USC CAIS Seminar
Tue, Apr 29, 2025 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science, USC School of Advanced Computing
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Shubham Singh, University of Illinois Chicago
Talk Title: Fair Scheduling and Resource Allocation for Public Services
Abstract: The efficient and equitable distribution of public resources—such as health inspectors, mail delivery, and street sweeping—is crucial for local governments. However, disruptions to these allocation processes often reflect deep-seated historical and social inequalities, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. In this talk, we examine how single-objective predictive models can exacerbate societal disparities, how different choices of efficiency and fairness objectives lead to divergent outcomes under the same allocation policy, and the limitations of ranking methods in achieving an optimal utility-fairness tradeoff.
Biography: Shubham Singh is a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Chicago, focusing on computational methods for tackling socio-technical challenges. His research spans resource allocation, fair machine learning, and privacy and security. An active member of the FAccT and EAAMO communities, he has published at EAAMO, USENIX, and workshops at ICML and NeurIPS. He has been recognized through the Google CS Research Mentorship Program and serves as the Working Groups Co-lead for EAAMO Bridges (formerly MD4SG), reflecting his dedication to socially impactful research.

Quantum/Physics Joint seminar, Ofer Naaman, Tuesday, April 29th at 4pm in EEB 248 & Zoom
Tue, Apr 29, 2025 @ 04:00 PM - 05:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Ofer Naaman, Research Scientist Google Quantum AI
Talk Title: Quantum computing at Google
Series: Quantum/Physics Joint Seminar Series
Abstract: Google Quantum AI's mission is to build a useful quantum computer. In this talk I will review Google's approach to quantum computing, and our roadmap to building a useful machine based on superconducting qubits. I will highlight milestone experiments along our roadmap, demonstrating beyond-classical computation and quantum error correction, and some of the multidisciplinary technical challenges we are addressing toward a long-lived error-corrected logical qubit.
Biography: Ofer Naaman (he/him) is a research scientist with Google Quantum AI, where he leads the readout hardware team. Ofer holds a BSc degree from Tel Aviv University and a PhD in physics from UC San Diego. Prior to joining Google, Ofer was at NIST Boulder, UC Berkeley, and Northrop Grumman, where he has worked on topics ranging from single-electron transistors, quantum computing, and parametric amplifiers, to superconducting logic and cryogenic memory. He authored and co-authored 55+ papers and 25+ patents, is a member of APS, and an IEEE MTT-S senior member.
