Yann LeCun, VP and Chief AI Scientist at Meta, to give 2024 Lytle Lecture
UW ECE is proud to welcome renowned computer scientist Yann LeCun, who will deliver the Department’s 2024 Lytle Lecture on Wednesday, January 24, in the HUB Lyceum.
Data Sciences are fundamentally transforming nearly every area of engineering, science, and society. The University of Washington’s Electrical & Computer Engineering faculty are making fundamental contributions to many different areas of data sciences, including machine learning, AI, optimization, information theory, computer vision, and speech and natural language processing. Many of our data sciences faculty hold secondary appointments in applied mathematics, computer science and engineering, bioengineering, and other departments, and are active participants in cross-disciplinary institutes such as UW’s eScience Institute, the Allen Institute of Artificial Intelligence and the Bloedel Hearing Research Center.

Read the latest issue of The Integrator, UW ECE’s flagship, annual publication intended for alumni and friends of the Department. The magazine highlights the UW ECE community and covers stories about extraordinary students and their achievements, faculty research and discoveries, alumni news, events and more!
Graduate students in UW ECE Professor Radha Poovendran’s TinyML course are learning how to squeeze cloud-based, machine learning networks into small, resource-constrained devices.
A UW research team led by UW ECE and Physics Associate Professor Arka Majumdar has moved quantum technology development a significant step ahead, demonstrating a new kind of silicon photonic chip that could work as a solid foundation for building a quantum simulator, one with useful applications in the real world.
UW ECE Associate Professor Payman Arabshahi was recently named site director and principal investigator at the UW for this new, multi-institutional, NSF-funded Center.
Poovendran will be the UW lead for a new, multi-university institute, which is developing approaches that leverage AI to defend against cyberthreats that target the security and privacy of computer networks and their users.
