ECE Research Seminar Series: Dr. Jan Jeske, Quantum Sensing Group at Fraunhofer IAF

Laser-enhanced magnetometry (and other quantum sensing) with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centres in diamond Abstract: By integrating NV centres into a laser cavity and combining it with a second gain medium, we have achieved 100% contrast and 16mW of signal power in optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) read out via a laser signal instead of fluorescence. This...

  ISyE – From Dyads to Teams: Modeling Human Trust Dynamics and Behaviors in Human-Autonomy Interactions

January 26 @ 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
ISyE – From Dyads to Teams: Modeling Human Trust Dynamics and Behaviors in Human-Autonomy Interactions
Technology is evolving rapidly, and human interaction with autonomous technologies is no longer confined to one-to-one decision-support settings. Intelligent agents are increasingly working alongside groups of people in diverse contexts such as defense, transportation, and manufacturing. Consequently, there is a growing need to design trust- and behavior-aware adaptive agents that allow humans and autonomous systems...

  ISyE – Finding the needle in the haystack: How gradient descent converges to low-dimensional solutions in over-parameterized models.

ISyE – Finding the needle in the haystack: How gradient descent converges to low-dimensional solutions in over-parameterized models.
In contemporary machine learning, realistic models exhibit increasing nonconvexity and overwhelming overparameterization. This nonconvex nature often leads to numerous undesirable or "spurious" local solutions, while overparameterization exacerbates the risk of overfitting. Yet, simple “short-sighted” algorithms, such as gradient descent (GD) or its variants, often find the needle in the haystack: they converge to the correct,...

ISyE – Advancement of Large-Scale 3D Printing
Most advances for the integration of 3D printing (3DP) into production settings have focused on small-scale 3DP with manufacturing of components such as aerospace fuel nozzles, aircraft’s hydraulic components, and military hardware to name a few. But when it comes to large-scale applications 3DP research has been minimally explored. Defining large-scale 3DP as additive manufacturing...
