Introduction
SIRIUS (Sustainable Intelligent Resilient Ubiquitous Systems) group research endeavors span the areas of design and implementation of cross-layer (device, circuit, architecture) co-design for complex machine learning tasks, secure computation, and intermittent computing. Our work emphasizes resiliency and ubiquity in systems to ensure robust performance across varying conditions and environments. We also delve into hardware security and the security of artificial intelligence. Specifically, our team tackles practical challenges in machine learning, computer architecture, and embedded systems, aiming to seamlessly integrate neuromorphic computing approaches with traditional Von Neumann architectures to advance ubiquitous and intermittent computing solutions.
Fun Fact:
Sirius, also known as the Dog Star, is the brightest star in the night sky. Sirius is 25.5 times more luminous than the Sun. Sirius is a binary star made up of Sirius A, a main-sequence star, and Sirius B, a white dwarf companion star. Sirius’s name comes from the Greek word Seirios, which means “glowing” or “scorching.”
