor-quality DNA that is unconducive to PCR amplification of short tandem repeats (STRs), microarray genotyping, or deep sequencing necessary for accurate, complete genotype calls. This […]
Presenter: Andy Wan, Assistant Professor, University of California, Merced Description: Many models from science and engineering possess fundamental structures which are important to preserve in order for accurate and stable long-term predictions. For instance, preserving conserved quantities, such as energy, mass and momentum, are fundamental in many physical systems. Moreover, preserving dissipative quantities, such as entropy […]
