In Vitro Biological Neural Networks

EH 2430 Engineering Hall, University of California, Irvine, Irvine

DATE/TIME: Friday, October 18th, 2:00pm
SPEAKER: Prof. Lawrence Rauchwerger, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
In this presentation we outline a framework that leverages in-silico simulation to establish an engineering testbed with the ultimate goal of learning to harness neural in-vitro systems for computational purposes.

Storage-Centric Computing for Genomics and Metagenomics

DBH 4011 Donald Bren Hall, University of California, Irvine, Irvine

DATE/TIME: Thursday, October 17th, 3:00pm
SPEAKER: Nika Mansouri Ghiasi, ETH Zürich
The exponential growth of genomic data poses unprecedented challenges in genomics and metagenomic applications. These applications suffer from significant data movement overheads from the storage system. To fundamentally address these overheads, we make a case for storage-centric computing.

Dissecting the Software Supply Chain of Modern Industrial Control Systems

Zoom

DATE/TIME: Thursday, May 23rd, 10:00am
SPEAKER: Prof. Michail (Mihalis) Maniatakos, NYU Abu Dhabi
In this seminar, we will shed light to the security landscape of modern ICS, dissecting firmware from the dominant vendors and motivating the need of employing appropriate vulnerability assessment tools.
