ECE Energy & Information Systems Seminar

Energy & Information Systems Seminar is an informal, highly interactive seminar run by the signal processing, information theory, machine learning, communications, power, and control groups in ECE at CMU. It broadly includes theory and data science-related talks. While designed to provide a forum for interactions between researchers of diverse interests in general, we especially encourage CMU students and postdocs to present in the seminar.

The "regular" seminar time for Fall 2019 is 1:30pm to 2:30pm Tuesday, but it can vary across weeks. If you would like to give a talk or meet with a visiting speaker, please contact the seminar committee at eis-committee [at] lists [dot] andrew [dot] cmu [dot] edu. If you are interested in receiving more information, announcements and updates about talks at this seminar series, please join the EIS Mailing List.
