Organic Nervetronics: Neuromorphic Bioelectronics

Seminar Speaker
Tae-Woo Lee, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Seoul National University

Organic nervetronics is a new field of neuroprosthetics in which electrophysiological signals are relayed by the organic artificial synapses and artificial neurons instead of damaged nerves in the body. Artificial synapses and neurons can emulate the functions of biological sensorimotor  nerves with electric circuits integrated with sensors and actuators. Herein organic electronics emerged as attractive candidates for composing nervetronics based on easy tunability of material properties, good solution processability, and biocompatibility.

Emerging Computational Imaging Inverse Problems: From Theory to Algorithms

Seminar Speaker
Dr. Shirin Jalali, ECE, Rutgers University

In this talk, I will focus on two challenging imaging systems: snapshot compressive imaging and coherent imaging under speckle noise interference. I will begin by reviewing the core mathematical modeling of the inverse problem corresponding to each system. I will develop a maximum likelihood estimator (MLE)-based optimization for each, employing untrained neural networks (NNs) to model the source structure.

Luminescent Photonic Metamaterials and Devices from THz to Optical Frequencies

Seminar Speaker
Qing Gu, ECE and Physics, North Carolina State University

A crucial yet unavailable component in high-performance photonic integrated circuits (ICs) and other chip-scale photonic systems is an on-chip light source that is efficient, economical, IC-compatible, and electronically addressable. In this talk, I will cover several types of on-chip sources, including III-V nanoLEDs and topologically protected microlasers, perovskite microlasers and luminescent hyperbolic metamaterials, and III-N spintronic THz emitters. I will also discuss emerging applications of these metamaterials and devices, such as photonic neuromorphic networks.

The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department traces its roots back to the establishment of the Applied Electrophysics department in 1965, under its founding chair Henry Booker. Through a succession of department realignments emerged today’s ECE in 1987, when the then-combined Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department was split into two departments. Since then, ECE has earned a world-class reputation for producing top-notch engineers for industry and academia.
