Explore USC - Admitted Students Only
Mon, Apr 13, 2009
Viterbi School of Engineering Undergraduate Admission
Receptions & Special Events
Explore USC is the most extensive campus visit program. Even if you have already visited USC, these sessions are a great way to get an even more in-depth look at USC. This daylong program includes Campus Tours, Neighborhood Bus Tours, Presentations on Financial Aid and Housing, Curricular overview, meetings with Engineering faculty & students as well as facility lab tours. Lunch and Dinner is included as part of the program.These sessions are very popular and have limited space available, so be sure to reserve a space as soon as possible!

Opportunities and Challenges in Uncertainty Quantification for Complex Interacting systems
Mon, Apr 13, 2009
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Chaired by Roger Ghanem and Demetrios Spanos, this Workshop will provide a forum where issues of uncertainty quantification and model validation in predictive science will be addressed. It will bring together leading scientists from physics-based modeling, network science and social networks to explore the fundamental similarities and differences in the challenges facing them. Challenges and opportunities will be identified and a community of researchers and collaborators seeded.The Workshop will revolve around survey lectures and break-out sessions and will culminate in a report that summarizes participants' perspective on challenges and opportunities in developing a rational path forward for the discipline.The Workshop begins at 6 p.m. Sunday April 12 with an icebreaker meeting, and continues in all-day sessions the next two days. A complete agenda is at

A Hybrid CMOS/Memristor Circuits as a Future Computing Paradigm
Mon, Apr 13, 2009 @ 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
SPEAKER: Dr. Dmitri Strukov, Postdoctoral Research Associate,
Hewlett Packard LaboratoriesABSTRACT:I will present a novel computing paradigm, based on hybrid circuits made of a conventional CMOS layer complemented with back-end memristive (short for memory and resistor) crossbar layers. The basic idea of such circuits is to combine the advantages of the CMOS technology including its flexibility and high fabrication yield with those of ultra dense stackable crosspoint memristive devices. Such devices are naturally incorporated into the crossbar fabric enabling very high functional density at acceptable fabrication cost and can be effectively used in various applications which I will describe in my talk.A memristor is a 2-terminal thin-film electrical circuit element that changes its resistance depending on the total amount of charge that flows through the device. We show that the memristance naturally arises in systems for which electronic and dopant equations of motion in a semiconductor are coupled in the presence of an applied electric field. While memristance was observed for at least fifty years it had never been given proper attention; however, it is very promising for a variety of digital and analog applications.Detailed simulations have shown that proposed hybrid CMOS/memristor circuits not only can provide orders of magnitude improvements in density of digital memories and field programmable logic circuits over conventional end-of-the-roadmap counterparts, but also for the first time enable implementation of large scale neuromorphic networks for advanced information processing. This presentation will cover various aspects of the hybrid circuits including physical models of memristive devices, circuit architecture simulations, and some recent experimental results.BIO: A research associate at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in Palo Alto, CA, Dr. Strukov is working on the theoretical aspects of memristive devices and circuits. His interests include the physical implementation of computation, including device physics, circuit design, and high-level architecture, with emphasis on emerging device technologies. He received a MS in applied physics from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and a PhD in electrical engineering from Stony Brook University in New York.Location: Hughes Aircraft Electrical Engineering Center (EEB) - 248
