Mechanisms of retron phage defense and bacterial-derived technologies for molecular recordingThe Shipman lab investigates the complex molecular machines that bacteria use to defend themselves against viruses and other bacteria, then draws on those mechanisms to invent new technologies that help researchers study and manipulate technically challenging aspects of biology. This seminar will touch on both the fundamental and technological components ...
The IceCube project at the South Pole melted 86 holes 2.5 kilometer deep in the Antarctic ice sheet to construct an enormous astronomical observatory that is also the largest neutrino detector ever built. The experiment discovered a flux of neutrinos from deep space with energies more than a million times ...

Remember when everyone rushed to ship microservices without service discovery, circuit breakers, or tracing? AI agents are in that exact "wild west" phase right now. Everyone is building them; very few are thinking about the infrastructure underneath.Drawing from real-world experience deploying production agents across 120+ microservices, this talk bypasses the ...
Wireless networks of the future are envisioned to be highly heterogeneous. They will include flying nodes like UAVs as base stations, relays, and sensors. We will discuss the characteristics of the future wireless communication and sensor networks and present the role of UAVs. We will consider the deployment and trajectory ...
