IEEE SSCS Houston Chapter Seminar: Low-power Cryo-CMOS Design for Quantum Computing Applications
IEEE SSCS Houston Chapter Seminar: Low-power Cryo-CMOS Design for Quantum Computing Applications
This talk will cover practical challenges for cryogenic CMOS designs for next-generation quantum computing. Starting from system level, it will detail the design considerations for a non-multiplexed, semi-autonomous, transmon qubit state controller (QSC) implemented in 14nm CMOS FinFET technology. The QSC includes an augmented general-purpose digital processor that supports waveform generation and phase rotation operations combined with a low-power current-mode single-sideband up-conversion I/Q mixer-based RF arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). Implemented in 14nm CMOS FinFET technology, the QSC generates control signals in its target 4.5GHz to 5.5 GHz frequency range, achieving an SFDR > 50dB for a signal bandwidth of 500MHz. With the controller operating in the 4K stage of a cryostat and connected to a transmon qubit in the cryostat’s millikelvin stage, measured transmon T1 and T2 coherence times were 75.7μs and 73μs, respectively, in each case comparable to results achieved using conventional room temperature controls. In further tests with transmons, a qubit-limited error rate of 7.76×10-4 per Clifford gate is achieved, again comparable to results achieved using room temperature controls. The QSC’s maximum RF output power is -18dBm, and power dissipation per qubit under active control is 23mW.

Detection and Diagnosis of Flight Anomalies in Small Unmanned Aerial Systems
Detection and Diagnosis of Flight Anomalies in Small Unmanned Aerial Systems
Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) must be monitored closely to identify, diagnose, and potentially mitigate flight problems as they arise. During the flight, the vast amounts of multivariate time series data typically generated by sUAS flight controllers can be complex to understand and analyze. While formal product documentation often provides example data plots with diagnostic suggestions, the sheer diversity of attributes, critical thresholds, and complex data interactions can be overwhelming to non-experts who subsequently seek help from discussion forums to interpret their data logs. Solutions based on deep learning or heuristics can be used to detect anomalies in different time-series data attributes. However, understanding and mitigating the root cause of flight problems based upon the combination of multiple detected data anomalies requires significant domain expertise. To address these challenges, this talk will present approaches that leverage deep learning and heuristic methods to detect anomalies in flight data, both for real-time and post-flight analysis. Additionally, it will explore how the combination of multiple detected anomalies can be utilized to diagnose the root cause of the flight issue. The solutions proposed aim to simplify the anomaly detection process while providing a more systematic approach for diagnosing complex flight behaviors.

EMBS: Wearable Sensing for Health and Performance
EMBS: Wearable Sensing for Health and Performance
[] Recent advances in digital health technologies are enabling biomedical researchers to reframe health optimization and disease treatment in a patient-specific, personalized manner. This talk will focus on my group’s research in two areas of relevance to digital health: (1) cardiogenic vibration sensing and analytics; and (2) musculoskeletal sensing with joint acoustic emissions and bioimpedance. Our group has extensively studied the timings and characteristics of cardiogenic vibration signals such as the ballistocardiogram and seismocardiogram, and applied these signals for quantifying filling pressures and volume status in the context of heart failure (volume overload) and hemorrhage (volume depletion). We have also leveraged miniature contact microphones to measure the sounds emitted by joints, such as the knees, during movement, and have examined how these acoustic characteristics are altered by musculoskeletal injuries and disorders (e.g., arthritis). We envision that these technologies can all contribute to improving patient care with lower cost and better outcomes.

Rena is interested in exploring human-centered design paradigms within Mixed/Augmented Reality and Human-robot interaction (HRI), and understanding what role MR/AR technology can, and should, play in HRI through an interdisciplinary lens. Moreover, Rena is interested in technology ethics, AI ethics, and technology policy, and wants to explore how research efforts may impact society at large. Presentation: Understanding Multi-modal communication in Multi-task context Abstract: Multiple Resource Theory suggests that the mind has largely distinct types of cognitive resources associated with different sensory modalities, with subdivisions along a number of other dimensions. In this work we explore how the modality of communication used by task guidance systems meant to assist in multi-task contexts interacts with the modality of underlying tasks to determine overall cognitive load and task performance. Our results suggest that users can strategically avoid overload by selectively attending to dimensions of multi-modal communication. Abolfazl Babanazari Colorado School of Mines PhD in Computer Science Abolfazl is a graduate student currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at the Colorado School of Mines under supervision of Kaveh Fathian. Abolfazl has prior experience working in the medical field on stereo systems and developing AR systems for surgical navigation. Abolfazl's research interests include Linear Algebra, Graph Theory, and Optimization, particularly in their applications to Robotics and Autonomy, such as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) and perception. Abolfazl is currently focusing on robust data association techniques from both a theoretical and practical aspect. Presentation: Global Point Cloud Registration in Structured Scenes Abstract: Point cloud registration, especially without an initial transformation, is crucial for many tasks in robotics and computer vision. When the corresponding parts of two point clouds are unknown, the solution search space grows exponentially with the size of the point clouds. A widely used approach to address this issue involves leveraging local surface properties around given points and matching these to corresponding points across point clouds. While effective, this technique struggles in environments with repetitive patterns, such as man-made structures, urban areas, or indoor settings, where point-based matching methods can generate associations with an extremely high outlier ratio. In this presentation, we explore the potential of using primitive mathematical shapes and the possibility of integrating them into existing Global Point-Based Registration (GPBR) algorithms. By reducing the number of associations and outlier ratio, this technique can significantly improve the accuracy and robustness of point cloud registration. Tanmay Desai Colorado School of Mines PhD student in Robotics Tanmay is a second-year PhD student in Robotics advised by Dr. Iris Bahar at the Colorado School of Mines. Tanmay is interested in exploring better motion planning algorithms and how can we utilize hardware accelerators specifically Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) to get power efficient and faster convergence to controls in stochastic environments. Presentation: Navigating the Energy Frontier: Efficient Motion Planning for Mobile Robots Abstract: Mobile robots often struggle with the computational demands of sampling-based motion planning algorithms. This research explores the potential of FPGAs as a more energy-efficient alternative to GPUs. By leveraging their parallel architecture and hardware-specific optimizations, FPGAs could significantly improve the performance-per-watt ratio of motion planning systems.
