Viterbi School of Engineering Alumni
University Calendar
What technologies have evolved from a machine learning context that will help us in this unprecedented time? Join us for a live 60-minute webinar as Dr. Viktor Prasanna guides us through his development for a tool that will predict the global spread of the COVID-19 epidemic. He will share, for the first time, results from ReCOVER, his latest data model for accurate predictions and resource allocation for COVID-19 and other epidemics response. This webinar will feature a live Q&A session.
Dr. Prasanna holds the Charles Lee Powell Chair in Engineering and is a professor of electrical engineering and a professor of computer science. His research interests include high performance computing, parallel and distributed systems, reconfigurable computing, cloud computing and smart energy systems. He received his bachelor's degree in electronics engineering from the Bangalore University, master's degree from the School of Automation, Indian Institute of Science and Ph.D. in computer science from the Pennsylvania State University. Prasanna received the W. Wallace McDowell Award from the IEEE Computer Society in 2015 for his contributions to reconfigurable computing. He received an Outstanding Engineering Alumnus Award from the Pennsylvania State University in 2009. He received a 2019 Distinguished Alumnus Award from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). He is a Fellow of the IEEE, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the American Association for Advancement of Science (AAAS).

Viterbi School of Engineering Alumni
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Andrew Viterbi, Alumnus and Namesake of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Talk Title: The Mathematics of Epidemics: A Century-Long Saga
Biography: Dr. Andrew Viterbi earned one of the first doctorates in electrical engineering ever granted at USC. The "Viterbi Algorithm", a mathematical formula to eliminate signal interference, paved the way for the widespread use of cellular technology, and catapulted Viterbi into the limelight of wireless communications worldwide. Today, the Viterbi Algorithm is used in all four international standards for digital cellular telephones, as well as in data terminals, digital satellite broadcast receivers and deep space telemetry. Viterbi is also the co-developer of CDMA -- Code Division Multiple Access -- the most widely used cell phone technology in the U.S.
