Today

  • Security in Heterogeneous Systems

    EH 2430 Engineering Hall, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA, United States

    DATE/TIME: Monday, April 21, 11:00am
    SPEAKER: Yicheng Zhang, Ph.D. Candidate @ UC Riverside
    To improve the performance and efficiency of modern computing systems, architects increasingly adopt heterogeneous designs that tightly integrate specialized accelerators such as GPUs and FPGAs. In this talk, I will present my research efforts to uncover and mitigate security vulnerabilities in these heterogeneous platforms.

  • Efficient and Robust Defense against Query-based Black-box Attacks

    EH 2430 Engineering Hall, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA, United States

    DATE/TIME: Monday, May 19, 11:00am
    SPEAKER: Shaofei Li, Ph.D. @ Peking University
    In this talk, I will present our novel approach, Query Provenance Analysis (QPA), for defending against query-based black-box attacks robustly (against both non-adaptive and adaptive attacks) and efficiently (in real-time).

  • TEE-Shielded LLM Partition – Efficiently Protect Model Security on User Devices

    EH 2430 Engineering Hall, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA, United States

    DATE/TIME: Monday, May 19, 11:00am
    SPEAKER: Ziqi Zhang, Postdoc Researcher @ University of Illinois Urbane-Champaign
    In this talk, I will introduce recent work on TEE-based LLM protection (TSLP) on the user devices: TEESlice (S&P24) and ArrowCloak (Security25 revision).

  • Confidential Computing and Trusted Execution Environment: Challenges, Opportunities, and the Future

    EH 2430 Engineering Hall, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA, United States

    DATE/TIME: Monday, June 9, 11:00am
    SPEAKER: Mengyuan Li, Professor @ USC
    I will share my insights into two real-world vulnerabilities we uncovered within commercial Confidential Computing systems, along with our joint efforts with CPU manufacturers to address these issues in the latest server-grade CPUs.

  • Unleashing Multi-GPU Computing to the Next-Level

    EH 2430 Engineering Hall, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA, United States

    DATE/TIME: Wednesday, October 15, 2:00pm
    SPEAKER: Dr. Xulong Tang
    I will discuss novel techniques such as lightweight invalidations for page translation, short-circuiting page table walks, and multi-instance GPU (MIG) reconfiguration strategies that collectively deliver substantial performance and efficiency gains to overcome these bottlenecks and unleash the full potential of multi-GPU computing.

  • Autonomy on a Budget: Enabling Intelligent Monitoring Through Low-Cost Embedded Systems

    EH 2430 Engineering Hall, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA, United States

    DATE/TIME: Tuesday, November 4, 2:00pm
    SPEAKER: Dr. Prabha Sundaravadivel
    This talk presents recent advances in low-cost embedded autonomy, where edge AI, sensor fusion, and adaptive control enable real-time decision-making within compact, power-efficient platforms.

  • GOAL: An Industrially Validated Global Optimization Framework for Advanced Macro Placement in Semiconductor Design

    EH 2430 Engineering Hall, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA, United States

    DATE/TIME: Friday, February 13, 10:30am
    SPEAKER: Jooyoung Lee
    This talk presents a solution to build on a dedicated combinatorial-optimization engine that directly models the search space rather than relying on proxy rewards, advancing AI that can reliably solve the hardest optimization problems in semiconductor design and beyond.
