Although recent decades have witnessed significant success in deploying robots and autonomous
systems in laboratory developments, manufacturing plants, transportation, and home applications,
the systems lack the intelligence and robustness to operate reliably in unstructured environments
and under adverse conditions. When humans…
Robotics has the capability to enhance human abilities in unparalleled
ways. The integration of advanced sensors and precise actuators has
established the foundation for robots to attain these capabilities, as
evidenced by their presence in factories and, in limited cases, in home
settings. Nevertheless, in unpredictable…
High-speed programmable switches allow network operators to run succinct,
customized algorithms to process individual packets, providing us a prime
opportunity to improve network performance and security. In my research, I
adopt approximation techniques to design algorithms that fit the switches’ strict
memory and computational…
Fundamental physical limitations have slowed down hardware scaling, thus ending the “free”
scaling benefits of processing power and storage capacity. At the same time, data is growing at an
unprecedented rate. This data juggernaut is highly disruptive. It morphs benign assumptions into
critical bottlenecks, and forces radical…
Abstract: Can we scale up biological circuit designs using CAD tools like we do for digital circuits? How would computer science education change if that were the case? Computational tools in research and education have immense potential to unlock new discoveries and provide a more engaging and inclusive learning experience. For…
In this talk, I will demonstrate the practical application and the
cognitive perception of data visualization in communication
through: (1) interactive systems I have built that explore the role of
data visualizations in clinical communication and (2) rhetoric
devices that are used to guide people's understanding of data…
ABSTRACT
The availability of vast, easily accessible information has broadened our outlook on the world. Social networks helped us foster community interactions. Advances in machine learning have enabled tremendous progress in many complex tasks. At the same time, however, surveillance capitalism commodified personal information,…
Abstract:
Online trust is becoming a central issue in modern society. Trusting fallacies can harm the wellbeing of individuals and society as a whole, especially during crises like COVID-19. During crises, the inconclusive, conflicting, and time-sensitive information created by varied sources and disseminated on diverse…
