A 6 eV bandgap crystal used to be a textbook example of an electrical insulator. But today it has become possible to make pn diodes, transistors, LEDs, and lasers with ultrawide bandgap nitride semiconductors. In the first part of my talk, I will discuss how over the last 25 years, we have discovered a powerful […]
AlN has been ardently pursued as one of the most promising ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors (UWBGs) after GaN and SiC as the industry has been expanding rapidly on the high-volume manufacturing of GaN and SiC based technologies, including 12-inch GaN-on-Si, 8-inch SiC substrates and processing foundries etc. In this talk, I will present the findings in […]
Are you quantum curious? Join the Duke SPACE Initiative for Quantum 101- a conversation about quantum sensing with Professor Iman Marvian. Quantum sensing uses quantum states of atoms, photons, and engineered materials to push measurements beyond the limits of conventional sensors. This talk will introduce the basic principles behind leading quantum sensing platforms, including atomic […]
The ODE Summer Design Camp is an immersive biomedical engineering design experience. Over the course of five weeks, participants will learn about the engineering design process and use it to solve real-world problems through a series of design workshops, labs, and innovation sessions. This camp is a non-residential summer program for students from Durham and […]
Human health changes continuously through movement, speech, sleep, behavior, and environment, yet most medical AI still relies on episodic clinical measurements and retrospective records, missing how disease risk and functional decline emerge in everyday life. In this talk, I will show how this agenda spans a continuum from what people do, to what happens inside […]
: Immersive computing is emerging as a new computing paradigm that enables applications in domains such as healthcare, education, and training. However, developing practical immersive systems remains challenging due to the massive data volume of 3D content and the stringent latency and reliability requirements of interactive applications. In this talk, I will present my research […]
Abstract: The first part of this talk reviews the central role of response functions in single- and multiplescattering theories of light, together with the limitations imposed by their conventional formulation in the time-harmonic regime. I will then show how spectral expansions of response functions, and the closely related theory of Quasi-Normal Modes provide a natural […]
The Ignite Makers Program is a free program that runs from September through April each year for high school students. This program challenges students to use Human-Centered and Engineering Design processes to research problems related to the UN Global Goals of Clean Energy (Light Team), Clean Water (Water Team), or Good Health (Health Team). Students […]
Duke PhD students will present their research in 3 minutes. A panel of judges will score them on a rubric. The Top 10 finalists will compete for cash prizes on Aug. 4.
Robust Machine Learning (ML) is arguably the most important technical challenge of current times, to address growing concerns about misuse of AI, violations of data privacy and stealing of trained models. The problem is only exacerbated by lack of explainability for Machine Learning decisions juxtaposed with tremendous rate of adoption of AI across all industries. […]
