Security Engineering: Protecting People, Facilities, and Information in a Changing World We live in an increasingly volatile world and the need for security - and safety - is constantly changing. Security Engineering focuses on physical and technical security, protecting people/facilities/information, while insuring this security also includes essential elements of safety. Unfortunately the field of security engineering is seldom in the news (we don’t have a tv show about security engineers). So what is a security engineer and what do they do? This presentation will introduce the field of security engineering through a case study of the evolution of the technical and physical security programs at the US Department of State. Although security has always been an essential element of the Department of State, the role of Diplomatic Security Services has seen many changes over the years. The bombings of the Marine Barracks in Lebanon in the early 1980’s, the East African bombings in Africa in 1998, and “911” have all had a huge impact on the size and mission of DSS, and the need for security engineers continues to grow. But DSS is not the only organization that employees security engineers - so we will look at the skill sets necessary to be a security engineer as well as discuss the types of employees that would be interested in engineers with a familiarity of security engineering concepts.

This talk presents wave-based sensing and fast modeling methods spanning time-reversal acoustics, nonlinear piezoelectric tuning, and magneto-acoustic device physics. I describe a time-reversal acoustics (TRA) measurement system for detecting change events in complex environments where optical line-of-sight is blocked. The system detected both gross changes (e.g., removing an object from a dense “forest” of posts) and subtle tampering (e.g., material substitution), with sub-wavelength spatial sensitivity. Simulation tools revealed object and boundary interactions encoded in the time signals and quantified the impact of sensor geometry and boundary conditions on detection and localization. Second, we developed simulation capability to predict tuning in nonlinear RF devices, demonstrated voltage-controlled frequency tuning in X-cut lithium niobate (LN) on insulator, and created tools for nonlinear coupling analysis. A key outcome is capturing nonlinear effects with effective-medium properties, enabling applications such as real-time RF device temperature stabilization. Third, I motivate acoustically driven ferromagnetic resonance (ADFMR) for energy-efficient control of magnonic devices via magnetoelastic coupling driven by piezoelectric transducers. Lastly, I describe fast simulation approaches for magneto-acoustic devices using perturbation theory and a Stroh-formalism framework for efficient modeling of magnetoelastic layered media.

How to Build an 8-Core Hyperthreaded Monster Computer on a Budget It is hard to find a computer exactly the way that one wants and needs just sitting on the shelf in a store. Some companies offer custom made ones but with a price to match. Additionally, no one source has all of the things that one would want. Quality becomes another issue as most people shop with price as a major controlling factor so companies are parsimonious in procuring the components. Dr Morantz has combined his Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, and good common sense to build an 8-core hyperthreaded monster computer with strong performance and reliability while working within a financial budget to fits his own needs and desires. This presentation covers this project from design phase to completion. Advantages and disadvantages will be discussed along with sourcing and assembly tips. This whole project took several months and has been very rewarding, both in having the computer that is needed and wanted, and being a learning process. Much knowledge and experience was gained with this project. Dr Morantz will go through the steps explaining what he did and why.

We may make some auxiliary material such as slides and access to the recording available after the seminar to people who have registered. Abstract: What does “normal” look like in a system that grows, adapts, and scales at extraordinary speed? How do its underlying patterns shift as the network expands from its early days to a billion-fold increase in scale? In this seminar, Dr. Kepner will explore how advances in high-performance, privacy-preserving AI graph analysis tools open new windows into the Internet’s behavior. His work sheds light on emergence, structure, and stability within this constantly changing global system. Dr. Kepner will explain the deep connections between graphs and matrices and more general mathematical concepts of semirings and associative (token) arrays that are the foundations of modern large language model (LLM) agentic AI systems. These mathematical concepts form the basis of the high performance GraphBLAS sparse matrix standard and the D4M (Dynamic Distributed Dimensional Model) associative array library that can analyze the largest networks in the world while preserving privacy.

Cloud object storage systems achieve scalability and fault isolation by sharding metadata across independently managed domains. While most metadata operations naturally scale under this model, rename remains a fundamental challenge, as it requires atomicity and strong consistency across multiple metadata owners. This challenge is exacerbated when source and destination metadata reside in different shards, operate without shared storage, and cannot depend on global locks or global clocks. This talk presents the design of a distributed rename protocol for cloud-scale object storage systems, enabling atomic renames across independent metadata domains. The protocol models rename as a recoverable, multi-stage state machine rather than a monolithic transaction. It relies on explicit transaction tracking, shard-local invariants, and idempotent transitions, allowing failures and concurrent operations to safely drive in-progress renames toward completion or abort without centralized coordination.
