Meet USC
Fri, Mar 28, 2008
Viterbi School of Engineering Undergraduate Admission
Workshops & Infosessions
This half day program is designed for prospective freshmen and family members. Meet USC includes an information session on the University and the Admission process; a student led walking tour of campus and a meeting with us in the Viterbi School. Meet USC is designed to answer all of your questions about USC, the application process and financial aid.This program occurs twice, once at 9:00 a.m. and again at 12:00 p.m. Reservations are required for Meet USC. Please visit http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/visit/events/meet_usc/ to check availability and make an appointment. Be sure to list an Engineering major as your "intended major" on the webform!
Location: USC Admission Center

Total Maximum Daily Load for Trash
Fri, Mar 28, 2008 @ 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM

Eric Wu, Ph.D., P.E., TMDL Unit IILos Angeles Regional Water Quality Control BoardAbstract In 1998, the United States Environmental Protection Agency entered into a Settlement Agreement with Heal the Bay and other environmental groups regarding Clean Water Act requirements to establish Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) in region of the State administered by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board Los Angeles Region, including TMDLs for trash impaired waterbodies. Up to date, Regional Board has adopted eight trash TMDLs, seven of which have become effective after USEPA approval since 2001. Currently, Regional Board staff has one trash TMDL under development. Trash has been demonstrated to be detrimental to environment and ecological systems. To protect beneficial uses of waterbodies in the Los Angeles Region, including coastal waterbodies, a numeric target of "zero" trash was determined by the Regional Board. Both point sources, such as storm drains, and nonpoint sources, commonly resulting from random trash disposal, are significant contributors to trash impairments. Compliance with zero trash discharge compels municipalities to enforce and evaluate existing trash control practices and to develop innovative approaches such as "full capture" systems which prevent trash from entering municipal stormdrain systems. Many full capture systems have been designed and installed to remove point sources trash and a program of Minimum Frequency of Assessment and Collection in conjunction with Best Management Practices (MFAC/BMP) has been developed to manage nonpoint source trash. Zero trash is expected to be attained with schedules prescribed by the Regional Board for point and nonpoint sources trash.

Design and Analysis Novel Wideband Analog/RF Integrated Circuits
Fri, Mar 28, 2008 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Payam HeydariUniversity of California at Irvine"Design and Analysis Novel Wideband Analog/RF Integrated Circuits"Abstract:
This talk will first give a brief overview of research in Nanoscale Communication IC (NCIC) Lab at UC-Irvine. Then, design of novel high frequency circuit techniques/topologies/architectures including distributed radios for wideband wireless transceivers, 22-29GHz receiver front-end for short-range automotive radars, and ultra-broadband buffers/amplifiers for broadband transceivers will be presented.Biography:
Payam Heydari received his B.S. and M.S. degrees (Honors) in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology in 1992 and 1995, respectively. He received his Ph.D. degree at the University of Southern California in 2001. He is now an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of California, Irvine.
During the summer of 1997, he was with Bell-labs, Lucent Technologies where he worked on noise analysis in high-speed CMOS integrated circuits (ICs). He worked at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center on gradient-based optimization and sensitivity analysis of custom ICs during the summer of 1998.
Dr. Heydari is the recipient of the 2007 IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Guillemin-Cauer Award, the 2005 IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Darlington Award, the 2005 National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award, the 2005 Henry Samueli School of Engineering Teaching Excellence Award, the Best Paper Award at the 2000 IEEE International Conference on Computer Design (ICCD), and the 2001 Technical Excellence Award in the area of Electrical Engineering from the Association of Professors and Scholars of Iranian Heritage (APSIH). He was recognized as the 2004 Outstanding Faculty in the EECS Department of the University of California, Irvine. His name appeared in the 2006 edition of Who's Who in America and Who's Who in Science and Engineering.
Dr. Heydari serves as the Associate Editor of IEEE Trans. on Circuits and Systems - I, and the Guest Editor of IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits. He currently serves on the Technical Program Committees of Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC), International Symposium on Low-Power Electronics and Design (ISLPED), and International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED). He is the director of the Nanoscale Communication IC (NCIC) Lab.
His research interests include design of ulta-high frequency analog and RF ICs, and high frequency on-chip interconnect design for high-speed ICs. He has published papers in premier conferences on integrated circuit design including ISSCC, CICC, RFIC Symposium, DAC. Results of the research in the NCIC Lab have appeared in more than 60 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers.
He is a Senior Member of the IEEE.Date: Friday, March 28, 2008
