Thermal Analysis for Thermal Challenges with Heterogeneous Packaging Abstract: With the commercialization of thermoreflectance thermal imaging Microsanj has met many of the thermal challenges inherent with today’s advanced devices. The thermoreflectance principle exploits the fact that the reflectivity of a material changes with temperature. By measuring the reflectivity change with probing wavelengths in the visible […]

Sean Murphy will share the challenges and strategies of navigating the limits of intuitive understanding in the realms of engineering and entrepreneurship. It offers a roadmap for blending human expertise with automation, effective delegation, and the creation of a shared mission. Aiming to equip leaders and innovators with the tools to transform intuition into actionable […]

Abstract The field of speech processing is currently dominated by end-to-end (E2E) models, which utilize a single model to optimize directly towards the final objective function rather than optimizing multiple sub-models separately. This trend is particularly notable in automatic speech recognition (ASR). In this talk, we will provide an overview of E2E ASR models and […]

This workshop will have members learn to solder a kit in lab SRE 301. Agenda: [] Room: 301, Bldg: SRE, 5200 N Lake Rd, Merced, California, United States, 95343

This is a hybrid in-person and online event. Pre-registration is required for either. This talk is co-hosted by the (https://siliconvalleyhistory.com/) In this talk, which draws on her new book (https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/A/bo222008444.html), Katherine C. Epstein will explore a little-known but important chapter in the history of analog computing, and its surprising connections with today’s world of digital […]

Abstract: In this talk, we will dive on a journey into a decade of evolution of Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensing. In the last 10 years, ToF sensors have come a long way. Improvements include ranging from 10cm to 10m, from single zones to 2000 zones, and from simple sensors to complete systems with lenses and diffusers. […]

Cyber risks are not just technical issues; they are fundamental business challenges with profound financial and reputational implications. This keynote addresses the intersection of cybersecurity and business strategy, offering practical insights to help executives and business leaders prioritize and act on cyber risks in a meaningful way. Attendees will gain an understanding of how to […]

Synopsis: In the world of software and product development, making artifacts customizable for different needs is crucial. The research community has made great strides with the Universal Variability Language (UVL), a tool that helps define and manage these customizations. However, while UVL is helpful, it doesn't cover everything. This talk introduces a new concept called […]

General meetings have members divide into project groups. This meeting will have members work on the e-bike project. This is the last meeting before Spring Break.

What is a hazardous location (hazloc) and what products service these areas? The National Electrical Code (NEC), article 500 describes a hazloc as an area where the possibility of fire and/or explosion exists. These scenarios can be created with the presence of combustible gases, vapors, dust and/or ignitable fibers or flyings. Of course, an ignition […]

Uncover the secrets of the cosmos: what are the green patches on Mars? How do NASA spacecraft communicate with each other? And what was the final message of the Curiosity rover? Find the answers to these celestial mysteries—and more—at After Dark, plus our Open Question session exploring health tech with researchers from UC Davis. Open […]

We are going through a paradigm shift in how autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are deployed in marine robotics applications such as subsea inspection, monitoring, and surveillance. Despite significant developments across academia and industry in recent years, there remain many challenges and important research frontiers. This talk will highlight these challenging […]
