Talk Title: Graph Signal Processing in the Spectral Domain: Filter Design, Denoising, and Applications
Abstract: Graph signal processing (GSP) is an emerging field of signal and information processing. It aims to extract useful information from complex structured data. There are many potential application areas, e.g., sensor networks including IoT, smart grid, biomedical engineering, machine learning, computer vision/graphics, pattern recognition, bioinformatics, and geographic information systems. First, fundamentals of graph signal processing are briefly introduced in this talk, then some recent works on GSP in the graph spectral (graph Fourier) domain, which include wavelet/filter bank design, graph signal denoising, sensor placement in the GSP perspective, and EEG signal classification, will be presented.
Biography: Yuichi Tanaka received the B.E., M.E. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Keio University, Yokohama, Japan, in 2003, 2005 and 2007, respectively. He was a Postdoctoral Scholar at Keio University, Yokohama, Japan, from 2007 to 2008, and supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). From 2006 to 2008, he was also a visiting scholar at the University of California, San Diego (VideoProcessing Group supervised by Prof. T. Q. Nguyen). From 2008 to 2012, he was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Information Science, Utsunomiya University, Tochigi, Japan. Since 2012, he has been an Associate Professor in Graduate School of BASE, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, Tokyo, Japan. His current research interests are in the field of multidimensional signal processing which includes: graph signal processing, image and video processing with computer vision techniques, distributed video coding, objective quality metric, and effective spatial-frequency transform design. Dr. Tanaka has been an Associate Editor of IEICE Trans. Fundamentals since 2013. Currently he is an elected member of the APSIPA Image, Video and Multimedia Technical Committee. He was a recipient of the Yasujiro Niwa Outstanding Paper Award in 2010, the TELECOM System Technology Award in 2011, and Ando Incentive Prize for the Study of Electronics in 2015. He also received APSIPA ASC 2014 Best Paper Award.

Integrated Systems Seminar Series
Fri, Dec 11, 2015 @ 02:00 PM - 03:30 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Prof. Jeyanandh Paramesh, Carnegie Mellon University
Talk Title: Ultra-wideband Millimeter-wave and Reconfigurable RF Integrated Circuits for Next Generation Communications
Series: Integrated Systems Seminar
Abstract: The demand for wireless capacity and data rates continues to grow unabated. In order to meet this demand, future communication systems will incorporate a mix of potential solutions, including reconfigurable, spectrum sharing radios in the low GHz bands, and (sub)mm-wave radios. This talk presents recent research aimed at addressing these challenges, including the design of ultra-wideband mm-wave beamformers, and their constituent circuit blocks. This talk will also present Carnegie Mellon's long-standing research on reconfigurable RF transceivers using phase-change vias, which offer reversible transformation between an extremely low on-resistance and an extremely high off-resistance, together with very low parasitic capacitance.
Biography: Dr. Jeyanandh Paramesh received the B.Tech, degree from IIT, Madras, the M.S degree from Oregon State University and the Ph.D degrees from the University of Washington, Seattle, all in Electrical Engineering. He is currently Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. He has held product development positions with Analog Devices, where he designed high-performance data converters, and Motorola where he designed analog and RF integrated circuits for cellular transceivers. From 2002 to 2004, he was with the Communications Circuit Lab, Intel where he developed multi-antenna receivers, high-efficiency power amplifiers and high-speed data converters high data-rate wireless transceivers. His research broadly addresses design and technological challenges related to RF and mixed-signal integrated circuits and systems for emerging applications.
