Academic Career Mentoring Panel Series
Wed, Oct 28, 2015 @ 11:30 AM - 01:30 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Doctoral Programs
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. James Moore and Panel, Viterbi School of Engineering
Talk Title: New Options in Academe: Choosing Between Tenure-Track and Non Tenure-Track Faculty Appointments
Abstract: Viterbi PhD students and postdocs are invited to our Fall 2015 mentoring panel. Academe is changing, and doctoral graduates in engineering are presented with a wider array of career opportunities than ever before. Growth in non tenure-track faculty positions has been expansive nation-wide, and competition for tenure-track positions, while always intense, has become even more competitive. Graduates face choices between pursuing research faculty, teaching faculty, and tenure-track faculty positions at public and private institutions that may focus on teaching or research or both.
Moderated by:
James Moore
Vice Dean for Academic Programs
Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering;
Public Policy and Management; and Civil Engineering

Communications, Networks & Systems (CommNetS) Seminar
Wed, Oct 28, 2015 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Ayfer Ozgur, Stanford University
Talk Title: Energy Harvesting and Rechargeable Wireless Networks
Series: CommNetS
Abstract: Energy-harvesting and wireless power transfer are quickly becoming game-changing technologies for wireless systems. The promise of self-sustained perpetual operation opens exciting possibilities for a wide range of applications from smart homes and automated highways to in-body health monitoring.
However, energy harvesting also brings a fundamental shift in communication system design principles. In conventional systems, energy is a deterministic quantity continuously available to the transmitter and transmission is constrained only in terms of average power. In harvesting systems, energy generation can be slow, unpredictable and fluctuate significantly over time, and communication is constrained by the energy instantaneously available to the transmitter. This necessitates new principles for power control, communication and coding. In this talk, we investigate the information and communication-theoretic foundations for this new form of communication.
Biography: Ayfer Ozgur is an Assistant Professor in the Information Systems Laboratory at Stanford University since 2012. Before joining Stanford, she was a postdoctoral researcher and a Ph.D. student at EPFL, Switzerland. She received her Ph.D. degree from EPFL in 2009 and B.Sc. and M.Sc.degrees in electrical engineering and physics from Middle East Technical University, Turkey in 2001 and 2004 respectively. From 2001 to 2004, she worked as a hardware design engineer for the Defense Industries Research and Development Institute in Turkey. She received the EPFL Best Ph.D. Thesis Award (accross all areas) in 2010 and the NSFCAREER Award in 2013. Her research interests are in wireless and network communication, information and coding theory.
