Galan Moody and four Co-PIs step into the era thanks to a $1.15 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to purchase cutting-edge 3D printing technology From the Robert Mehrabian ...

Dissipative Kerr Soliton (DKS) microcombs have emerged as a future solution to bring metrological optical frequency comb (OFC) capabilities into a photonic integrated platform with mass-scale ...

Location: Harold Frank Hall (HFH), Room 4108 (ECE Conf. Rm.) AI has exposed an inconvenient truth: computation is no longer the bottleneck — memory is. Despite decades of aggressive scaling, modern ...

This seminar features short research talks covering a range of topics across AI, photonics, communications, control, and computing systems. Learn about ongoing work in the department and connect with ...

The South Coast’s emergence has come largely from cutting-edge companies clustering around the latest technologies, from computing and lasers to infrared radiation and space engineering. Many were ...

The success of Reinforcement Learning (RL) in dexterous, contact-rich manipulation has left much to be understood from a model-based perspective, where key challenges include (i) locally, the hybrid, ...

Efficient video compression relies heavily on accurate block prediction and effective frame reconstruction, both of which depend on statistical models that capture the characteristics of the encoded ...

Three short talks by UCSB PhD students Roark Chao, Poorva Shukla, and Abdelrahman S. Abdelrahman presenting a wide array of ECE topics from photonics to dynamical systems to quantum algorithms. All ...

Radio frequency (RF) transmitters and receivers contain multiple nonideal hardware components. In modern transceiver architectures, understanding their behavior and properties is essential for ...

Tremendous progress is being made at silicon photonic foundries around the world to improve the performance, yield and capability of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and that is opening up new ...

In this talk, I discuss why computer designers are looking to develop novel ways of computing for a variety of common but specialized tasks, why spintronic devices, particularly magnetic tunnel ...

Silicon nitride has become a widely used material platform for photonic integrated circuits (PICs), due to its broad optical transparency window (400 nm – 2.5 μm), relatively high refractive index, ...
