Anticipated Growth in Birck User Community
by Turner, Jaime J 20 Apr '21

20 Apr '21

Sent on behalf of Ron Reger Dear Birck Faculty Colleagues, We are anticipating solid growth in our Birck user community starting mid-Summer and extending into Fall semester. We are seeing signs of increased graduate student enrollment, more visiting scholars & post-docs, and other new researchers who want to do process and analytical work here at Birck. We would like to stay ahead of the curve by planning training resources to handle this possible increase in the number of Birck users. If we know roughly when new people are coming, and how many, we can adjust our training schedules to offer more sessions to quickly and efficiently work them through the training and orientation process. So if you're planning for new users to join your research groups I'd appreciate a quick email back to me stating when (which month) and how many users you're planning to bring on, starting in July. We can then start scheduling additional sessions, and this will also help balance our cross training plans for maximum efficiency. Thanks very much! Ron

Webinar by Prof. Kanad Basu, UT Dallas on "Anti-virus hardware: Exploring the new domain in system security"
by Gupta, Sumeet Kumar 11 Apr '21

11 Apr '21

Hello It is my great pleasure to host Prof. Kanad Basu, University of Texas, Dallas for his talk in the ECE Seminar Series. The details are below and attached. Hope to see you in the seminar. Thanks Sumeet When: April 15, 2021 (Thursday), 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM (ET) Where: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/3164232249 Title: Anti-virus hardware: Exploring the new domain in system security. Abstract: Anti-virus software (AVS) tools are used to detect Malware in a system. However, software-based AVS are vulnerable to attacks. A malicious entity can exploit these vulnerabilities to subvert the AVS. Recently, hardware components such as Hardware Performance Counters (HPC) have been used for Malware detection. In this talk, we will discuss HPC-based techniques for improving system security and privacy. Subsequently, we will discuss their pitfalls. Finally, we will present PREEMPT, a zero overhead, high-accuracy and low-latency technique to detect Malware by re-purposing the embedded trace buffer (ETB), a debug hardware component available in most modern processors. The ETB is used for post-silicon validation and debug and allows us to control and monitor the internal activities of a chip, beyond what is provided by the Input/Output pins. PREEMPT combines these hardware-level observations with machine learning-based classifiers to preempt Malware before it can cause damage. We will conclude the talk with future research directions and challenges. Speaker Bio: Kanad Basu received his Ph.D. from the department of Computer and Information Science and Engineering, University of Florida. His thesis was focused on improving signal observability for post-silicon validation. Post-PhD, Kanad worked in various semiconductor companies like IBM and Synopsys. During his PhD days, Kanad interned at Intel. Currently, Kanad is an Assistant Professor at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of the University of Texas at Dallas, where he leads the Trustworthy and Intelligent Embedded Systems (TIES) lab. Prior to this, Kanad was an Assistant Research Professor at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of NYU. He has authored 1 book, 2 US patents, 2 book chapters and several peer reviewed journal and conference articles. Kanad was awarded the ”Best Paper Award” at the International Conference on VLSI Design 2011. Several News agencies have covered his research including NBC Austin and CBS Dallas-Fort Worth. Kanad’s current research interests are hardware and systems security as well Deep learning hardware.

Webinar by Dr. Shriram Raghunathan, Noctrix Health Inc. on '“Needs-based” innovation: The DNA of successful medical device development'
by Gupta, Sumeet Kumar 07 Apr '21

07 Apr '21

Hello It is my great pleasure to host Dr. Shriram Raghunathan, President and CEO, Noctrix Health, Inc. for his talk in the ECE Seminar Series. The details are below and attached. Hope to see you in the seminar. Please note a change in the time for this talk. Thanks Sumeet When: April 8, 2021 (Thursday), 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM (ET) Where: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/3164232249 Title: “Needs-based” innovation: The DNA of successful medical device development Abstract: Billions of dollars have been invested into the healthcare sector by some of the most innovative companies in the tech world with very limited success in terms of outcomes. In this talk, Shriram walks through the crux of why staying laser focused on the “unmet need” differentiates successful medtech innovation from innovation in the consumer electronics and tech space. A one-line “Need Statement” can make all the difference between success and failure- with an overview of Stanford University’s Biodesign teachings and real-world examples from medical observations to case studies the talk will focus on how this model might have applications to innovation in other fields as well. The interactive session also aims to share learnings and observations on a journey from academia into industry and entrepreneurship. Speaker Bio: Shriram Raghunathan is an alumnus of Purdue’s BME program and graduated with a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering in 2010. His doctoral research involved design and implementation of subthreshold signal processing algorithms on-board implants to develop responsive neurostimulation devices. He has since worked extensively in the medical device industry, designing implantable neurostimulators to treat epilepsy, depression and cardiac conditions for publicly traded companies and startups alike. Most recently, he was a fellow at Stanford University’s Biodesign Fellowship, a unique program focused on training engineers and physicians in medical device innovation. Out of Stanford Biodesign, he founded Noctrix Health with a mission to develop wearable neurostimulation therapies prescribed as an alternative to pharmaceuticals and currently serves as its President and CEO. Shriram is based out of the San Francisco Bay Area and spends time outside work woodworking and enjoying the great outdoors that Northern California has to offer.
