December 1, 2025 ECE Interdisciplinary Seminar Series “Science & Technology With No Boundaries” The purpose of this monthly seminar series is to encourage UM researchers from diverse academic backgrounds work together on solving “big” problems of today and tomorrow. Launched in Spring 2023, these seminars have become popular among both students and faculty and led to a number of successful partnerships and initiatives withing the U and beyond.
Maryam Shanechi, University of Southern California, 2025 Eliahu I. & Joyce Jury ECE Seminar: “AI Driven Neurotechnology”, Whitten Learning Center, Room 194, 11:00AM-12:00PM, December 1, 2025
Please stay tuned! Our next seminar, by UM Physics Professor Thomas Curtright, expected to take place early next semester (Spring 2026), will be announced soon.
ECE Interdisciplinary Seminar Series “Science & Technology With No Boundaries” Past Seminars: Science and Technology With No Boundaries Quantum Computing Club (QCC) QCC meets every Friday, 12:30-1:30 PM, in MEB 404. We welcome all undergraduate and graduate students who are passionate about the field and would love to participate in our projects. We welcome students from a broad range of departments across the U, not just ECE! We aim to use our interdisicplinary culture and collaborations in academia, industry and government to fill in the current gap to create reallife applications of quantum computing. We design and build actual circuits suitable for "low-hanging-fruit" applications as well as transformational societal impacts. Most importantly, our mission is to help Canes to embrace the rapidly growing excitement around quantum computing and build on the existing great legacy of the U!
