Dr. David Love - On the (Old) Use of Imperfect Feedback in AWGN and Fading Channels
February 11, 2010 3:00 PM
[ February 11, 2010 3:00PM, 277 Fitzpatrick Hall] Perfect channel output feedback in additive noise channels has been shown to provide large reductions in the probability of error. Noise in the feedback channel, however, can cause a number of issues. In this talk, we first look at the application...
Dr. Chih Chun Wang - On the Capacity of Practical Wireless 2-Hop Relay Networks with Intersession Network Coding
February 11, 2010 3:30 PM
[ February 11, 2010 3:30PM, 277 Fitzpatrick Hall] Full characterization of Intersession Network Coding (INC), i.e., coding across multiple unicast sessions, is notoriously challenging. Nonetheless, the problem can be made tractable when considering practical constraints that restrict the types of...
Dr. Joerg Appenzeller - Graphene field-effect transistors
February 12, 2010 2:00 PM
[ February 12, 2010 2:00PM, 319 Debartolo Hall] My presentation will be divided in two main sections. In the first part of my talk I will explain the advantages of graphene for electronic applications from a device physicist’s prospective. I will present a simple argument why graphene...
Dr. Magnus Egerstedt - Control of Networked, Multi-Robot Systems
February 19, 2010 2:00 PM
[ February 19, 2010 2:00PM, 258 Fitzpatrick Hall] Arguably, the overarching scientific challenge facing the area of networked robot systems is that of going from local rules to global behaviors in a predefined and stable manner. In particular, issues stemming from the network topology imply that...
Dr. Bertrand Hochwald - What Have We Learned So Far About MIMO in Mobile Wireless Systems?
February 22, 2010 3:00 PM
[ February 22, 2010 3:00PM, 258 Fitzpatrick Hall] Fourth-generation mobile wireless multiuser systems such as WiMax are now being deployed with multiple-antennas at both the transmitter and receiver. These multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) deployments are modest in the number of antennas...
Dr. Scott Howard - Multiphoton Microscopy
February 26, 2010 3:00 PM
[ February 26, 2010 3:00PM, 258 Fitzpatrick Hall] Multiphoton microscopy (MPM) has become a widespread research tool for three dimensional imaging of optically thick biological tissue. By exciting extrinsic fluorophores, intrinsic autofluorescence, and intrinsic coherent non-linear optical...
