Storage-Centric Computing for Genomics and Metagenomics
DATE/TIME: Thursday, October 17th, 3:00pm
SPEAKER: Nika Mansouri Ghiasi, ETH Zürich
The exponential growth of genomic data poses unprecedented challenges in genomics and metagenomic applications. These applications suffer from significant data movement overheads from the storage system. To fundamentally address these overheads, we make a case for storage-centric computing.

Dissecting the Software Supply Chain of Modern Industrial Control Systems
DATE/TIME: Thursday, May 23rd, 10:00am
SPEAKER: Prof. Michail (Mihalis) Maniatakos, NYU Abu Dhabi
In this seminar, we will shed light to the security landscape of modern ICS, dissecting firmware from the dominant vendors and motivating the need of employing appropriate vulnerability assessment tools.
Agile Hardware Specialization
DATE/TIME: Wednesday, May 1st, 11:00am
SPEAKER: Prof. Yun Eric Liang, Peking University
As Moore’s law is approaching to the end, designing specialized hardware accelerator along with the software that map the applications onto the specialized hardware is a promising solution. However, the hardware is very difficult to design and optimize due to the low-level programming and huge design space.
