NYU?s Research Platform for End-To-End 5G mmWave Communications
Dr. Marco Mezzavilla
NYU Tandon School of Engineering
To register for this event, please click here
In this talk, Dr. Mezzavilla will provide a description of the most recent activities, awarded projects, and key finds related to mmWave communications. The focus will be on NYU’s end-to-end research platform, which comprises a channel sounder that integrates a phased-array with 12 steerable antenna elements, a mmWave channel emulator, and a customizable open source network simulator for 5G end-to-end mmWave cellular systems (whose tutorial recently appeared in IEEE COMST). This platform has been awarded a NIST grant to assess the feasibility of mmWave communications for emergency scenarios. Moreover, the same team, in collaboration with Rutgers University and Columbia University ...

Speaker: Dr. Hsueh-Fen Juan, Professor, Department of Life Science, Graduate Institute of Biomedical Electronics and Bioinformatics, National Taiwan University, Editor Board of Scientific Reports (Nature Research) Vice Chairman, Taiwan Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Society
Date/Time: Tuesday, May 1, 2018 from 11:00am to 12:00pm
Location: CEME 1203
Title: Systems Biology for Target and Drug Discovery
Abstract:
Precision medicine is a medical model with the idea that molecular information improves the precision with which patients are categorized and treated. Systems biology, one of the applications of precision medicine, aims to analyze the molecular expression level of an individual patient and further for targeted therapy. In this talk, I will represent how to find out drug targets and drugs in lung and breast cancers as well as neuroblastoma using systems biology approach. Here, we integrated not only proteome but also various gene expression datasets ...

MECH 2 SpaceX Landing Pad Competition: April 18, 2018MECH 2 Competition April 2018
from UBC Mechanical Engineering
(2018/4/20 3:03)
|
The spring MECH 2 Competition took place on Wednesday, April 18, with 20 teams of second-year mechanical engineering students competing in a SpaceX design challenge. Teams designed remote-controlled landing pads that could be used to transport a rocket booster back to shore.
The competition took place in a 60-foot pool, with teams competing head to head.
Their efforts were recorded by several media outlets, including Xinhuanet , and Breakfast Television (segment starts at the 2:25 mark).

Design&Innovation Day 2018: Congratulations to Our Fourth Year Students on Their Capstone ProjectsIM
from UBC Mechanical Engineering
(2018/4/16 8:04)
|
On April 5, the Faculty of Applied Science hosted its annual Design and Innovation Day where fourth-year students from all departments could showcase their capstone design projects.
MECH students displayed their projects in the Engineering Design Centre, and were judged on their projects by industry members, faculty, and their peers.
At the end of the day, MECH recognized the many industry partners who supported the capstone design projects, and awarded several internal awards decided by the 4th year students, including “greenest project,” “scariest project,” among others.
Congratulations to all of our fourth year students for their hard work! Photos of some of the projects are included below.

Join us for the final MECH 2 Competition of the 2017/2018 school year!
In teams of 6-7, second year MECH students are creating remote-controlled ships to perform certain functions of the autonomous landing platforms used by SpaceX. Their vessels will have to move quickly, maneuver around obstacles, keep position (to receive rocket booster), and maintain stability in waves, while transporting rocket booster models.
Competition schedule:
April 18, 2018
9:30 – 11 am – Poster presentations ( EDC 102)
11 am – 2 pm – Competition ( KAIS 1180)
Student teams only have about 2 weeks to complete their designs. Want to see how their designs do? Come watch the 20 teams compete!
