  • Zhao, Z. (CSE) – TOWARD VERIFIABLE REASONING IN LLMS

    Silicon Valley Campus 3175 Bowers Avenue, Santa Clara, CA, United States
    Hybrid Event

    Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting can improve final-answer performance, but it does not guarantee that intermediate reasoning steps are faithful, valid, or checkable. This proposal studies how formal methods can make natural-language reasoning more reliable by translating CoT rationales into Lean artifacts, checking the resulting theorem statements and proofs, and using compiler feedback to diagnose and repair […]

  • Krishnaswamy, L. (CSE) – Network Load Balancing for Geographically Distributed Datacenters

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

    As datacenters scale up and become more geographically distributed, wide-area network inter-datacenter traffic, which typically consists of data-heavy tasks, has become increasingly prevalent. Some of the noteworthy challenges raised by the coexistence and interaction between inter- and intra-datacenter traffic are the differences in their QoS requirements, link utilization, and round-trip times. To the best of […]

  • Aliamooei Lakeh, S. (ECE) – Optimization and Decision-Support Frameworks for Resilient Power Systems Under Large-Scale Electrification

    Virtual Event

    The rapid electrification of transportation is creating new interdependencies between power and transportation systems, particularly during extreme events and disasters. As electric vehicle (EV) adoption increases, evacuation-related charging demand, infrastructure disruptions, and limited access to energy resources introduce challenges that conventional power system planning and operation frameworks were not designed to address. Wildfires provide a […]

  • Nikolakakis, M. (ECE) – Learned Gridless Representations of Cone Beam Computed Tomography Scans

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

    Medical image representation has long been dominated by voxel-grid matrices. While their inherent structure and order work efficiently for various linear transformations and provide a seamless visualization method on monitors, they fail to preserve the topology of the scan and to encode sparse information in a memory-efficient way.   The recent emergence of machine learning-based continuous coordinate-based […]

    This thesis explores iterative methods for solving elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs), which are used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model a wide range of physical phenomena. The primary application of interest here is self-gravity, modeled by Poisson’s equation. Although many numerical approaches exist, including direct matrix inversion, FFT-based methods, and classical iterative methods […]
