MIT Professor Dimitris Bertsimas will present:1) a new epidemiological model of the evolution of COVID-19 and its extension that takes into account government policies; 2) a new machine learning model for predicting COVID-positive and mortality using data from over 40 hospitals around the world; and 3) a new optimization model for allocating vaccines to minimize deaths.

In this talk, I will discuss my work designing lensless cameras that capture extra dimensions of image data, such as depth and high speed information.

We've got some exciting news to share. On behalf of both the UC Berkeley EECS department and Apple, we'd like to invite you to a special event where we are going to announce a new joint hardware education initiative. If you're interested in great courses with exciting class hardware projects with experienced industry feedback, as well as new scholarships, fellowships, internships, and careers in...

Zoom link https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/91248623512 We propose a new concept for bio-composites’ fabrication, which uses living, undifferentiated plant cells, to produce materials with properties comparable to engineered woods (plywood, MDF) and commercial plastics. The use of “engineered living systems” to fabricate materials sustainably is an emerging line of research.

** https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/92107324763 The Hubbard model, first formulated by physicist John Hubbard in the 1960s, is a simple theoretical model of interacting quantum particles in a lattice. The model is thought to capture the essential physics of high-temperature superconductors, magnetic insulators, and other complex emergent quantum many-body ground states.

https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/92956226569 Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease that is endemic to 98 countries and claims tens of thousands of lives each year. Of the handful of drugs available to treat infection with Leishmania spp., two contain the main-group element antimony: meglumine antimoniate and sodium stibogluconate.

The cloud has become the most common way to deliver commercial software, but it requires building products in a very different way from traditional software, which has not been heavily studied in research. I will explain some of these challenges based on my experience at Databricks, a startup that provides a data analytics platform as a service on AWS and Azure. Databricks manages...
