SWE Navistar Corporate Luncheon at Moreton Fig
Wed, Apr 03, 2013 @ 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations
Receptions & Special Events
Want a FREE lunch at Morton Fig on campus?? Then join us for our popular event series, Corporate Luncheons, with Navistar! All majors and years are welcome, although we strongly encourage Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Industrial Systems majors and juniors & seniors. You don't have to be a SWE member to attend!
Signups are limited (9 students only) and are available on a first come, first served basis starting Wednesday, 4/27 at 10am (that means now!).
Bring your REFUNDABLE $10 deposit to RTH 210 (CED).
Navistar is a Fortune 200 company that is the manufacturer
and marketer of medium and heavy trucks and mid-range diesel engines.
The specific job opportunity we are recruiting for is the Sales Operations Leadership Development Program. The Sales Operations Leadership Development Program, otherwise known as the SOLD Program is a 2 year rotational development training program that takes young professionals and helps them to develop the skills and assets they need to be successful in the truck sales environment. Our two-year program is designed to give individuals more than enough training for their future in sales with Navistar. Each rotation gives the SOLD Associates a working knowledge of how different departments work within sales. Rotations consist of pricing, marketing, engineering, customer service and manufacturing.

CS Colloquium: Stefano Tessaro (MIT CSAIL): Theoretical Foundations for Applied Cryptography
Wed, Apr 03, 2013 @ 03:30 PM - 05:00 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Stefano Tessaro, MIT CSAIL
Talk Title: Theoretical Foundations for Applied Cryptography
Series: CS Colloquium
Abstract: My talk explains that obtaining quality applied cryptography (i.e., with the desired combination of security assurance and performance) requires significant and deep advances in theory. I will discuss three illustrative examples.
First, I will present my results on a process called security amplification that may be used to make block ciphers (the workhorses of modern cryptography under which encryption is ubiquitously
performed) more secure against cryptanalysis.
Second, I will introduce my theory of multi-instance security, which may be applied to provide the first theoretical analysis of the effectiveness of the classical practice of password salting.
Third, I will bridge a 35-year gap between the information & coding community and the cryptography community by providing cryptographic foundations, as well as schemes with optimal parameters, for private communication based solely on the assumption that the communication channel from sender to adversary is noisier than the one from sender to receiver. The resulting schemes, being keyless, are particularly attractive in wireless communication scenarios.
Biography: Stefano Tessaro is currently a research scientist in the Cryptography and Information Security group at MIT CSAIL. He received his MSc and PhD from ETH Zurich in 2005 and 2010, respectively. From 2010 to 2012, he was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, San Diego. His research interests are in cryptography and its connections to theoretical computer science and information theory.

AME - Department Seminar
Wed, Apr 03, 2013 @ 03:30 PM - 04:30 AM
Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Yogendra M. Gupta , Regents Professor of Physics Director of Institute for Shock Physics Department of Physics and Institute for Shock Physics Washington State University Pullman, WA 99164
Talk Title: Understanding Materials Dynamics under Rapid Impulsive Loading
Abstract:
Dynamic compression experiments (~5 to 200 GPa) subject materials to large compressions, deformations, and high temperatures on very short time scales (ps to üs) resulting in a rich array of physical and chemical changes. Credibly linking and understanding the dynamic response of materials in real-time across different length scales constitutes the major scientific challenge in the field. After a brief introduction about shock wave compression, this talk will summarize recent research activities, experimental developments, and future opportunities to understand condensed matter dynamics at high stresses and short times.
Wednesday, April 3, 2013
3:30 PM
Seaver Science Library, Room 150 (SSL 150)
Refreshments will be served at 3:15 pm.
Biography: Yogendra M. Gupta, Regents Professor in the Department of Physics and Director of the Institute for Shock Physics, has been a faculty member at Washington State University (WSU) since 1981. Prior to his appointment at WSU, he spent nearly seven years at the Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International) preceded by two years of postdoctoral research. Since 1970, Gupta has been engaged in experimental and theoretical research related to shock wave and high pressure compression of condensed matter. His work has emphasized real-time examination and understanding of microscopic processes using a variety of time-resolved measurements and related analyses (optical spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and several continuum methods) in a wide range of materials. Gupta and his collaborators have worked on a broad range of condensed matter phenomena: structural transformations, chemical reactions, and deformation and fracture. These studies have resulted in over 275 publications. Currently, Professor Gupta is leading a major experimental effort to establish the Dynamic Compression Sector at the Advanced Photon Source (Argonne), a DOE/NNSA supported user facility. Since joining WSU, he has supervised the work of more than 100 graduate students and research associates. Professor Gupta is a Fellow of both the American Physical Society (1991) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2002), and has served on numerous committees related to U.S. national security programs. In 2001, he received the American Physical Society's Shock Compression Science Award, the premier award in the field. In 2005, he was the recipient of Washington State University's highest faculty recognition, the Eminent Faculty Award.
