UCI Professor Payam Heydari and his team of researchers at the Nanoscale Communication Integrated Circuits Lab have created a new kind of receiver chip with a software based approach. This chip skirts the problem of multiple receivers for different bandwidths by using a software based approach. This functions by detecting and reprogramming the radio to receive on unused or low traffic bands. This function requires the use of adaptive filters to remove unwanted interference from other frequencies. The most advanced of these filters is called N-path which creates unwanted signals known as spurious re-radiation which create so much interference that they reduce the quality of communication and can affect nearby users which violate communication standards.

But, the newly designed receiver architecture seems to have solved these problems so that it is compatible with the most stringent of standards. Going forwards, Professor Heydari, and his students have filed a patent application for their technology and are thinking of launching a startup company in the wake of their success.

A Post Doctorate at the Institute for Computer and Network Engineering (IDA) at Braunschweig University of Technology (TUBS), Germany, Eberle A. Rambo, is a visiting scholar working with Professor Nikil Dutt and Fadi Kurdahi (CECS, UCI) in cooperation with Professor Rolf Ernst (IDA, TUBS) and Professor Andreas Herkersdorf (TUM) in the Project Information Processing Factory (IPF) looking at the challenges of dynamically handling hardware failures in a mixed-critical real-time system context. He received the B.Sc. and M.Sc.degrees in Computer Science from the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Florianopolis, Brazil, in 2009 and 2011, respectively, and the Dr.-Ing. Degree in Computer Engineering from Braunschweig University of Technolgy, Braunschweig, Germany 2019

His research interests include many-core architecture and design for mixed-critical real-time systems. His focus concentrates on the integrity, reliability, resilience and availability of such systems and their communication backbone, the Network-on-Chip. Besides, Brazilian, German and European funded research projects, he has also worked on long-term innovation, industrial projects with major companies on fail-operational and reliable in-vehicle networks.

CECS Lectures and Seminars

On Tuesday, May 14, 2019, Jyotirmoy Vinay Deshmukh, Assistant Professor in the Viterbi School of Engineering at the University of Southern Calfornia, Los Angeles, presented a seminar titled “Safety Verification and Training for Learning-enabled Cyber-Physical Systems.” The talk centered around the problem of the lack of interpretability, explainability, and verifiability of neural networks and a new verification approach based on automatically synthesizing a barrier certificate for the system to prove that starting from a given set of initial conditions, the system behavior can never reach an unsafe state as well as figuring out whether it is possible to train neural networks to obey safety constraints through new ways of reinforcement learning.

Jyotirmoy V. Deshmukh (Jyo) is an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science in the Viterbi School of Engineering at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, USA. Before joining USC, Jyo worked as

a Principal Research Engineer in Toyota Motors North America R&D. He got his Ph.D. degree from the University of Texas at Austin and was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. Jyo's research interest is in the broad area of formal methods. Currently, Jyo is interested in using logic-based methods for machine learning, and in techniques for the analysis, design, verification and synthesis of cyber-physical systems, especially those that use AI-based perception, control and planning algorithms.

CECS Seminar—Assistant Professor Jyotirmoy Vinay Deshmukh

On Tuesday, July 9, 2019, Stanley Bak of Safe Sky Analytics, LLC, presented a seminar titled “Scalable Set-based Analysis for Verification of Cyber-Physical Systems ”. The talk centered around the problem of simulations which cannot guarantee the absence of unsafe behaviors, which many CPS, which are safety critical systems, rely on and the improvements to the scalability of set-based reachbility computation for LTI hybrid automation models.

Stanley Bak is a research computer scientist investigating the formal verification of cyber-physical systems. He strives to create scalable and automatic formal analysis methods for complex models with both ordinary differential equations and discrete behaviors. The ultimate goal is to make formal approaches applicable, which demands developing

new theory, programming efficient tools and building experimental systems. Stanley Bak received a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in 2007 (summa cum laude), a Master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2009, and a PhD from UIUC in 2013. He received the Founders Award of Excellence for his undergraduate research at RPI in 2004, the Debra and Ira Cohen Graduate Fellowship from UIUC twice, in 2008 and 2009, and was awarded the Science, Mathematics and Research for Transformation (SMART) Scholarship from 2009 to 2013. Stanley worked as a research computer scientist for the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) from 2013 to 2018, both in the Information Directorate and the Aerospace Systems Directorate. Currently, he helps run Safe Sky Analytics, a small research consulting company working with the FAA and the Air Force.
