Simulation of Metasurfaces Described by Generalized Sheet Transition Conditions Using Integral Equations Sebastian Celis Sierra, Ph.D. Student, Electrical and Computer Engineering Jul 23, 10:00 - 11:00 B3 L5 R5209 computational electromagnetics Metasurfaces three-dimensional This dissertation details the development of several novel integral equation solvers that incorporate Generalized Sheet Transition Conditions (GSTCs) to enable the accurate and computationally efficient simulation of complex, multiscale metasurfaces in three-dimensional problems. Hardware Centric Quantized Convolutional Neural Network and Algorithms Li Zhang, Ph.D. Student, Electrical and Computer Engineering Jul 24, 09:00 - 10:00 B3 L5 R5209 machine learning accelerators FPGA This thesis addresses the challenges of deploying quantized convolutional neural networks (QCNNs) on resource-constrained edge devices by proposing two novel hardware-software co-design frameworks: one for deriving lightweight, hardware-friendly models validated on FPGA, and another for hardware-aware mixed-precision quantization on compute-in-memory accelerators.
