Privacy Protection for Autonomous Vehicles

Speaker: Kok-Seng Wong, PhD, Associate Professor, College of Engineering and Computer Science Topic:  In the awakening of cutting-edge technology, companies such as Apple, Waymo, and Tesla are racing to launch the industry’s first fully autonomous car. Besides the technical challenges (safeness and infrastructure), privacy and data protection have attracted the autonomous vehicle industry and researchers’ attention.

Maximum Entropy Principle and out-of-Equilibrium Thermodynamics

Speaker: Thomas Oikonomou, PhD, Faculty, College of Engineering and Computer Science Topic:  There have recently been various proposals of statistical entropic measures in order to create a theoretical thermodynamic foundation for complex out-of-equilibrium systems. Their (in)appropriateness is discussed and analyzed on the ground of the Maximum Entropy Principle. In this presentation, I will demonstrate a
