Upcoming Events

Structuring Sound and Vibration by Metasurfaces

-

B9 L2 R2325

This seminar provides an overview of recent research on acoustic and elastic metasurfaces and metamaterials, covering their fundamentals, applications in wave and vibration control, including low-frequency absorption, BIC physics, and phonic skyrmions.

Perturbation Methods in PDE: from Heuristics to Breakthroughs in Regularity Theory - Part 1

-

B1 L3 R3119

This mini-course presents a powerful perturbative framework tailored to tackle critical regularity issues in nonlinear diffusion PDE.

Topological Phenomena in Artificial Materials

-

B1 L3 R3119

This talk will cover the design and realization of novel topological states and effects in acoustic artificial materials, focusing on higher-order topological states, non-Hermitian physics, and acoustic spin- and orbital angular momentum-related topological phenomena.

Carrier- and Trap-Resolved Photo-Hall Effect: Unlocking the 145-Year-Old Secret in Hall Effect

-

B5 L5 R5209

This seminar introduces the "carrier and trap resolved photo-Hall effect," a novel technique extending the classic Hall effect via a simple hyperbola equation to reveal majority/minority carrier properties and trap dynamics, unifying multiple physical excitations for enhanced semiconductor characterization.

Nonlocal Degenerate PDEs: Bridging Free Boundary Problems and Critical-point Models

-

Building 1, Level 3, Room 3426

This talk explores a new class of PDEs featuring nonlocal degeneracies. Our framework unifies two classical scenarios — free boundary problems and critical-point degenerate PDEs; both are recast as local extrema models in our formulation.

The Internet of Fiber-Optic Things and Smart Sensing

-

B1 L3 R3119

This dissertation introduces the Internet of Fiber-Optic Things (IoFOT)—a new concept where a single optical fiber handles data, power, and smart sensing simultaneously. Demonstrated applications include pipeline monitoring and marine life tracking, paving the way for the development of a worldwide smart observation network.

Signal Alignment: a Practical Way to Communicate Under Unpredictable Interference

-

B1 L3 R3119

This talk introduces a practical method for reliable wireless communication amidst interference by using packet repetition and multi-antenna reception to achieve signal alignment, enabling packet recovery through geometric subspace intersection even against adversarial jammers.

Perturbation Methods in PDE: from Heuristics to Breakthroughs in Regularity Theory - Part 2

-

B1 L3 R3119

This mini-course presents a powerful perturbative framework tailored to tackle critical regularity issues in nonlinear diffusion PDE.

Data–Driven Mining of Causal Disease Relations to Enhance Disease Centric Predictions

-

B4 L5 R5209

This thesis develops a framework to extract and leverage inter-disease causal relations from biomedical literature, thereby advancing disease-centric predictions, enhancing our understanding of disease mechanisms, and demonstrating the potential for causal knowledge-guided therapeutic discovery.

The Signed Translation Transformed Depth: Order, Quantiles, Spread, Skewness, and Quantile Regression for Multivariate Functional Data

-

B9 L2 R2325

This seminar introduces the Signed Translation transformed Depth (STtD), a novel interpretable ordering method for multivariate functional data, which enables enhanced distributional analysis, the definition of descriptive tools, and a flexible vine copula-based quantile regression framework.

FMCW Radar Applications for Automotive and Biomedical Applications

-

B1 L3 R3119

This dissertation enhances Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar effectiveness for automotive forward-looking Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging and biomedical vital sign and dehydration monitoring by developing novel methodologies based on advanced signal processing, deep learning, and MIMO radar techniques.

Perturbation Methods in PDE: from Heuristics to Breakthroughs in Regularity Theory - Part 3

-

B1 L4 R4102

This mini-course presents a powerful perturbative framework tailored to tackle critical regularity issues in nonlinear diffusion PDE.
