ECE SEMINAR – NA LI

Hudson Hall 125

Recent radical evolution in distributed sensing, computation, communication, and actuation has fostered the emergence of cyber-physical network systems. Regardless of the specific application, one central goal is to shape the network's collective behavior through the design of admissible local decision-making algorithms. This is nontrivial due to various challenges such as local connectivity, system complexity and […]

CEE Seminar Bacterial Longevity

Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side A, room 1464

It is well known that bacteria can survive in a growth-arrested state for long periods of time, on the order of months or even years. How is such longevity possible? What is the molecular basis of such longevity? The physiology of fast-growing bacteria is well characterized, but relatively little is understood about how bacteria stay […]
