Location: Harold Frank Hall (HFH), Room 4110B (ECE Conf. Rm.) Accurately modeling friction in robotics remains a core challenge, as robotics simulators like Mujoco and PyBullet use simplified friction ...

Abstract Photonics information processing strategies offer the unique ability to perform analog computation with ultra-low latency and high efficiency. However, designing compact and reconfigurable ...

Collecting 3D microstructural information of materials poses significant challenges, being a process that is time-consuming and expensive. While advancements in serial sectioning instrumentation have ...

Generative AI offers the potential to empower autonomous robots with the ability (i) to connect abstract concepts to 3D scene geometry and (ii) to enable complex intention prediction and collaboration ...

In this talk, I discuss why computer designers are looking to develop novel ways of computing for a variety of common but specialized tasks, why spintronic devices, particularly magnetic tunnel ...

With an influx of many new communication and computation technologies, many systems that once existed in isolation now interact and form the basis of large multi-agent systems (e.g., fleets of ...

Gallium Nitride (GaN) high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) offer significant advantages in microwave power applications, yet their scaling for high power in millimeter-wave (mmW) bands presents ...

The achievement award is selected by SoCalBio Innovation Catalysts Program members. The Southern California Biomedical Council is a nonprofit, member supported trade association that supports and ...

Emerging high-frequency technologies such as satellite communication, 5G telecommunication, and autonomous vehicles necessitate the development of mm-wave power amplifiers. In this work, performance ...

Three short talks by UCSB PhD students Roark Chao, Poorva Shukla, and Abdelrahman S. Abdelrahman presenting a wide array of ECE topics from photonics to dynamical systems to quantum algorithms. All ...

Large-scale autonomous systems are those with many components that act based on individual preferences. No component can access all information within the system, due to time or computation ...

In the past decades, most telecom, datacom, and sensor systems have been developed based on discrete optical components. As the demand for data transfer is rapidly rising, the need to reduce cost, ...
