ECE Research Series

The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department is excited to be hosting Dr. Tao Shen, Associate Dean, School of Information Engineering and Automation, Kunminng University of Science and Technology as a speaker in our ECE Research Seminar Series.

Abstract

Terahertz spectroscopy is a rapidly evolving field with interesting applications in medical imaging, security, scientific imaging (chemistry, biochemistry, astronomy), communications, and manufacturing. The terahertz (THz) spectrum also has the "fingerprint" characteristics, which lead to significant applications in materials characterization/analysis and have become the complementary technique for optical imaging, Raman and infrared spectroscopy. Dr. Shen will talk about Machine Learning and it's importance Terahertz spectroscopy.

Biography

Dr. Tao Shen received his B.S. degree from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in 2006 and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology, USA in 2008 and 2013 respectively.
