MHI PhD Scholar information luncheon
Tue, Sep 04, 2012 @ 12:00 PM - 02:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
University Calendar
At the event the MHI leadership team and past scholars will explain the MHI PhD Scholar program and its benefits and then open the application process for the next fiscal year.
Lunch will be provided (registration required)
To register, please visit: http://mhi.usc.edu/events/event-details/?event_id=898080
Invited: Electrical Engineering Ph.D. students interested in becoming a Ph.D. Scholar
Scholar Program brief details:
Each year, a select group of top Ph.D. students from the EE department are selected as "Ming Hsieh Institute Ph.D. Scholars." This set of students will be chosen carefully by a faculty committee on the basis of their research accomplishments and desire for an academic career beyond the Ph.D. The MHI Ph.D. Scholars are considered the top students in the department and prove to be leaders.
Location: Hughes Aircraft Electrical Engineering Center (EEB) - 248
Audiences: EE PhD students

All MHI Ph.D. Scholar Applicants are selected through a two-phase process by a faculty evaluation committee. The application process for the 2012-2013 Scholars begins on 9/4 and are due by 5pm on September 9, 2012. It's strongly encouraged that you attend the information luncheon on 9/4 before submitting an application.
8-10 finalists will be selected in the initial phase and will present their research at this public talk competition.
Finalists will give short talks about their research, and out of this group of finalists, 3-4 students will be selected to represent the department and MHI as Ming Hsieh Institute Ph.D. Scholars.

Engineering and Autism: A national workshop
Fri, Sep 28, 2012 @ 07:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
University Calendar
Creating synergies through a meeting of trans-disciplinary minds and perspectives
Workshop Theme:
Computational Approaches to Social Communication and Interaction Development in Autism
The entire community is invited but space is limited. Complimentary admission for registered attendees is on first-come/first-serve basis.
To register please visit: http://mhi.usc.edu/engineering-and-autism-workshop/
The Engineering and Autism Workshop is a one-day national workshop at USC that aims to bring together engineering researchers, especially in the broad domain of social/affective and communicative behavioral computing, with leading Autism researchers and clinicians as well as the broader community of stakeholders including families. It aims to highlight and explore the opportunities and possibilities of engineering and computing advances in supporting research and translation in Autism by creating synergies and partnerships by initiating a multidisciplinary dialog.
The focus of the workshop is on Social Communication and Interaction Development in Autism. Leading Autism researchers will speak about early detection and intervention advances while engineering researchers will highlight advances in sensing, behavioral signal processing, computing and behavioral informatics that hold promise for supporting Autism research and clinical translation. A panel of experts will discuss the potential, challenges and new directions for collaborative partnerships across the community.
The Engineering and Autism Workshop is sponsored and hosted by the Ming Hsieh Institute of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering. It is also hosted by the Center of Behavior Imaging of Georgia Institute of Technology and the Center of Autism Research in Engineering (CARE) of the USC Signal Analysis and Interpretation Laboratory.
Other workshop affiliates include Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign, Boston University, Carnegie Mellon University, Emory University, Northeastern University and the University of Pittsburgh. The collaborative Expeditions in Computing on Computational Behavioral Science is supported by the National Science Foundation.More Information: flyer program.pdf
