@yuqirose Congrats!

@CalvinDeu My advice: always do what you think is best for the students. A wise woman once said: “It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission.” That is especially true in academia in my experience.

[Ryan Kastner @rck289]

@arimirian You are aging gracefully. Congrats!

[Ryan Kastner @rck289]

@jmgduarte @UCSDPhysics No brainer. Congrats! I look forward to what is next in your amazing career.

CSE & @CNSUCSD researchers presented four papers
@ASPLOSConf, with two winning Distinguished Paper Awards. The winning authors @ShrNarayan and Jennifer Switzer explore solutions to #cybersecurity and #carbonfootprint in #computing respectively.

Hardware security is, indeed, insane

[stacksmashing @ghidraninja]

"How would you ever extract a secret from that FPGA?"

"Ah easy, we just look at the analog imprint from bias temperature instability effects on the underlying transistors."

Hardware security is just insane.

@georgemporter Is it the all powerful “Committee on Committees”? Because that is real committee at UCSD and most universities. I would imagine they would talk about this and other meta-committee things.

[Christman Lab @ChristmanLab]

Thanks for the nice video and explanation of our @natBME paper!

[Javier M. Duarte @jmgduarte]

Exciting work from Olivia Weng, Gabriel Marcano, Vladimir Loncar, @rck289, @fkoushanfar, and others using @hls4ml and hardware-aware knowledge distillation to make #ResNets on #FPGAs more resource efficient! @UCSDPhysics @ucsd_cse @MIT @XilinxInc

I've had this job for the last 6 years and got tenure this year – here are some highlights of the position and department from my (personal) perspective. ↘️

Join us this Thursday to hear about our projects from the @NSF @UCSDE4E REU Summer program!

[UCSD Engineering @UCSDJacobs]

Twelve students spent the summer at @UCSanDiego working with our Engineers for Exploration team on projects including acoustic wildlife monitoring, underwater 3D cameras, and a smart surfboard fin. Tune in Thursday at 11am as they present their work! https://t.co/fwyI9toD4k

[UCSD Engineering @UCSDJacobs]

Surfer scientists can catch waves & collect ocean data with Smartfin: @Nerdist profiles our research collaboration with @Scripps_Ocean to use a smart surfboard fin to monitor water temperature near shore: https://t.co/AkpCeMZ6d3

[UC San Diego @UCSanDiego]

Smartfin, a research project from @Scripps_Ocean and @UCSDJacobs, consists of a fin that can be mounted on a surfboard, equipped with temperature and location sensors and a wireless device that transmits the data to the cloud. https://t.co/jaC8QkkR0s

[Ryan Kastner @rck289]

Undergraduate researchers from our @UCSDE4E @NSF REU Site show that computer science & engineering is much more than just sitting behind a computer. Look closely and you will see a tiny computer in that surfboard fin collecting data to help better understand our oceans.

[UCSD Engineering @UCSDJacobs]

Surfing for Science! Students from all over the nation are working @UCSanDiego on a surfboard fin with sensors to measure ocean temperature and more: https://t.co/1YVCcWqT4R

Congrats to Colin Drewes for receiving the MS Research Award! Colin did some fantastic research on the security implications of multitenancy on FPGAs. Colin heads to Stanford this Fall for his PhD.

[UCSD CSE @ucsd_cse]

A big congratulations to all our @UCSanDiego CSE End of Year Award winners! We're so proud of our undergraduate, masters, and PhD students who were honored for their contributions in research, education, diversity, and leadership! @UCSDJacobs #UCSDCSE2022
