This presentation will discuss the challenges designing and testing highly integrated low cost SOC products for the 60GHz band. Products discussed include a high data rate SOC with phased array front-end and a high resolution short range radar SOC. Topics will include radio architecture overview, self- calibration, designing for reliability and testing challenges.

Increasingly, objects—previously unidentified as requiring networked communications—are becoming a part of what is known as the “Internet of Things (IoT)”.  On the battlefield, future warfighter operations and missions will rely more heavily on networked devices designed with autonomous cognitive decision-making capabilities to perform a broad range of tasks, including cognitive sensing, communicating with human warfighters, conducting operations in congested environments, and securely processing and communicating data to other autonomous agents.

Radiopharmaceuticals, also called molecular imaging agents, if designed properly, can provide cross-sectional images of internal organs. These images can be used by physicians to diagnosis organ function. Modern molecular imaging agents accumulate within an organ by binding to a specific receptor. Consequently, the rate of accumulation is a function of the affinity and number of receptors within the organ.

The recent success of machine learning has been driven by advances in computer systems, and now it is time for a new era in which computer systems design is transformed through machine learning. This talk will focus on two of our recent works: Resource Allocation Optimization with Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Dynamic Neural Networks with Sparsely Gated Mixture of Experts.
