Hardware-enabled biology: From hardware-acceleration to novel biological discoveries
Yatish Turakhia
PhD candidate, Electrical Engineering Department
Abstract Computer architecture and genomics offer starkly contrasting but synergistic trends. While genome sequencing data continues to rise exponentially (80%/year), transistor performance scaling has considerably slowed down (3%/year). Domain-specific acceleration (DSA), which uses specialized... Read More
CPSRC Seminar Series: Decentralized Control of Stochastic Dynamical Cyber-Physical Systems
Rahul Singh
Deep Learning Group Engineer
Abstract Many important cyber-physical systems of great current interest are decentralized, consisting of many agents, and uncertainties. Designing decentralized control policies is a challenging task because it involves inducing coordination amongst the controllers without knowing all... Read More
Defense: New tools for localizing ancestry across genomes of hybrids provide insight into the genetics of speciation
Nathan Schaefer
PhD Candidate (Advisor: Ed Green)
Abstract: Understanding the processes by which new species arise has long been of interest to evolutionary geneticists. In some cases, abrupt changes in habitat or niche can spur on a suite of adaptive changes in one population that help lead to its genetic isolation from others. In cases... Read More
