RICE Center Engineering Leadership Information & Networking Event In the digital revolution, all companies are or must become technology companies. And technology companies must hire and produce Industry 4.0 engineering manager leaders, if they are to modernize their engineering workforce and produce the best products and services. The Master of Engineering Management & Leadership (MEML)... Read more →

Abstract: Three-dimensional ultrasound is a powerful imaging technique, but it requires thousands of sensors and complex hardware. The discovery of compressive sensing has shown that the signal structure can be exploited to reduce the burden posed by traditional sensing requirements. In this talk, we will give an overview of how compressive sensing can be used... Read more →

Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) has emerged as a promising paradigm for addressing sequential optimization problems when the dynamics of the underlying systems are unknown. The primary objective in RL is to learn a policy that maximizes expected future rewards, or value functions. This is typically achieved through learning the optimal value functions or, alternatively, the... Read more →

This presentation provides the physical case for a conservative magnetic vector potential and magnetic vector potential in general as a physical quantity. The derivation of Lorenz Gauge and its present application will be reviewed. The application of Lorenz Gauge to derive the conservative magnetic vector potential is shown. When applied this way, Lorenz Gauge is... Read more →

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... Read more →
