  ECE Seminar: A Modular Platform for Nanopower Computing

  Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

  3:00 PM L440, Technological Institute

  EVENT DETAILS

  Speaker: Pat Pannuto

  University of California, San Diego

  Hosted by Assistant Professor Josiah Hester

  Beyond the Internet of Things that is emerging today lies the Internet of
  Everything—the vision of ubiquitous and pervasive computing, of a digital
  sensory layer enveloping the world. Realizing this vision relies on expanding
  our capability to place computation in the wild, to then network these
  sensors, to manage them, and most challengingly, to power them.

  This talk is about a suite of solutions working in concert to usher in the
  nanopower computing class. We will discuss architectural innovations that
  enable power oblivious operation and modular design for millimeter-scale
  devices. Next, we will look at how to bring multiprocessing, safety, and
  resource isolation to the deeply embedded computing class. Then, we will
  consider the some of services, in particular localization, necessary to make
  pervasive computers useful and viable. Finally, we will look toward the
  future, with an eye towards what technical challenges remain and how our
  interactions with computational infrastructure will change as we realize the
  ubiquitous computing vision.

  Pat Pannuto is currently completing his PhD in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley and will be joining the Computer Science Department at the University of California, San Diego this winter. He received his MSE in Computer Science and BSE in Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan. Pat's research is in the broad area of networked embedded systems, with contributions to computer architecture, wireless communications, mobile computing, operating systems, and development engineering. Pat's work has been recognized as a Top Pick in Computer Architecture and selected as a Best Paper Finalist at IPSN, and has been awarded NSF, NDSEG, and Qualcomm Innovation fellowships. Pat has also received teaching awards from the Computer Science Department, the College of Engineering, and the Rackham Graduate School at the University of Michigan.

  Extending Care: A Conversation about Conservation and Futurity

  Block Museum of Art

  6:00 PM Block Museum of Art, Mary and Leigh

  EVENT DETAILSmore info

  The Center for Scientific Studies in the Arts is a collaboration between the Art Institute of Chicago and materials science-related departments at Northwestern University to pursue objects-based and objects-inspired scientific research. Materials research benefits ongoing work in conservation, archaeology, art history, and curatorial scholarship.

  Learn how the Center uses materials research to care for art objects in sustainable, innovative ways with Maria Kokkori, Senior Scientist in the Center for Scientific Studies in the Arts. She will be in conversation with Corey Byrnes, Northwestern Associate Professor of Chinese Culture and co-founder/co-director of the Environmental Humanities Workshop in Kaplan Humanities Center.

  This event is presented by the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science in conjunction with exhibition Actions for the Earth: Art, Care & Ecology.
