ASSET Seminar: “When do spectral gradient updates help in deep learning?”
Spectral gradient methods, such as the recently popularized Muon algorithm, are a promising alternative to standard Euclidean gradient descent for training deep neural networks and transformers, but it is still […]
ESE Ph.D. Dissertation Defense: “Non-Hermitian-Driven Photonic Switching––Ultrafast Routing and Robust Power Transfer”
This dissertation explores non-Hermitian control as a unified framework for photonic switching and reconfigurable light routing. First, by harnessing gain–loss modulation and parity–time symmetry breaking in hybrid III–V/silicon platforms, a […]
Spring 2026 GRASP SFI: Jiafei Duan, University of Washington, “Building Robotics Foundation Models with Reasoning in the Loop”
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT Recent advances in generative AI have demonstrated the power of scaling: large […]
CBE Seminar: “Discovery of Plant Derived Cell-Penetrating Peptides for Agricultural Bioengineering” (Henry Squire, UC Berkeley) [FACULTY CANDIDATE]
Abstract: Bioengineering of plants is critical to agriculture, molecular farming, and bio-commodities. However, current tools for bioengineering plants are limited in throughput, applicable to a narrow set of species, or […]
