Advancing Monitoring Capabilities: The Role of Wearable Sensors in Advancing Healthcare, Environmental, and Marine Studies Khaled Salama, Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering Apr 5, 12:00 - 13:00 B9 R2325 This talk examines the transformative impact of wearable sensor technologies across healthcare, environmental monitoring, and marine biology. Device-Level Intelligence for Adaptive Sensing and Bio-Integrated Systems Nazek El-Atab, Assistant Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering Apr 5, 14:00 - 15:30 B9 R2322; Zoom Meeting 98963676259 in-memory sensing In-memory computing neuromorphic devices Advanced Sensing electronics Inspired by biological sensory systems, this talk presents our efforts toward neuromorphic sensing, where these functions are integrated within the same device using multifunctional memory technologies. DePIN: From Decentralization Promise to Security Reality - A Critical Dissection of Trust, Privacy, and Architectural Illusions Roberto Di Pietro, Professor, Computer Science Apr 6, 12:00 - 13:00 B9 R2325 privacy preserving techniques cybersecurity Web and Network security DePIN Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks VPNs dVPNs computer networking decentralized infrastructure systems In this talk, we critically examine DePIN systems through the lens of two complementary studies. First, we provide a systematic analysis of the DePIN paradigm, identifying its core architectural pillars - blockchain, IoT, and tokenomics - and exposing fundamental vulnerabilities arising from operating in a zero-trust, open-participation environment. Statistical Modeling of Financial Extremes and Volatility Dynamics Junshu Jiang, Ph.D. Student, Statistics Apr 6, 14:00 - 17:00 B2 R5220 Quantitative finance Statistical Modeling extreme events numerical analysis This thesis provides comprehensive statistical tools for understanding and modeling extreme risks and volatility dynamics in financial markets.
